Actually I'm entering Week Four. So much has happened, and I am a bit sad at not having been able to document it all. Just off the top of my head--carsick/drunk car rides, adjusting to life inside a mall, finally deleting Minesweeper, getting to know my alphamates, mind-numbing scares, failing to win a steth or a laptop, sorority dine-outs, the Topshop private sale (for which I was late to class!), first scrubs day, inspiring professors, sleep-inducing professors, missing the PMHS Acquaintance Party, and love lost and found. Whew.
Weekends have never felt shorter. I pack so soon after I unpack. And I feel so disconnected from the universe! I've never appreciated the TV more. Not to mention the internet! Thank God Globe works well in Adriatico. I'm surprised to find that maintaining the household isn't so bad. We clean up after ourselves, dishes, garbage, and all. I call it the Domestication of Mindy. Haha. I still can't cook, but it's a start.
Jess is too good to me lately. I've been getting everything I want. And yet, I can't seem to stop asking for things. Jess, please let me pass my neuro exam. Jess, please take care of me as I drive home. Jess, please take care of my family while I'm gone. Jess, please let me fall asleep, I need to get up at seven. Jess, please keep me safe as I walk through Pedro Gil.
I still get shivers when I think that I am in the UP College of Medicine. I do hope that won't go away. Throughout the toxicity of med, I hope to never forget how lucky I am to be here.
Ang gaan-gaan ng feeling. :)
