I realized that I haven't had a Sunday for the past 6 or so months where I wasn't sleep deprived. I always end up cramming at the last moment ._. In a way I do survive in that I do get to pass my exams. The problem is - it's not healthy. It might be already have been causing repercussions on my body as of late. I don't feel energetic and I'm chronically exhausted. I feel like a 20 year old in a 30 year old man's body. My joints are aching, I fall asleep while sitting down.. basta, those things you associate with your grandparents. I know I need to learn how to manage my time better but as of now it is just not happening.
The exams are killers now. I have been studying much harder this year compared to last year, but man - I'm actually getting lower marks. It is murder I tell you. Anyway, I do love the profession I'm in. It just takes a lot away from you. I guess in every decision we take, we also have to endure some sort of consequence even if the motive was noble. The consequences that is attached to it makes it even more noble because I know I'd even endure those just to be able to live out my dream.
I haven't have had the opportunity to go out for lunch with anyone except for Tim for like the past 2-3 months. Even when the opportunity persists, circumstances seem to just play a role in just not making it happen. I guess it's hard being a med student, that you really have to pick your spots in finding free time. And having friends who are working already you really are in disconnect when it comes to scheduling. I miss summer in a way because parang feeling mo you're always with people you want to be with.
I really got annoyed at Ian once for telling me that his business is more important that my schooling. I kind of took offense to that. Though I've been thinking about it. You know what Ian, neither of what we do is more important than the other. If your basis is money, are you saying that a janitor's job is less important than an executive? I think it's just as important. I think it's a matter of what has been given. As a student of medicine it is my responsibility to my patients that I study well today. I think it applies to you also. As a business owner, you owe it to your customers and employees that you study well so you know the best ways to manage your business. Yes we learn more being in the field, but never ever downplay the importance of education. Even your parents see that, that's why they're willing to pay a lot of money (or look for ways) to be able to have you study in a prestigious school. Holding on to big money doesn't mean you can downplay the importance of what others are doing.
Crushes. I was talking to a classmate the other day and he asked me about Ariel (he probably saw in FB that we are mutual friends). I was like "Ariel?" but then I realized he was talking about Saki's little sister. He saw her during his physical therapy sessions at Moro I think and he has been asking me why I know her. He said he thinks she's very pretty. I just told him that I'm good friends with her brother and yun lang. In my mind I haven't given it much though because whenever I see Ariel, I kinda see Saki. I mean it's like Ariel = Saki wearing girl's outfit (guhh ugly imagery sorry that's just wrong XD). Pero I guess to be fair Ariel is pretty naman talaga (it's just hard to say that because I'd be saying Saki's pretty too hahahahahaha). So wala lang, it's funny in a way because 1) The world is really small and 2) it is so random.
