SCIENCE in my time and Med experience at present

·         I used to sleep with my uniform on, during bad times and stressful weeks when everything’s piled up.  It comes with a shot of Sting (lime) or Coffee! We used to have a handful of paper works in Psych, and I have a poor skill in time management. Honestly speaking, I still do this in Med huhuhu

·         Scantron’s red and slim. In Med, it’s green and wide.

·         Back then, I thought that “sleeping is a gift.” Now, “sleeping is a luxury.”

·         I don’t sleep in class before! Grabe =)) but now, I sleep in class 40% of the time =))

·         We had irregular breaks before! We had a lot of time to explore the 4 corners of UST to find a decent place to eat and possibly kill time, before the next class. Now, I cut classes in the morning to eat breakfast. Some days, our long tests are scheduled during our 1 hour lunch break! We had to manage our time to cram, take the test, and eat. We have no choice but to just buy food at the Med Cafe. In busy days, we eat standing; in bad days, we eat walking; in worse days, we skip eating.

·         Like what I said, we had a handful of paper works in Psych. I used to stay in, while my roomies were out to party. In med, it’s either I sleep or I party after shifting exams =))

·         We had frequent group meetings for projects before. Now, we do group works with no meeting at all =))

·         We were forced to go to the library before, to study journals, thesis and shit. Now, the library is considered one of the most conducive places for...sleeping and cutting classes to study for another =))

·         We had this college stereotype: when you’re in a pre-med course, you’re a nerd. When you’re in Med...you’re that fuckin’ cool fuckin’ hot fuckin’ rich fuckin’ intelligent kind of nerd.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the following:

·         Ma’am Beth for always checking our rooms in Science every day. I was constantly seated at the back, so I was one of those who had the opportunity to smile at Ma’am Beth every day hehe

·         Ate xeROXANNE, who is really named ate Cecille =)) Thank you for helping me rush my UST-FMS application requirements. If it wasn’t for your amazing photocopying skills...I’m not in UST Med now =)) I’ll be forever grateful!

·         UST RED CROSS Science unit, for assisting me when I collapsed on the 3^rd floor due to severe hypogastric pain. And to the Science CCTV, for covering the whole moment of shame =)) of course, Doc Edgie and the student council peeps who helped me.

·         UST Health service, thank you for being a health service.

·         Main bldg. elevator, for giving us a free ride after 7pm classes.

·         Science guidance, my crib!!! thank you for the learning experience and friendship =)) best internship everrrrrr

·         last but certainly not the least, 4^TH FLOOR LAB OPEN SANDWICH. MUCH LOVE.
