DEPRESSION

Every now and then I just need to get away from it all. Sadly, I don’t have any car to pull that off. And the nearest “entertainment” place is Robinson’s, Imus (or SM Bacoor) which is a far cry from what I’m used to in Manila. It’s not that it’s a bad place… hardly… it’s just that, it’s not, er, amusing enough. I wish I had a car that way I would be able to go to any place I want to. With Daang Hari being just around the corner and making an hour’s ride only half an hour’s ride… that would be great.

And sometimes the daily routine I have gets to me. I wake up every day… I get up… I put on my uniform… and head off to school… and spend the entire morning sitting down and listening to some professor impart more knowledge than my brain can possibly handle. Then break comes, I go back to the dorm, have some lunch, then head back to school for an afternoon of the same ilk, except of a different subject. Isn’t it any wonder that everybody gets what I like to call the ‘student slump’ often? In addition to medicine being so damn hard, it’s a hassle to have to deal with emotional roller coasters as well. But isn’t that life?
