And I’m not kidding.
Yesterday I took my USMLE Step 2CK exam. I took me months preparing for it, though I don’t really feel that I could be prepared enough for it. I only try to give my Dad some reassurance whenever he asks me how was my review going or if I do feel confident about taking this exam. I try to feign confidence. But deep down, it’s like, “this is some deep shit I’ve found myself.”
So, at around 7:30 am, I was already at the Ateneo Professional Schools in H.V. dela Costa. Too early, you might think, for a 9:00am exam. No, it’s not. I really have to be there 30 minutes prior to start time of exam for registration and everything. And I have to have my “oxygen” first so as to steady some nerves. Hehe. And I’ve to condition myself that I will just be sitting the whole day, facing a computer screen, trying to answer questions that are out of this world, and not being able to talk to a single soul because the entire exam was video and audiotaped. No talking allowed. And no cellphone use during breaks. And, yeah, only hour worth of break time allowed for the entire day. Bathroom breaks already included. Such a horrible day. Inevitable, though.
But at least it’s over now. And I’d be able to take a breather from studying and put some more leisure time on blogging and doing some stuff that I’ve put on hold since I started increasing the pace for my study. Like going to the gym.
Yup, I should be getting back to getting fit. Or rather, I should be starting again. I must have gained several pounds since I stopped going to the gym weeks ago because I got “too busy” with studying, clinic, and duties. I hope I could get it going now because I want to lose the “excess baggage”. I want to look pretty by the time Honey gets home in October.
