BS Nursing, Double Major in Socio and Lit
Dapat naniwala na ako earlier this week when Sr. Vinoya enacted Dr. Hibek's "I will tear them to pieces," referring to the monthly long exams.
He made us write the lyrics of the university hymn, for ten points. Katayin na ang nakakuha nun. Now, highest score isn't to go above ninety. And just look at his odd-man-out choices: (a) Thumbelina, (b) The Ugly Duckling, (c) The Little Mermaid, (d) Cinderella. How is anyone to know that the answer is Cinderella, because it wasn't written by Andersen? And this other one: (a) Isaiah, (b) Jeremiah, (c) Timothy, (d) Jonah. To think there were only less than five questions concerning the three selections we have discussed, and everything else is general literature. Things we didn't touch. (We don't know those "general" things. Not odd. We're not Lit majors.) The number of books in the Old Testament. Acclaimed stories of the Ifugaos and Bagobos. At hindi 'yan Scantron, mind you. Manual: Identification. Fill in the blanks.
And, The Divine Penguin, as fondly referred by Dr. Hibek. Talagang she went inside the hall where everyone she handled was taking the test, just to smile and just to have herself heard through the groans. "This is to test your critical thinking." Anong critical thinking ang pinagsasasabi mo, 'pag feedback na, everyone's to realize subjective talaga ang sagot. I don't want to see my paper. Nooo.
What else. Hmm. Few items blog-worthy:
It's not that I'm yet again complaining that this world isn't for me. No, it's far from it. I just realize even more that I need this career track to make me a well-rounded person, aside from experiencing the perks of being knowledgeable in health care. My mother was right. This is for the best.

- OTG's second anniversary which we celebrated on the afternoon of the 19th, kaso bitin 'cause it's in the middle of exam week, so depressing pa rin.
- Raffy tried to drink the macho way (quite how bottled water ads make their models drink) from my bottle -- not because he was feeling macho but because I wouldn't want to catch his colds. He said something like, "May technique ako diyan!" Ang ganda nga ng technique mo. He ended up spilling the contents on his polo shirt, at buti kung uwian na noon, hindi eh. Sarap maligo?
- May mababait pa palang jeepney drivers sa Pilipinas. Nakakatuwa lang isipin. HAHAHA. There's hope left for the world o wala na talaga akong masabi? XD
