chasing time

whew! it's really hard to chase time and it seems my running isn't fast enough.

in a week, i regularly battle 4 unit exams (called platings- it was 'shifting' when i wus in 1st year. don't know why they call it as such). my schedule is patho on mondays, micro on tuesdays and wednesdays(they give four lectures a week so two that gives two units and yeah, two platings), and pharma every friday. and that's every week, with no fail, of my 1st sem life. plus i have quizzes for every subjects. some even give before and after the lecture (and i get pissed off because its 'define the following' and it has to be by the book. in short the only way to pass is to memorize- just what i hate most).

next week, i'll have five unit exams. omni die. that means a whole week without lunch (unit exams are given at 12 noon so as not to affect the time alloted for lectures). MAN!

i saw my plating grade for patho yesterday. got flunked :( but it's really not so low. pero kahit na, it's still an indication that i need to catch up on that subject. it seems i've been giving most of my effort on pharma so i tend to cram on the others. well pharma's really something to give special attention to. it seems that subject was designed for the students to fail it. they don't even discard the lowest plating that a student got in a semester (like microbio and patho).

something that worries me is my attitude during fridays.it's our last subject and it's after our plating on pharma. yesterday, we had a video quiz and i flunked, a usual quiz for the week's topic, which i flunked again, and a drawing quiz, which i pray i didn't flunk.

i wus then answering the second quiz when my mind got blank. it seems it's refusing my orders to think and answer the questions. i didn't even remember what the instruction was for the last part. the paper is almost blank when i passed it. siguro, i'll also study patho lab on weekends. and i hope what happened yesterday won't happen again.

1st prelims is only a week from now and i'm stuck here in front of the computer doing our transparency. our group will give an orientation regarding our pharma experiment on monday. damn, i still have to type our thesis proposals. got to run!

just remember, i miss seeing my knight every friday. something that i don't anymore have the luxury of doing... just hang on there. two more weeks. :)
