"In UP, we are taught to go beyond what we have. We don't wait for things to happen. We make things happen."

Personally, I loved his speech. Skip to 8 minutes for Dr. Agulto's Speech. Trust me, it's worth watching especially if you are an isko/iska.

Never thought it would take this long

Wooow. The Doktora mode had just been activated a few minutes past. For the past month, I'd been studying blindly. Windang talaga ako pre and post boards. I was so preoccupied with catching up that I almost forgot that this had been my dream for so long. But after tumblring and reading some medicine related entries (as in patient-related not troll/funny medschool posts), the Doktora mode kicked in. I remembered that I was in med school, not just to keep on studying, but to be a doctor and treat patients. I recalled the patients that I encountered in the past and thought of the ones I'd be handling in the future. Suffice to say, that motivated me greatly. It was like an enzyme lowering my energy of activation. HAHAHA. (Oh biochem, you suck b****.) Hoping that I outdo myself this week or the next. Anyway. Toxic week ahead. Byeee.

The beginning is always the hardest - especially when you have boards coming up :))

Med, boards, new school, new culture. It's a lot to take in. It's been a struggle to be with a constant set of people for the following reasons:

Most of them are UST graduates so there are already preformed groups

There is so much work to do that you don't really have time to get to know everybody well.

I've had a lot of acquaintances, and I've had fun conversations with them...but I haven't actually developed a friendship that I feel secure with. (Well, except Jayson. hahaha. That's a given.) I believe that I should choose my friends wisely because I'm going to spend the next n years with them. I would like friends who are balanced - gago minsan, madalas masaya, pero nag-aaral. Today, we utilized the new seating arrangement from the Physio Department. I was extremely happy because I strongly believed that I would get along well with my seatmates. (Toxic pa man din ang physio lectures. Kailangan mo lagi ng karamay.) Just when I thought that I had an opportunity to actually develop a friendship with these people...they changed the seat plan again. I was extremely saddened by this. However, I'd like to add that board exams aside - I love what I am studying. Med school is actually fun despite the massive workload. As of now, if I would be asked to describe med school in one word, I would say, "NAKAKALOKA!" with a smile on my face.

Seriously want a pair

One bracelet after each week of N121.1 otherwise known as the Intensive Hospital Experience. These actually served as small increments of a reward and a countdown to the end of my clinical rotation.

Right after the last shift for the week, before meeting up with my parents at Robinson’s Manila, I would pass by the bead shop and randomly select one of their ready-made friendship bracelets. Haggard man ako palagi, masaya pa rin dahil may bagong bracelet.

I actually lost one bracelet at Rob right after I bought it. Guess I didn’t notice it slip off. I mean, I was malling half-asleep…so…sigh. It was pink.

Two of those were from Jonna. She gave them to me as an exchange gift last Christmas 2011.

Admittedly, N121.1 was a struggle because each week had a different professor who would demand different things. At some point, I was working my ass off to please the professor rather than to deliver quality care. But, paper work aside, I really enjoyed working in the ward. The absence of a hovering professor made every procedure “more real.” (Di nga sila naghohover pero nakakagulat kasi apparition naman ang trip nila ngayon.) Working in the ward and managing several patients independently is a rush. When you forget about the fact that you are being graded, it is a great kind of rush.

In the end, I really appreciated and enjoyed N121.1. It gave me experiences that I would never have gotten had I not studied in UPCN.

Bow.

Board Exams, Med School, the laziest version of myself - not a good combo. But whatever, I need to update this before it gets filled with "different" content. Begin.

It's catching up already...and I haven't even blogged about graduation yet. (Yes, I graduated. haha.) I've been busy attending review classes, ATTEMPTING to review at home, and sleeping. :D healinghopya said: Congratulations! :) good luck with the boards! >> Thank you! :D

The End.

Everything comes to an end. For Gregory House, that end comes next Monday. After following House and his antics through eight seasons, seeing this show draw to a close is bittersweet. Regardless of how formulaic the show eventually became, it had run a long and healthy course and introduced viewers to the world of a flawed and human doctor.

To a show that had its own part to play in inspiring my pursuit for medicine, thanks for the memories. I wish the actors and staff of the show the very best as they move on to new adventures and new endeavours.

I'll just admire you from afar.

Here we go again.
