The 1st sem this school year went pretty fast. Though it did not went on by without the hardships, disappointments and many sleepless nights, this semester marked my life like a pockmark of smallpox - that is, permanent.
Subjects were pretty harsh, especially Microbiology and Parasitology. The heck with the worms!! Hahaha. Hard as the subjects were, I enjoyed them all (I can't say the same for Computer. Hehehe). Even though I got only 2.25 in Nursing-101, I enjoyed it, especially Community Health Nursing (though I know for a fact that it was the reason I got 2.25 for N-101). I still think Maam Famorca rocks!
Sad to say, I am no longer in the Dean's List. So what? Who cares? Even my mom doesn't care about it, and so do I. Enough said. End of discussion.
Hospital duties started this sem. I like to think a new "me-perspective" also started this sem. These duties made me think differently than I used before. I can say that I am more mature now. The more people I face, the deeper I see life. I think this is what makes Nursing unique. Nurses do not just treat the etiology of a disease, rather they take the sick person as a whole, along with his/her soul.
Like what I have said, I do have new set of classmates this sem and I'm stuck on them until college graduation, unless I change my surname. Anyway, I kind of enjoying them (all but one) already as days passed, as I began to know them. And now, I have new set of friends who, for reasons I do not fully understand, already becomes a part of me.
It remains a puzzle to me how in the world can people meet and become close as any one can in just a matter of more or less five months?
Every time I ask one particular friend of mine, which I become the closest, why and how we become friends, and in that case, close friends, neither of us could give an answer. It's like a mushroom that appeared out of nowhere. However, I just wish that unlike the mushroom, our friendship would last, if not forever, at least for this lifetime.
To end this, I would like to quote a message sent to me via SMS:
"It doesn't matter how many people are walking with you along the way of life. What matter is the people who are still with you at the end of the way".
