I Can’t Think of a Reason to Continue My Course, But I Have a Thousand to Stop

And once again, I made history. Due to my inexplainable stupidity, the return demonstration of the physical assessment was re-planned to focus on the upper torso first. The remaining parts shall be demonstrated next week. And I suppose I am the one (not again) to be blamed.

I am not complaining. Mahaba nga naman talaga siya. Maraming dapat i-assess at yung mga normal characteristics of all body regions. Tinamad lang talaga ako siguro. O poor time management.

I was only able to master the cognitive part and the general survey, had a little knowledge on assessing the head and face and for the rest of the body areas, I had no idea.

And I had proven that I can be the worst source of disappointment to my parents and my CI. How embarassing. I just know I messed the whole thing up.

So practically, it took me about twenty minutes to demonstrate. (Bilis no?) That was because I stopped after finishing assessing my partner’s head and face. My CI encouraged me to continue despite my lack of review. But I declined. I didn’t want to waste her time waiting for me to blab out things I cannot even say.

I guess she got mad and called for a meeting among the other CIs and discussed the matter up. I was hoping they were going to let us demonstrate until the face only (para naman matapos lahat that day, sayang naman yung pamasahe) but no. I have to continue until the thorax.

Foolishly, I demonstrated the different tests to be done for the eye (in a very illogical manner, imagine, I tested the visual acuity at the last part! how bloody stupid!).

Now I understand the importance of reviewing. Actually I met the same fate during the compre exam. Tsk. I’m really a campus idiot after all.

Misteryo sa GS Lab

Katatapos lang ng RLE ko at hanggang ngayon ay nagtataka pa rin ako sa mga narinig ko kanina. May multo daw.

Pero hindi tungkol dun ang gusto ko’ng ikwento. Nagsawa na ako. At natakot na rin. Hehe.

Natapos na ang napakahabang lecture ng physical assessment. Pero hindi pa rin yun ang point ko. (Wala nga ako’ng point actually.. as in.. wala lang.) Naglecture kanina itong si CI no.1. Marami siyang diniscuss. Nireview din niya kami. Nakakatuwa naman.

Pero pagkatapos niya ay sumunod si CI no.2. At nawindang ako sa estilo niya. Aside from the fact (aba, english yun a… burger) na kamukha niya yung dating klasmeyt ko, may pagka-kinky pala itong si CI no.2. Oo na’t nursing studs kami pero hindi naman yata tama na dahil lang sa nursing studs kami ay gagamitin na ang rason ng aming pagiging nursing studs para lamang mag-discuss ng s*x.

Vaginal speculum. Mons pubis. Ang mga ito ay katanggap-tanggap. Pero ewan ko lang kung pinersonal na ang mga bagay-bagay. Hindi ba?

Mga Kamalasan Ngayong Pasukan

I guess no one has a worse “first-day-of-school-drama” than me. Isipin mo naman. I got three teachers na nang-indyan, isang nagmagaling at nagkandabulol-bulol (oh come on, that is not importent! hahaha), isang nosebleed, isang wirdo na parang retokada, at tatlong epal na bading! At sunod-sunod pa!

Who would have thought that, after all these days of suffering from the (mis)conception regarding the sections, they will give me the most probably peculiarset of teachers?

I don’t want to be judgemental, but I have to. This day is a total joke! Teacher ang nagtatanong kung may pasok bukas, may nagpaka-authoritarian na nagpost ng kanyang “house rules” kahit wala namang ganun sa student handbook (what the–?), may mga nagmagaling at may nagbigay ng pagkadami-daming assignment, mayroon namang  nagpatawa kahit alam ko’ng hindi niya alam kung bakit at dapat ba.

Napakamalas talaga ng seatmate ko kanina. Akalain mo, lahat ay napaka-ingay at parang mauubusan ng sasabihin tas kami sa likod e ang tahimik. Tapos pumasok itong teacher. Nagsitahimik sila. Mga tao talaga. Ito naman kasing seatmate ko, saka lang nagsalita na’ng nagsasalita itong teacher. Napansin ng teacher na itong si seatmate ay madaldal sa likod (although hindi naman malakas yung boses) kaya tumigil siya at tinitigan itong si seatmate. Itong mga daldalera naman kanina, nagsitinginan sa kanya with a “That-is-what-noisy-people-get-when-speaking-out-of-turn-and-luckily-I-wasn’t-like-you” look. Alam mo yun? Para’ng ang tahimik nila?

Natatawa ako sa lahat ng nangyari ngayong araw na ‘to. Yung isang seatmate ko, hindi ko alam kung straight o ano, natuwa ba naman nung nalaman na isang bading ang teacher namin? Nawindang talaga ako. Ewan ko. May topak na ata talaga mga tao ngayon. Pati ako. Natopak at nagsulat dito.

Natatawa ako. Haha. Ha. International University. Campus Connect. Magaganda ang mga concept actually. Magaling ang Lorma. Sa marketing.

Academic Community Computerized Enrollment System Solutions

Being the Center of Development for Excellence in IT Education, Lorma stands up to be the most advanced in technology among tertiary schools in the region. One proof of this advancement is the development of the ACCESS (refer to title please) which allows students to view their grades, schedule, classmates and other academic whatsoever–online.

But to my deepest dismay (and sudden GI upset while typing this), I never imagined that a computerized enrolment can be that slow and bothersome. The process of enrolment is ideally simple. You just need to get yourself enlisted and “registered” as a bonafide student of the school, right? And one responsibility is paying your tuition and miscellaneous fees. Let me recall to you how it all happened.

I went to school about 10:00. I assumed that the enrolment will be fast, basing from what ACCESS means. The first step was to get my grades. I wrote my name in a paper and a teacher handed down my grades. Other students surrounding me were exclaiming, “Oh my God! Ang baba ng grades ko!” I don’t have time to look at my grades (actually, I don’t really care). The result of the comprehensive exam last semester still haunts me up to this day. Add the left-handed compliments I’ve been receiving from my editor and I instantly forgot happiness. Ngarr..

After getting my grades, I went to room 005 for the “form.” I don’t know what it’s called .. pero basta kind of form. And to my (un)surprise, nobody was there.  “Nice”, I thought. Luckily there were “humans” inside the adjacent room so I asked where can I get one [form]. I was instructed to look for our adviser. My instincts told me to go to the faculty room, hoping she might be there. As I was walking, I wondered where my classmates had gone to. It seemed like I was the only one who haven’t enrolled yet. So I felt nervous and ran my way through the annoying crowd in the admin building. And there they are.

My classmates had cleverly blocked the hallway all through the door of the faculty room. So it seemed that  I was not the only one who was late. While waiting, I stood by the cashier’s window while the wall fan roared with its might to provide the cozy room a precious blow of “air”. I was thinking about my school’s universityhood.Ooopps! I mean, international universityhood. Or so was it proposed to be. And all of a sudden, there was a brown-out. And everyone on the hall uttered “OOOOOOOOOOO”. Then after a few minutes, the lights went up again. And as the fan started to blow, brown-out. And then in. And then out. And then it was my turn to get my form. And while one teacher is validating the grades using the ACCESS account, to my suprise, she uttered the F word! Lol. Christian values, my ass.

So after the form, I went to the mad crowd behind the NLRC. LNRC. watever. The line was utterly long. Well as my two clear eyes saw, the line was “broken”. Naturally, I attempted to go where the line was terminated but then an ugly-looking homo yelled, “Bawal singit” Okay, so the line was not broken after all. I waited for about one hour and fifteen minutes before I had my turn. There were still about fifty students behind me when I realized that there is scarcely fifteen minutes before the “people” will go out for their lunch break. And one of them said, “Last fifteen minutes!” The level head was muttering “Next time pumunta kasi kayo nang maaga. Eight nandito na dapat kayo.” And my classmate spurred, “Ma’am 6 nandito na ako pero close pa itong NLRC.” Ang lupet!

I had only ten minutes to pay for my fees so I hurried to the gym for the final three steps. Get the assessment form, pay, and then get the classcards. I did not mind about the ID. I can still get it next week.

Geez! I have to report on Monday and my very first subject is RLE! What a mess. My schedule turned out to be even more toxic! Though I don’t have a four-unit subject this sem, I have eleven subjects to think about. Only three of these are nursing subjects and so I will be hearing statements again like, “Wag nyong minaminor ang mga minors nyo”.

Whew. So by saturday I have to go to Luna with my siblings. They will be having their semestral break with our grandmother. Lucky for them. They are going to sleep in my room again. I, on the other hand, have to go back to the city on monday and will be living alone for the rest of the week. That’s good, anyway. At least the environment will be suitable enough for me to review my notes.

Welcome to blognijet.i.ph

Recently, I was enthralled by the concept of blogging. During the semestral break, I was so bored and felt so futile. And so I decided to follow the trend of most people who have nothing to do with their laptops and internet connection.

I usually watch television or read some books whenever I have nothing else to do which is productive. But because the television is now swarmed with corny and nonsense programs which are, if not about fairies and mermaids is about ancient family feuds or cheap remakes of already established foreign shows. I cannot imagine how “uncreative” those people in the TV networks are.

 Further, I lost the enthusiasm for reading books so I switched to another hobby. Please drop in some comments. Thanks. You may visit my friendster account to know more about me.
