Stumbling blocks
I find it funny and amazing that the school years that I belong in the top ten of the batch are the ones where I have a failing grade in one shifting.
In our first year of medical school, I failed in Histology in the first shifting and my grades in the subsequent shiftings never reached 80. I worried that I might fail that subject completely but fortunately I managed to get a 2.75 even if I still don’t get what the pink and purple blobs mean. I even managed to be in the Top 10 then since I had good marks in the major subjects but I’m worried that I’ve forgotten these basic knowledge but hopefully, there will be some stock knowledge that I can use for the clerks’ comprehensive exam this January.
This third year of medical school, I failed Medicine 2 during the first shifting. I worried more since this was a major subject and that it was a difficult one (more than half of our batch failed in at least one shifting with this subject). Thankfully, the subsequent exams were not as difficult or maybe our batch got around how our professors asked their exam questions and adjusted accordingly. I heard I was in the Top 10 prior to clerkship but I wasn’t sure if it was true since I had average marks on some subjects. The news was verified once clerkship started and made me realize that despite the stumbling blocks, we should continue to aim higher. This also makes me want to study harder since there would be higher expectations. Gaaah.
“Find meaning. Distinguish melancholy from sadness. Go out for a walk. It doesn’t have to be a romantic walk in the park, spring at its most spectacular moment, flowers and smells and outstanding poetical imagery smoothly transferring you into another world. It doesn’t have to be a walk during which you’ll have multiple life epiphanies and discover meanings no other brain ever managed to encounter. Do not be afraid of spending quality time by yourself. Find meaning or don’t find meaning but “steal” some time and give it freely and exclusively to your own self. Opt for privacy and solitude. That doesn’t make you antisocial or cause you to reject the rest of the world. But you need to breathe. And you need to be.”
—Albert Camus, from “Notebooks, 1951-1959” (via mirroir)

I am still not over the fact that they are making this compulsory. I want to fight this until time’s up since I don’t want to be stuck in a miserable place.

Very glad to have won this. :)
Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.
