Now, 24.

My birthday is over and I had fun! Although I got really tired with cooking for dinner that day, it was still worth it considering that I get to celebrate my 24th birthday with my family and my boyfriend. The blessings that I have been receiving for the past couple of weeks are enough as birthday gifts. But there's one birthday wish that I am still waiting to be granted - to work permanently in a hospital. God said, Blessed are those who wait. Yes, dear God. I am willing to wait for the right time.

My MA classes are killing me. Paper works here and there! On August 12, we will present our Chapter 1 and 2 of our unapproved thesis. Until now, I am not yet done with my Chapter 1. It is driving me crazy. Really. The next day would be our exam on Nursing Theories. This is the subject that I neglect most. So, good luck to me!

On the other hand, I am getting lazy with my work as an English teacher. Maybe because I suddenly missed working in the hospital. I miss writing on charts, regulating the IV fluids, pushing IV medications and interacting and caring for patients. I know that I truly belong there.

One of my students asked me if I would still be her teacher when she gets back in November. I told her with all honesty that I won't be staying that long in the school because I want to go back to the hospital. She felt sad. She told me, "Teacher... Don't go back to the hospital. Stay here. Please?" Aww. I didn't know what to answer right then and there. And you know what? Almost everyday, she asks me if I would still pursue my hospital come back. I guess, she's really that worried.
