It's been a SEMESTER since I started my journey towards greatness. Hehe. And I'm very much happy with the fact that I learned a lot, not just about Science, but about myself.

For one, I realized that failure isn't enough to make me sad, or even frown. I failed countless of shifting and departmental exams, even quizzes and shifting grades (No exaggerations there. Hehe.), but I never sulked over it. Maybe because I know it's practically all my fault, and maybe also because I know I can do better.

I also discovered that MED IS NOT THAT HARD. It's toxically busy and hard but not "that" hard; totally contradicting my first impression. I believe you just got to have the following:

• Prayerfulness.
• Samplex.
  
• Determination.
• Intelligence
  
• Faith in God and in yourself.
• Friends who'll keep you sane and keep you away from your books.

Med isn't all about studying. It's more about being entertained with what you're learning. Because if you're entertained with what you learn, you'll seek to learn more, and that is what will make studying as easy as A-B-C. I want to study because I enjoy learning. Why learn all about it if you don't enjoy it, right?

BOTTOMLINE: Failures of the first two shifts isn't enough to make me want to quit my dream. And, despite the toxicity of Med school, I still look forward to wear that freaking white coat with my name on it.
