I went to school early this morning to catch Mr. Liboon and get my grades submitted at the Registrar. Argh! My permit was with Philip Bombita so I was delayed. When everything was fine, I got to fall in line for the payment in the cashier…a very long line. Argh!

While I was waiting for my turn to pay, I was working at the TRC Office with Nang Pre. Our NewsLetter Issue is on rush. Argh! Our Moderator had a lot of correction, luckily she approved my article. Nang Pre and I had our lunch at Red Ribbon (my first time!). I ate that savory Tocino Meal and we had that "Ala Mode" for dessert. OMG! I was fully loaded!

I was able to pay at last, with the help of Erika, that was around 4 pm. Nang Pre and I were surfing the Internet in the ComLab. After surfing, Nang Pre continued to work in the office while proceeded to Rob to cool myself. There I met some old friends, actually my friends in high school. LOL. There was Mon (Maria’s chatmate?) and Jireh John. I peed but as soon as I went out of the Rest Room I lost them. Well, I went around the mall hoping to see them again. I happened to pass by Bookshoppe and bought the latest issue K-Zone. OMG! There was a free poster of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire…and  paper-made spectacles exactly like that of Harry’s.

In the alley westward, I saw Brian at last and he led me to the others in the food court. We were going to eat! There was Maricon and Karina (whom I had not seen for nearly 3 years!). We ate together and talk the recent gossips with our batchmates. Hehe. After eating, I saw Kirc eating on a table nearby. He went at me and we chat… a very long hilarious chat! Haha.

Till here. I’m going back to Candoni tomorrow. *smiley*

Woooot! Holidays last October 20-22, 2005. We had our field trip to Cebu at last! It’s worth the waiting and I’m showing off our pics…

LOVERs at San Carlos Port (still in Negros).

About to rain when we arrived at Talisay, Cebu port.

BSN III-Alpha at the Cebu Business Hotel ( a not-that-good hotel…argh!)

BSN III-Alpha at the famous Magellan’s Shrine. The cross was towering, you can only see the base. LOL.

LOVERs plus Marilyn with the cool Cebu Guitars.

*****

We got only two weeks for Sem Break. THAT WILL NEVER BE ENOUGH! Argh!

I’m on recovery from a severe illness; so severe I cannot enumerate the manifestations. All of this because of the recent semester here at Riverside College that has just ended. Nearly lifeless myself, I’m still lucky I’m alive. I’m a survivor.

I will never forget this first semester of school year 2005-2006. A lot of things happened; first experiences, unexpected events, encounters, tortures, laughters, gatherings, farewells, and sorrows. This semester changed me, from an easy-going to a serious individual, in some ways, in a lot of ways. I’m a survivor not by chance but of hard work and in this article, allow me to inspire.

I received the light of Florence Nightingale last year but it was only this semester that I felt I’m a real nurse. Appreciating nursing is indeed a matter of time and experience. So as I am nurse, let me summarize the happenings of the dreadful semester that has ended in a series of nursing diagnoses I made for myself, to my aftermath condition…

Disturbed sleeping pattern related to Night Shifts, Case Presentations, and Nursing Research. I can no longer sleep well every night. Obviously, I couldn’t sleep on night shifts (or else I would be preparing an incidental report). Night shifts were really wicked; though I loved the telling of horror tales every dawn with my RLE group mates. If the CI would be kind enough, we would be allowed to take a nap. But napping is still different to sleeping! Not to mention the preparations for the Case Presentation. I must be cautious for I was assigned on assessment (and we all know how cruel the panel when it comes to this part). We had a couple of sleepovers to sort everything, one happened to be in a pension house in Silay City. Our thesis for Nursing Research was a pandemonium. Five days before the deadline, my group had to sleep late for we changed the whole study due to its vague title. Argh!

Imbalanced nutrition: less than body requirements related to stressful work and skipping breakfast. A lot of my friends who had not seen me for a long time and saw me again this semester were saying “Von, nag slim ka” or “Von, nag-kupos ka bala.” On my first RLE rotation at Brgy. Felisa Health Center, I weighed myself and the reading was 134 lbs. At the regional hospital, my second-to-the-last rotation, I weighed myself again and the reading was 126 lbs. I lost 8 lbs.! Stressful work and my new routine of skipping breakfast were the precipitating factors. I skip breakfast (sometimes lunch) whenever I got night shifts for I would be in bed the whole morning. I also skip breakfast on weekends since my class starts at 7:30 am and I usually wake up at 7:00 am. Argh!

Anxiety related to anticipation of NCM grades. According to the majority of those who survived it, NCM 102 is the meanest of all the NCMs. Taking the subject in this dreadful semester was a great stressor. One of our teachers said that you can’t pass the subject unless your tears and nasal mucus are mixed. A hyperbole that is but I bet it happened to some who took the subject. I was always anxious of what grade I would be getting. Upon receiving that gray paper with your grade inside, before opening it, my feeling was always like jumping down a field of thorns or a river with hungry crocodiles opening their mouths. Argh!

Altered thought process related to brain overload. I have an uncle who is crazy. When I asked my father why my Tito was that, he told me that Tito got a nervous breakdown due to college pressure. Does psychosis run in the blood? Did history repeat itself? If so, it was happening to me. Eight hours of tiresome RLE on duty days and about ten hours of non-stop discussion on lecture days were driving me mad. Enough of it such as one day, when a friend of mine asked me where I was living, I replied saying, “Islets of Langerhans”. Argh!

Grieving related to death of a family member. My grandfathers from both sides of my parents got ill this semester. Lolo Elok, my mother’s father had his intestines coiled leading to bowel obstruction as evidenced by his humongous abdomen. He had to undergo a serious operation to uncoil his intestines and luckily he survived; but to suffer colostomy for the rest of his life. Lolo Dadok, my father’s father had a toxic shock due to non-compliance to dialysis. Like Pope John Paul II, he died in his sleep. Argh!

Altered family processes related to not going home for five months. I couldn’t go home on weekends since I got a class on Saturdays. Sundays would not be preferable since there would be duty on Mondays. I live in Candoni, a town 4 hours trip from Bacolod and the road is unpaved and dusty; not to mention the fare which is near 100Php. My parents found it better spending my 4 hours to malling and the 100Php for a Jollibee meal so they advised me not to go home. They visit us (my sister and I) in the boarding house at least twice a month but still, there’s no place like home. I missed my grannies and our dogs, Sandara and Joross. Argh!

Diversional activity deficit related to devotion of time to schoolwork. No time for me to watch the latest movies or read the recent novels of my favorite authors. I got no appetite of watching TV shows because I know I would be missing episodes at times. My idea of diversional activities is only those and I wasn’t able to create such great accomplishments (except for reading Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince). All because of the hectic school schedule. Argh!

Alteration in comfort: psychogenic pain related towering expenses secondary to ‘bulsitis’. Rating the pain to be 9 out of 10, I did have bulsitis (inflammation of the bulsa) this semester. Too many expenses in RLE, projects, and presentations. It’s pure alteration in comfort though I’m not experiencing the pain physically. I’m feeling the pain psychologically and with it I got insomnia, anorexia, and irritability. Argh!

***

Whew! Too much problems the semester had brought me. But I’ll try to look at the brighter side. The semester might have the worst of times in my life but I learned a lot of lessons. With the night shifts and sleepovers for projects, I developed a strong friendship with my group mates. With myself losing weight, it’s good; my father is diabetic which means I’m prone to being one so it’s risky for me being fat. With low grades, I learned not to worry much anymore; I did my best! With brain overload, I learned that it’s just a matter of balancing. With my deceased Grandpa, I learned that you cannot stop God from taking your loved one. With myself far from home, I learned to be independent (am I not going abroad someday?). With my leisure deficit, I learned that some things may be sacrificed for your dreams. With bulsitis, I learned to be thrifty.

I am but a student who is tired but wants to go on.

I went to school this afternoon to work at TRc office. I had the McDo Longganisa burger for my lunch. I’m on a formal outfit so everybody was looking at me. I wrote my article for the Sem-Ender issue…haha, it was funny. Nang Aimee was there with Nang Klaire and we were organizing our trip for Boracay. Later in the afternoon, Mrs. Flores entered the office and she told us that the trip will be canceled. The admin will not be approving our budget of 100, 000 Php plus the rush of the letters that we will be preparing. Argh! To compensate our frustration, we went to Robinsons and dined at Jollibee. Nong Reed and Farley were with us and after eating, we visited the newly opened ‘World of Fun’. We tried the private KTV and I had my scored Sing-Along for the first time. I sang, "She Will Be Loved". Wondering what’s my score? 69%! Too bad for a starter is it? Anyway, I know I got no career for singing. After singing, Nang Klaire and I tried the bumper ride. It was ‘bitin’ 15 minutes ride but it was FUN! I’ll never forget this day. *smiles*

Pull me down! I’m flying to nowhere! NCM was over this afternoon and the hell I care with the results. At last, everything is over and good things are quite happening. Tonight, I’ll be going at the Masskara site to make fun, with a continuation tomorrow. I’ll not be going home. I got an issue of TRC to finish. I’m so happy. Let’s jump…everybody jump!

Whew! After all the tortures, this dreadful semester is about to end. Final exams will be tomorrow and I was lucky this afternoon, Mrs. Paulite and Mrs. Manzan cleared my checklist. After the NCM exam tomorrow, I will be free as a bird! And I’m working with The Riverside Collegian’s Special Opinion issue. I can’t wait for the Cebu field trip..and the Boracay Escapade! The sem break will be a heaven…

Hurrah! Our Case Pres in OB was over this morning. The panel was good and they got around 2 questions only for my part, the critical Assessment part. Whew! Too much of that…anyway it’s over and my poblems remaining are only the Nursing Research final output and the upcoming exams. I’m overexcited for the Cebu field trip!

OMG! When I returned my borrowed VCD’s at ACA this afternoon, I saw a lot of people and they were buying all the VCD’s and VHS! ACA is getting closed and I got to grab the best movies I can find. Damn! All those bests were already reserved and I got the lousy ones. I bought around 11 VCD’s for only 10 pesos. Sigh…
