my Anatomy & Physiology Lab exam

well, nothing, i just had to express my joy in this post... no matter how short it may be.

Got to know my exam result to my ana lab exam taken yesterday.... I got a 96%! wohooo! Too bad though.. just 4 points and I would have aced the exam (just like I did during my midterm exam in Biostat and last year's Algebra exams! ha!! beat that!). aaw.... I should have studied, even a bit (instead of spending the weekends making "paseo", as my goddaughter calls it) then maybe I would have gotten a 100% there as well. But oh, well... 96% without absolutely any form of studying. that's somehow good I guess, for ana..

HIM

HE is but a loser
HE doesn't deserve even a part of me
HE has done nothing but cause me hurt over the time flown,
without even his conscious knowing
yet WHY do I still feel this way
WHY do I still care
WHY am I still being demented
WHY do I still love
WHY do I stil find myself longing for him
WHY do I still keep thinking about what could have been
when what could have been is much better than what couldn't have been at all
WHY do I still keep hoping
HOPING that someday he'd realize
HOPING that someday all my desired would come



*** Wrote this while I was at church, supposedly listening to some boring seminar. Well, at least I got myself pre-occupied for, like, 5 minutes?! It was this 4th Grand Cenacle thing-y and I had to stay there from the 1pm mass all the way till the usual 6pm anticipated mass.

Anxiety

Okay, so I was supposed to be happy for yesterday... WE were all happy that we made it through the CPR (even went as far as congratulating ourselves) but I guess we celebrated too soon...

Received news this morning that A LOT OF US FAILED. yes, bummer. If the passing rate was 75%, about 10-15 people failed... BUT... if the passing was 81 (which is our normal passing rate), HALF THE CLASS FAILED!

oh man...

I mean, technically, I shouldn't be scared. I'm realy one of those people who can be considered as impossible-to-fail. It's impossible for me to fail, literally. Classmates (and CIs as well) were shocked to know that even I myself felt scared for the CPR. They knew I could get by it without any problems. But even so, I can't underestimate the fact that the class got THAT LOW a result. There's still that small possibility. I may be one of those on the borderline. I'm scared. quite scared.

Although, there's nothing much to fear, I know. The CPR is just the first of a four-part screening program. There'll soon be the APSA-ANP to face, as well as the Battery Exam. Apart from those two coming exams, our grades will also be part of those that will help us in getting into the next level. All I need to do right now is bank up on my grades and await the coming exams (not to mention final exams next week as well). And, in a way, I am excited and looking forward to those exams (as I do love having exams...hehe. I know, weird.)

I'm ALIVE!

Never thought breathing felt this good.

It's our CPR (Comprehensive Panel Revalida) today. I was number 5 (got to know last week, we got to pick numbers from the container). Yeah, sure, I wanted to be either # 5 or 6 (so I was pretty darn lucky!) but I preferred 6 more (as it's my fave number)... unfortunately, Jvix didn't want to switch with me, waaah! so mean! hehe. So, today came... only the first 10 could stay in the 3rd floor, all the rest had to wait in the caf.

Listed here are the top 6 ( like you'd even know them haha!). I usually focus on the person right before and after me but today I tried to take note of all those before me as well, so these are the only ones whose order I'm sure of:
  1. Joan C.
  2. Rox U.
  3. Mira P.
  4. Gilbert D.
  5. Femi E.
  6. Jvix G.

I was scared alright, but you can't really call it nervousness... I was still somehow carefree. But the moment Gilbert went out, OKAY. I started going stiff. literally. and the CIs had to make me wait out (more torture!). By the time was called in, I didn't know how to act... should I wait for some signal or should I just go ahead and start introducing myself already (esp. since one of my panelists wasn't there yet). Luckily, Ms. Sue (my CI and also the other one of my panelists) had entered the room and now told me to introduce myself, so I did. Sir Nathan told me to pick my topic from the rolls of paper in the container, after which, he told me to read it to them. As I unrolled the piece of paper I got, I was relieved. I got topic number 9! That was Assessment of the Skin, Nails, Hair, Ears, Neck; BP by palpation; obtaining BP! Those topics I loved! BP! The hard thing though was that it was so hard to palpate the patient's pulse. It was thready.

I was still pretty nervous inside the NSk but the moment I got out, oh you should have seen me. I was in a state of euphoria. It probably showed on my face since people noticed a big huge grin plastered on my face and they were asking me how it went! Oh, it felt so good to have it over and done with. And luckily as well, the moment I got out, I spotted my best buds there and got to get a hug from Carisse as I released all the tension that built up within me over those few minutes.
