We’re down to the last stretch of exams before we officially bid goodbye to the first semester. I can’t wait!!! I looked forward to the first semester with much delight because this would be – theoretically – my last year of having classroom lectures before the “baptism of fire”. But it turns out, and as my friends from the upper batch warned me beforehand, the final year spent in the classrooms was not (and never will be) grandiose. The last four months went by like a breeze. It’s feels like June started only yesterday but before I know it, here I am just a few days short from officially closing the first semester.
If there’s anything to feel at the moment, it’s perhaps this very surreal feeling of nostalgia as I look back to the days when I was just starting out… It’s only been two years and a half but a lot has changed from Day 1. From around 94 doe-eyed doctor-wannabes, we’re down to 53 and that’s inclusive of some people from the higher batch who didn’t quite make it with their peers. A few nights ago, I browsed through my videos at youtube and chanced upon one of the videos I made for school.
What made me really sad about this was the fact that only 6 of those featured in that video have remained to be my classmates. Some transferred schools, others have decided med school wasn’t for them while a few had backlogs. Back when we made that video, we were all hoping that we’d bump into each other in the hospital as we do rounds in our fourth and fifth years, sadly though I guess the streets are the only place we’d hopefully bump into each other.
It’s another cold night. I need a hug, but all I have is this electric blanket. =(

While I do not really agree with the feedback earlier mentioned, at the bare minimum that individual does indeed demonstrate a position. We tend to get ensnared up in the details and lose vision of the even larger picture.
