Like I said a few entries ago, I probably won't be writing anything new in a few months since I have just entered the sacred realm of 2nd year medical school which is known to be one heckuva of toxic ride.

I knew 2nd year would be hard, but I never knew it would be THIS hard.

We have around 2-3 exams per week + various other requirements (plates to do, lab exercises to complete, do research experiments which could last until the wee hours of the morning). It has come to a point where I don't care what kind of grade I get anymore, as long as I miraculously pass.

Can I also say that my study habits have become horribly, horribly bad. Wala nang second reading-cum-memorizing. Speed reading na lang 30 minutes before the exam, which means reliability on short-term memory is extremely high.

After the exam of course, ask me again, like, "Para saan nga ba ulit yung niclosamide?", I'll give you a blank stare and reply, "Alam kong lumabas yan sa exam eh, pero..." Is this the way to learn? Pano na ko magiging doktor nito?

Anyway.

Two weeks ago was extremely horrid.

Something EXCITING happened everyday at school. Please note sarcasm.

Monday, Psych preceptorials and Patho lab exam. Tuesday, Physio exam. Wednesday, Micro presentation and paper. Thursday, Para lab exam. Friday, Pharma presentation.

A psych paper required us to reflect on what personality disorder we could possibly have, I we do have one, based on our knowledge of ourselves .

I therefore concluded that I belong to Cluster C: anxious and fearful, more specifically, avoidant with traces of obsessive-compulsive and dependent PDs.

To those who know me well, I guess you finally found an explanation to why I'm hard to figure out.

Memorable song now playing. By Paul McCrane.

Bakit memorable? Kasi, kapag pinapatugtog to, may naalala ako.

Figure that one out for yourself.

We've arranged for a FTHAB party sa Windermere. Again, figure that one out for yourself.

To those who care, Sidedish died of an infection last week.

I get myself a new hamster courtesy of hamster breeder S***, and I've named her... Chip's Ahoy. First thing that came to mind.

I'm supposed to be studying for neurosciences right now. 2 trans pa lang tapos ko.

Procrastination at its finest.

People, take the "...Romantic Bowl..." entry at face value. Wag nang magimagine.

If you knew me in highschool and college, you'll figure it out.

I should be getting back to studying.

If there's one thing a hellish sem is good for, it is getting to ask for parental favors with a higher approval rate.

I hope this theory is correct.
