Jordin Sparks - This Is My Now

 

 Done with being a student in the sense that I don’t have to pay for any more school fees. On the other hand, striving to learn doesn’t or should I say shouldn’t end there. Time flies so fast, and I believe I have said this in one of my entries, and I believe I will keep on saying this in awe of the fast paced life. I can still vividly remember how trembled I was of the thought of being a freshman again, when now it is how my white blazer (with M.D. embroidered) would look like that I am so concerned of. I have always dreamt of graduation day and the feeling of relief that comes with it, but I have never imagined how sad it is to be leaving my alma mater where I’ve spent eight long years, and the people in there - my friends with whom I have shared and who has shared the burdens of medical school. As I was listening to the speeches of those people by the podium, I realized that indeed we have gone through a lot, and we were pushed to the very limit. I tapped my forever seatmate Jam over her shoulder and told her “paano ba yan friend magkakahiwalay na tayo.” I noticed she became teary eyed so I pursued to tease her “o, iiyak ka na, masisira ang Rihanna wannabe look mo.” Little did she know that I was already crying from within (well I have separation anxiety). All of us have been wanting to become a doctor, and now we’ve earned our degree. I just don’t know what to do with it, kidding. The chairman of my tribunal in oral revalida happened to be the MC. We have never ran into each other since after the orals, which is good because I don’t think I wanted to see her after messing up. I was really nervous to go up the stage not only because i don’t know which knee should be used to kneel down but also because I am forced to approach her. After shaking her hand she said "pagbutihan mo sa internship ha" then before i left the stage she continued "kiss mo naman ako". That instance made me want to cry. Oh, I will surely miss my medschool days haay…
