I'm Alive!

I feel that way, sometimes. Since I'm so out of touch with the rest of the world that I feel the need to assert that, hey, I'm still here. I'm feel like I'm so busy that 'rest' time is never without guilt that when I do sneak away from schoolwork, I feel like I've been freed from my cage.

At least, now, the stress level is less. Either because I've learned to cope or because I just procastinate like mad. Hahaha Like right now, I'm doing my integration report in another window. Multi-tasking. The mark of a doctor bwahaha

School has become interesting - if a bit demanding (a bit??!). We're learning prescription writing in pharma and that's always enjoyable. Because (1) I get to make up names and use whoever's name I want to, (2) it makes me feel so MD-like since we're also taught and trained to sign our name with an "MD" tacked on, and (3) well, it just really makes me feel like a doctor. We even have to put a fake License number and PTR number and, if prescribing a dangerous drug, we add the S2 number. Prescribing dangerous drugs makes me feel so powerful LOL if a bit dangerous too. There are apparently drugs that you can't prescribe exceeding a certain number. Like morphine, the person can't get more than 10 drugs and the prescription expires in 5 days. As I told my classmate, "edi bumili ka nalang araw-araw" for those who are drug users. But I guess pharmacists put a mark or something so that the person can't do exactly that.

Whoa... just checked my integ... ang haba pala ng isang question. Puro pharma drugs pa... which is a part of pharma that I don't exactly enjoy... which is really stupid coz it's pharmacology, right? The study of drugs? Nakakahilo lang kasi yung mga names. And what they do. And then later we'll learn how much to prescribe too and, since my math skills have long deserted me, that's not exactly something I'm looking forward to either.

Still, there's hope. There's enjoyment, even some. Sure, it's a lot of sacrifices and just forget about sleep and free time... but still, it's all very interesting (if a bit too much, sometimes). I mean, all this just takes me closer to being a doctor, something that I chose, so I can't really complain, right?

Anyway, must be off. Gonna get my groupmate's integ portion from an email and compile everything for tomorrow. Oh, and right, have to answer also the questions assigned to me.
