Plan of Study

I finished my law degree in 2011. Passed the bar in 2012.
I am now on my third year in my coursework for my doctorate degree in communication at UP Open University. Next school year, I will already enroll in Comm 400 (Dissertation). I am excited to enter the candidacy phase of my doctorate studies.

However, next year, I need to take the Mandatory Continuing Legal Education (MCLE) Seminar. I intend also to enrol in the Master of Laws program of San Beda Graduate School of Law. For my thesis, I intend to write a treatise that will annotate the Philippine Laws on Trust and Investments. Wishful thinking.

Thereafter, I intend to take the PhD in Law and Economics at Erasmus Mundus Program (University of Bologna - Italy, University of Hamburg - Germany, Rotterdam Institute of Law and Economics - Netherlands, and Indira Ghandi Institute of Development Studies - India.). Imagine spending 4 years in 4 different universities for a PhD!

The ultimate question is: What will I do after my doctorate studies? He he he. Am I prepared ti pursue a career in the academe? He he he.

It was really fast. It was really quick.
It is undefined.

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way.
