blurry eyesi could not recall a significant event that occured yesterday, maybe because i only had 3 hourse of sleep. went to bed at around three and woke up at 7. nahilo ako buong araw! parang blurred lahat ang nakikita ko. everything was in slow motion. i came back to my senses late in the afternoon coz i had to accompany fiona to the hospital kasi iaadmit namin si martin. kawawa naman kasi coz his parents arent around. he’s been sick since last saturday and his fever hasnt gone down since. he didnt want to be admitted but we had no other choice. baka lumala pa if he stayed at home. besides, there wasnt anyone to take care of him there since he only stays in an apartment with his cousin who’s also in college. may pasok rin si tina so she couldnt be there all the time. when we arrived in the hospital, andun na silang dalawa. martin looked so sick and pale. kawawa talaga. we had him checked in the ER. at first, ayaw pa niyang magpaadmit kasi the only space available was in the hallway! apparently, all the rooms are taken kaya sa hallway nalang yung ibang patients. Gad!! a lot of people are getting sick nowadays. kahit yung private hospitals puno! as in fully booked! we wanted to go to the other private hospital but they declined kasi wala na daw talagang space. wow. our other option was to have him administered with IV tapos uuwi nalang siya. parang out-patient lang. then he’ll go back to the hospital para check ups lang. atleast may intravenous na nakaattach sa kanya. besides, he lives across the hospital naman so its not that hard for hime to go back to the hospital. but then sabi ng nurse di daw pwede yung ganon. kung may IV, dapat ipaadmit daw. hindi daw pwedeng iuwi yung patient with IV kasi wala daw magmomonitor nun. so fiona and i said na “nursing students naman kami so kami nalang magmomonitor sa kanya”, but then hindi pa rin nakalusot. so yun, martin had no choice but to take the “hallway.” he’s still there right now but he’s getting better. atleast he wasnt as pale as yesterday and he can eat na. before he was admitted, hindi kasi siya nakakakain due to his tonsilitis, which, by the way, is the main reason why he got sick. Tina said there were times when he’d only take three spoons of noodles in one day kasi masakit daw talaga yung throat nya. oh well, hope he gets better.
i hate being in the front seatanother first day. first day ng major subjects.
it went pretty well. the group, composed of 50 heads, wasnt what i had expected. im SO glad it wasnt. i imagined greeting a group of serious minded nursing freaks on my first day of class. instead, i found myself in a room full of noisy, magulo, carefree people. HAY SALAMAT! my new blockmates werent that bad after all. kala ko kasi mga kj ang bago kong classmates. haha. ive never been fond of having new classmates every year, nor every semester! i prefer being in a block section and retain that block for the whole year, and if possible, for the rest of my college days! Di naman talaga ako anti-social, may separation anxiety lang. hehe. i have a hard time letting go of the bond that has kept us together for one whole year.
wel anyway, i havent met all the 14 heads with whom i will be spending 12 hours every single day for the next 6 months and possibly 10 months. ive only gotten to know a few. ive already met rizza and ate tess, whom i spent my entire junior year with. there’s also ate arlene and ate jeryl, whom i spent my sophomore year with. there’s albert, who was my 6th grade classmate and there’s mark who was one of my blockmates in my freshman year. so there, 6 down, 8 more heads to go. apparently, these 8 new heads are new to me, but from what ive seen this morning, them seemed ok to me. di masyadong seryoso pero di rin naman lost. im thankful that i fell in the company of these people instead of being thrown into the pit with oh-so-serious students. ayoko ng ganun. ive experienced it before at ayokong maulit yun. ilagay nyo nalang ako sa maiingay at magugulong klase kasi mas nakakarelate ako dun. 
my friends went to school early so they got to choose the seats. being the good friends that they are, they reserved a seat for me rin. IN FRONT! as in front seats! i have never in my whole life sat in front! im a certified back seater! bakit ako nasa harap?!? but then again, that’s what i get for being a late comer. i couldnt blame them either, even if i arrived early, di rin sila papayag na umupo sa likuran. i guess im doomed. intructors usually call the people in the front line. parang automatic na yun e, especially in a class as big as ours, they would have the chance to get to know each one of us, so tinatawag nila yung una nilang nakikita. yep, that would be us. and to make things worse, my professor is a friend of my mom. so she knows my name. at lahat ng kalokohan ko sa skul ay pwede nyang isumbong sa parents ko. crap.
being in the front seat would also mean that i could no longer get away with wearing slippers to school. i dont know why the nursing department forbids the student to wear slippers in school. hindi naman talaga pambahay na slippers ginagamit namin e. at hindi lang slippers ang tinitira nila, pati shorts (boys or girls), baby tees, at short skirts. parang gusto nilang magmukha kaming nerd e. dati kasi, i was always seated at the back kaya i had the freedom to wear whatever i want kasi hindi naman nila makikita yung suot ko. but now, being a front seater, i have to appear ‘presentable’ to avoid being humiliated by my prof.
aside from my seat, wala naman ako masyadong reklamo. i think this class would be fun. i hope.
