The last concluded module was that of the Endocrine system. It was difficult yet brisk, running for only six days but with effortful requirements and topics. I honestly don't know if I'll pass or fail this module. Hopefully I will, but if I don't, then it's God's way of telling me that I need to learn more about Endo. So despite the scariness of it all, the potentiality of another module removal exam, I'm okay. There's still fear and anxiety, but I'm okay. I'm here to learn and not just pass my subjects, anyway :)
Saturday came, and it was MedGroove and MedRhythmia 2011 time. Six med schools from all over NCR joined together and exhibited their dancing and singing skills, respectively. It was such an awesome show, as if the performers weren't med students at all! Haha. Thankfully, the Ateneo contingents (the Ateneo Medicine Dance Group and Ateneo VoX) won, both grabbing the 2nd place in the two competitions. I was so proud, I caught sight of a blue eagle and felt blue blood running in my veins. LOL. Haha. But seriously, I was so proud of them because most of the performers were my friends, and I knew how much they worked hard for the competition. Congratulations, AMDG and Vox! One big fight!
Yet shortly after the happiness came sadness. A 2nd year medical student from our school passed away due to myocardial infarction or heart attack. I don't know him personally, but I feel so affected with what happened. I'm thinking of his dream of becoming a doctor, the friends he left behind, the family who loves him.. It's so sad that he's now gone. That quick. That fast. It's just another reminder of how fleet and sudden life can go, and if we don't live it to the fullest, we might regret it once things end unexpectedly.
May you rest in peace, Darryl Martin. I'm praying for you and your family.
