back to the grind

after three weeks of heaven, i wake up one morning and realize it's time to go back to manila, back to grumpy consultants, and back to disease and death.

the schedule for the present sem was given last week, but most of us did not bother to examine it until only this morning. the up college of medicine has never been known for going easy on its students. they gave us two-hour lectureS and preceptorials (meaning wards, demonstrations, return-demonstrations and discussions). with our minds still fuzzy from lack of use, we were force-fed with an endless sea of med-related information.

it is now november 7 - more than 24 hours after my vacation. it took me this long to realize that i had just said "goodbye" to my last semestral break.

i want to go home.


verse for the day:
but seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. each day has enough trouble of its own. [matthew 6:33-34]
