Revalida what nots

The STRUGGLE is part of the story.

So what makes up my REVALIDA story?

I started studying (well, seriously at least) only a month prior to my oral revalida. Mheeeen. As in basics to the core --- physiology, anatomy, histology (yeabah - simple columnar epithelium!). Struggled through party hangowwwwver (singular only haha!), allergic rhinitis, fever of unknown origin, non productive cough, epal electives, and excessive vomiting (and I'm quite sure it's secondary to REVALIDA STRESS!). Browsed through ALMOST ALL the books but not quite, tried memorizing OC-OC notes (but failed!), and tried understanding my "favorite" emergencies! I even tried scented candles to calm my ass down, butttt QUE HORROR, I even found my newly bought shampoo FROZEN INSIDE THE FREEZER!, my Sharpie highlighter inside the refrigerator, my highlighters........... NA ORANGE LAHAT!


WHO?

Da! My consistent study buddy through richness and poorness ---- tubig level at Shakey's (yes, nag-aaral kami sa Shakey's!) and Rebisco sa Starbucks -- what branch? Name it! We've been there! CHOS! To even planning on changing my SB name every day which was successful only once -- "Hi! I'm Candy!"

Omar, my mentor!!! My bene meritus mentor! I'm a proud mentee! :) Through good vibes to sungit times! Bomar-na-bomar lang. Thank you for lending me your med bag things and books!

Kyla! My super effective mentor, who taught me OB-Gyne emergencies only two days prior to my oral revalida, which replaced "Acute Abdomen" as my wish-kong-emergency-na-mabunot. And my study buddy in times of stress (we've been long time friends so feeling ko at peace ako pag kasama ko siya!) and red velvet. AHHH!!! We're launching TWO BROKE MD GIRLS in a few days!

Kanin, kanin, kanin. Ice cream, ice cream, ice cream. Pizza, pizza, pizza. Pasta, pasta, pasta. Repeat 100x.

Lamon!
