Officially over

my summer classes is officially over! physical assessment (checK!). pharmacology requirements (check!) final quizzes and exams (check!).

don’t really know how to start this entry coz there’s just too much to say but limited words to describe each. Finally, all the sleepless nights and tiring days paid off! and I am somehow, officially a third year nursing student. In months time I would be wearing my blue uniform for hospital duty and my scrub suit (how great is that?!) Getting where I am right now is not like taking a candy from a baby, oh no! it was like trying to squeeze in a needle hole while carrying loads of work at the same time trying to keep my sanity. In the middle of my battle against Medical nutrition, Fundamentals of Nursing and the dreaded Pharmacology I almost lost it. If it wasn’t for the people around me supporting and telling me not to quit until I’ve tried, maybe by now I’m locked up in a white and foamy room, a mental sanitarium as I might say. While cramming and living the path I chose to take, the motto “no pain no gain” was clinging on my shoulders like a little crabs pinching and reminding me that I still have a “LOT” to do before I take a rest.

As days passed and life got tougher, I noticed that there were people who have been with me for quite sometime but I haven’t realized their importance in my life till I was all torn into pieces and they were there to fix me. I found new friends, and REAL ONES, those who I thought would be the least part of my circle were actually the ones building it for me. We shared laughters and pains, got stuck into requirements for a time and had our shadow complaints on the people whom we thought were getting our brain cells killed. Of course if there were people who kept me sane, there were those that made us suffer, or so I thought. I’m talking bout those people who push you to your limits until you start to hate them thinking all they do is to make you suffer and suffer, then in the end you realize that they were just trying to make you strong and tough coz they care for you too much that they don’t want you empty handed when they put you to the real world. I know you know who I’m talkin bout.

After getting my finger pricked by a syringe and bleed a lot, crying for failing a quiz in medication calculation and loosing weight ( the only side effect I liked), at last! it’s over, my summer dilemma. After two weeks I will be walking the same path again, but for now I’ll be taking a break,heal my wounds and prep up for the next bump that’ll come my way.

Thank God I made it through.
