You never know when time is up.
So take the risk! Grab the chance!
Say it! Do it!
Before it's too late...
So easy to say, yet so hard to do.

This week had been so-so. Our 1st day on hospital duty was not as toxic as the others'... though my partner was always the one who's doing almost everything (thanks for not playing with the baby). I really am wondering why the baby like him and not me. Maybe because she's a girl haha... Now what?! Look, I'm just trying to console myself, ok?! =P
After our Wednesday duty, we went straight to the college library to take our exam on abbreviations.

This pic was taken by Sir John Labor. Thanks Sir! :)
Last Thursday, we had this lecture about medical and surgical hand washing, donning of gloves and gown. It was kind of boring 'cause basically it's all about maintaining the sterility of the sterile field. After that the incoming 4th years gave us a test for their thesis wherein they want to know if classical music indeed can help a student relax while answering their exam. But the thing is, I was too relaxed that I wasn't able to finish answering the test haha... They have to work on that!Come Friday, we (with Bea and Carlann) went on a carpool with Carisse on our way to RITM. And again, the videos were informative, but kind of boring when it was already time for clarifications and the "FREAKING TOUR"! All we saw were doors and hallways!!! I think we've seen enough of that from school. @_@ After the 'freaking tour' we went straight ahead to ATC to have FUN! That's the only good thing that happened this week. Pictures will be posted later since my sister got away with my camera.Updated:Here are the pics! :)And because i forgot to charge my digi-cam, that's about it. @_@

I'll be posting my story about my three-day hospital duty tomorrow... MAYBE, maybe NOT! Really depends on my mood.
I just bumped into reality (bumping over and over again). Now i know how everything goes with that 'one' person (my close friends know who I'm referring to). And I've come to this point where I accept that fact that "the end" was done long ago... and not NOW. I know I'm a fool for even thinking that there might have been something special. Forgetting about such is indeed hard to deal with since I thought it was long gone but it's still alive and kicking! I know where I stand... and I'll STOP now (even it's already late) before it makes me crazy to the highest exponent possible.

Last exam tomorrow! NCM100 that is. What a relief!
Oopps! Not yet! You still have to study, Diana.

Also, tomorrow is our 'Creative Show' for Microbio... i hope everything will run smoothly as planned. Pictures to be posted after. This will be fun! :)
Hospital duty soon! I'm quite excited about it but I'm also scared. News about 1st exposure in LPDH coming soon...

Alas! Microbio down, NCM to go!
Funny how Dra. Aileen kept telling us not to stress ourselves because the more we think that the exam will be hard, the more that things wouldn't go in our heads. When the class started to get noisy and more panic-ky, she asked us if we'd like to take the exam at 1 or 3pm. Almost everyone voted to take it at 1pm, some just went with the flow like i did. So we took the exam. We were so nervous at that time... so afraid that we will fail... some scanned through their notes again, and some just quited and accepted the fact that the details won't come in their heads already. When our prof. distributed the paper, the more i felt the pressure. As I scanned through the test paper, turns out that the exam was perfectly fine unlike what we thought, though the things in that exam were the things that I disregarded to study since i focused on the diseases.
After the exam, we had our break so Carlann and I got my additional duty uniform at Belle's. When we got back, we reviewed on the answers to Part 1... and I'm happy to say that I only got 2 mistakes! Listening to classes really pays well! =P I just hope that I also got high on the other parts of the exam.

What a day! I've studied everything... ok, maybe i didn't for some parts... but hell with that exam! it was too hard.
Actually, it was fine not until the second part which is the moving exam wherein you have to look at the organism using the microscope. Ok, less hassle for us since the microscopes were all set-upped and all we have to do was to peek through. But to my astonishment (so to say, to "OUR" astonishment) , the organisms totally looked different! As in! You wouldn't recognize some, so the result was i wasn't sure of my answers to the side questions to it. And another thing, it's weird but almost 1/3 of my answers are Enterobius vermicularis! I don't know if they did that on purpose to test our consistency.
Oh well... let's jsut wait for the friggin' result. For now, i have to study for Microbio's Lecture Exam tomorrow. Hell with exams! People power is the answer... hahaha... right Carisse?!

I've got a new skin for my blog, isn't it wonderful?!
After thinking of deleting my blog or not, deleting or not... I've come across this blog skin at blogskins.com . It's as if it was calling me, telling me not to delete this blog and continue on posting despite of the hectic sched I now have. Weird as it could be but it really did. Well, maybe my mind is just out of it's proper functioning after reviewing tons of parasites with medical importance. Actually, I'm not yet done making my reviewer for Tuesday's Microbio Lab Exam... I'm just on the way to 1/3 of it and it's making me mad. Mad in the sense of studying for crazy hours but it's alright because i love the subject! Luckily, I don't have to study for NCM100 that long or I'll die! I don't want my epitaph saying "Here lies a nursing student who died from boredom." That will sure suck!
Here's what i like most in the stuffs that we're studying about. Look at them so close togeher, how sweet!

male and female Schistosoma mansoni
Anyway, enough of that. Today is mothers' day... i think.. 'cause everybody is texting me to greet mama a happy mothers' day. So to all mothers out there, Happy Happy Mothers' Day! And I think it's not just to the female sepcie but also the males who stood as mothers. That's a tough job! and I salute you all for that. =)
P.S.
I got to get going now, still have to finish my powerpoint presentation for tomorrow's reporting.
