It feels just like I'm falling for the first time

What a week it's been. Every day seemed so long. It's amazing how there's so much to be done this semester, for only three subjects. Last sem's 16 units was heaven compared to my nine now.

It feels good though, looking back on everything now. 135 exam on Wednesday, 135 paper, Chem 31.1 postlab and prelab on Thursday, and St, Luke's essays today. I didn't get more than four hours of sleep on any night. It was a week of coffee, Extra Joss that is becoming less and less effective, naps at Lola's when I could, and entire days feeling like I would drift off at any moment.

These past two days were also particularly memorable, for they included glimpses of my possible futures. Yesterday after Chem, Lee-Ann and I went to UERM to submit our applications, where I found out I was applicant no. 696. So many people applying to med school this year, a lot of them from UP too. I saw an entire table stacked with applications, each with the familiar pink transcript.

In the middle of 135 this morning, I received a text that rendered me unable to listen to Ma'am Mendoza's lecture for the rest of the period. Hehe. Thank you, Jo. :)

Then this afternoon, I was off to St. Luke's. The building's already quite familiar. Hehe. They gave me a choice of a Monday or a Friday for my interview. I chose the Monday, because Friday will most likely be the date of another one of the eight experiments we're required to conduct for 135. I can't imagine missing an experiment. Last na eh. I really want to make the most of my remaining time in psych.

There. My applications have been sent. Two of three interviews have been scheduled. The reality of it all grips me.

SLCM: 09 February, Monday, 10 AM.
UPCM: 20 February, Friday, 10 AM. Why oh why was I placed on the last day?? Interviews are until the 27th pala. So I'm not the last. Yay.

O, that You would bless me indeed.

I'm off. Waking up at 4:00 for my last ever free clinic as a member of the UP Pre-Medical Honor Society!
