first week of med life and the EX'S

Monday: OB and Pedia

usual first day, excitement and anticipation. it was nice to see old faces of my classmates that i missed all throughout summer. and new faces as well of first yr meds whom i can see the eagerness to study in their eyes. OB class was quite nice. we had lecture and a quiz. first time that i had a quiz on a first day of class. anyway it was easy though i got wrong on the computation of LMP (last menstrual cycle) coz i swear i didnt knew it was a leap year. bummer. Pedia was ayyyt (ala randy jackson).

Tuesday: Pathology and Surgery

this one i had not much fun. first thing, our prof in patho was gay. and he has this hasty generalizations that people seated at the back (which is my usual seat) are the ones who are either late or doesnt know anything. he would always call out people at the back for answers to stupid questions like "whats the topic of chapter 1 of Robbins?" for god knows i dont know! i havent lifted my book...much more look at it. in addition to the fact that he gives 200 item shifting exams is what bothers me most in passing this class. Surgery class is boring. we had the class at OM (ospital ng maynila) accademic building (which was dormitory for clerks and interns before). it was so not fit to be a classroom with all the buzzing jeeps on the lateral side and the noisy industrial fan that we have to keep us cool in the most hell place i could have had to study. i just hope i could get good grades in it.

Wednesday: Pharmacology and FCM

pharma was interesting. the faculty was interesting. they're all eccentric. i love it! i had this one prof who's hair only grows half of his head and one woman who reminds me of those people in BATIBOT that gives stories to children. FCM well...its nothing.

after fcm class i went directly to the nursing avr to host the college organization orientation. it was fun. i love being seen by people and being popular. hehehe. i had nina who co-hosted the event with me and she was terrific, she knows how to handle my jokes and make her own as well. it was fun!

Thursday: Microbiology and Parasitology

this class i like coz it had Dr. Malijan in it. i like her, she's a carbon copy of Maria Ressa the CNN correspondent for asia and the pacific. she was cool and the rest of the faculty is cool. just like as she term it, an all girl group. cool

Friday: Medicine 1 and Clinical Pathology

medicine class was also in OM. thank god its a morning class or else i want to drop it. nevertheless the lecture given to us was interesting. it was about history taking. i cant wait to go into the wards and take patient history. my stet is ready. in clinical path, we had a quiz about venipuncture. i failed in that. i got 5/10. bummer. its bcoz of that lokalokang precept, that laughs in the most inconvenient time, in the most outrageous circumstance and in a joke that she only thinks is funny. but i like her. she's eccentric.

all in all, i had 2 quizes in my first week and a lecture in all subjects which were new to me since first weeks to me are nothing but laxing, and relaxing.

THE EX'S

my 2nd ex was texting me still. wanting me to comeback. friday, when he texted me giving me a hint of suicidal tendencies on my way home. i told him id talk to him this day. i hope i could help him.

then also friday, i was at starbucks with 2 of my med friends, margx and wapi. we were chatting. i was looking at the movie list from a far when i saw my first ex (hes a first year at UP-PGH). it was terrifying. i thought i had syncope in that instance. i didnt expect to see him. may 1 of last year that i last saw him. i didnt knew what to react when i saw him. i was sipping my coffee and that gave me a reason not to smile. he actually stopped in front of me, and our eyes met. i was excited and i think he was too. nevertheless i didnt smile. he didnt either. i shifted my gaze. and on my peripheral vision i saw him talked to one of his companion to tell probably that i was his ex.

my friend told me after he left that "buti na lang enriq and gwapo mo ngayon!"

hahaha. i hope he realizes what he was missing out.
