10 fears with the coming board exams:

10. that i get to leave my notice of admission at home on the day of the exam.
09. maputol at maubos ang pencil kaka sharpen.
08. masira ang sharpener ko.
07. maubos ang ink ng ball pen.
06. that my uniform does not fit me anymore.
05. that i have a hard time looking for my classroom.
04. na walang electric fan or good ventillation ang classroom or that i get to sit next to someone who has body odor.
03. that i don't get to remember anything that i studied or memorized.
02. that i over sleep on the morning of the exam.
and my greatest fear...
01. that i suffer from diarrhea on the day of the exam!

friends and relatives, this is it. limang tulog na lang, board exam na. please remember me in your prayers. if you guys could pray for me on saturday and sunday morning that would really be great. i know that i am working hard to prepare for the exams. i don't think i have studied this much sa buong buhay ko,haha! sabi nga nila, "do your best and God will do the rest". i know that God will guide me and give me knowledge on the day of the exam but just the same please pray for me and for all those taking the exam on the said days. i heard 90,000 daw kmi....BLOCKBUSTER pala if the rumors are true.

thanks so much in advance. i will be back after sunday and life will be back to normal by then.

second home

i have recently found a second home...starbucks.

i got so tired of studying at home. i get tempted to watch tv, sleep, or go online. since sunday, i have been going to starbucks ( walking distance from my house) and stay there and i actually get to study. i buy myself coffee and that would be good na for 6 to 7 hours. teehee. i have found my own quiet space at starbucks banawe already. i only have 9 more days after today till the boards (shocks, 9 na lang!).

i only have one more weekend left before the board exams. im doomed. im dead.

it's panic mode time. craming time ( to be honest, i am more effective pag cramming!)

it's just so weird. back in august, it felt like i had a lot of time to study pa but now that's it's only TWO freaking weeks before the exam...i feel like, i want to just get sick and not take the exam. teehee.

i have not been able to do some serious studying the past week. to be honest im so concerned that i seem to be slacking off with 39 days before the exam. how do you guys study? my waking up early (3-4am) worked for a few weeks but now, it's not working anymore. i get super sleepy after an hour of reading even if i try to sleep early. i know i should not go online anymore, but sayang the paid opps! teehee. i could use the extra money for christmas. i think too many things on my mind the past few days that's why finishing some reading has been impossible. i used to study sa coffeeshop, i have not tried it recently but will do after i come back from bora. maynilad is doing some work outside (our street) and i am estimating that come november, they'll be right in front of our house already. that would mean too noisy to study. and time to go to starbucks or seattle's or cafe mocha or coffee bean. i have to get back my groove. any suggestions on what i should do?

bits and bits

tiring week. the whole week of last week i attended NCLEX review at LinkUS. learned a lot and even if i had to be there the whole day, it was worth it. anyone here interested to attend review sessions at LinkUS just message me so i could give you info. it's an 8 week review. i just attended it for one week (the last week of the 8 weeks) since the lecturer was a friend who flew-in from the states.

we went to nueva ecija last sunday to celebrate with my cousin sha-sha for passing the june nursing board exams. it was a long trip back to manila because of traffic. i spent the travel time reading and going over my reviewers. at least i was able to make good use of my time still. the food was YUM-O as usual!

***

i started with my local board reviews today. im having nightmares about the board exams already. a friend commented that we (me and my group) are starting quite early. we think otherwise though. with all the things we have to review, we feel pressured and we think december is so near already. eeek!

ate peach: si tita kimmie and tito dick, uuwi na.
mac-mac: ay, kailangan ko mag pa prescribe ng medicine kay tita kimmie.
(my tita and her hubby are both doctor's)
me: medicine for what?
mac-mac:pang pataba
(mac has been skinny all his life!)
me: mag growee ka na lang!
mac-mac: tita kimmie, what vitamins is ok to gain weight? tita i think i have carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS).
tita kimmie: (checks on mac's hands) wala.
macy: how about me, tita?
tita kimmie: (check's on my hands) eto, meron. you buy...(she told me to buy something near orthopedic, i forgot naman what)
macy: belat, mac. ako may CTS ikaw wala.

what the, teehee!

the results of the june 2007 nursing board exams came out this afternoon. i knew it was to come out already and i was even planning on waiting online tonight but i didn't know that the results are to be out as early as 4PM. anyhoo, im happy to share that all 3 cousins (jason,sha-sha and anna) passed the exam. all of my friends also passed the exams and one student from my school is part of the topnotchers. all good news for the day. and parties in the coming weeks to celebrate their success.

i opted not to take the exam because cousins were taking the exam and i felt i could not handle the pressure. but now that they passed, and i am to take the exam soon i have realized that i SHOULD pass because they did! double na ang pressure. OMG!
