The road to pharma
Maybe now isn't the right time to put this in writing, but the amount of lessons I need to remember has gone out of proportion that I feel like I need to distract myself. Give me one more set of drugs to memorize, and my head might just explode.
Studying can be a pain—no, a struggle—at times, especially when the unread notes pile up, the backlog becoming more and more paralyzing as the day of the exam nears. Which is why I praise God for the chance to hear some friends testify of His goodness. What they said was a powerful reminder for me: that God is our strength and joy, that we are never alone in the things we do, and that studying is a form of worship.
It was a rebuke, in a way, because for the past days I've been prone to complaining, raising my hands in resigned surrender when I don't feel like studying anymore. But isn't studying also a way to glorify God, to marvel at His creation, to be humbled at the sight of His greatness?

Kuya, praise God for this encouragement! :D mike
ReplyDeleteI admire your love and passion, Lance. I always look forward to wise words from you. :) I'm here at Roni's unit trying to download the last 3 transes that I know I won't memorize in time for the exam, haha. That's the way it is. Good luck and God bless. :)
ReplyDeleteok na din kasi tapos na ang pharma. hindi pa din ako makatulog ngayon kasi parang nasanay na 'yung system ko sa puyatan.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, Mike. I have to remind myself over and over again, and writing about it helps.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Laureen. Fast-speed pala ang internet ni Ronnie!
ReplyDeleteAnonymous, 'yan naman ang tinatawag kong calm after the storm. Masochists nga siguro tayo. I feel the same thing. Pagod na pero may adrenalin rush pa rin.
ReplyDeleteI was in search for entries that can uplift my dampened mood (thanks to five consecutive failed long exams). Shifting exams, the major major exams in PLM-CM, are drawing near. This reminder is just what I need to keep going.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lance.
