New Milestone!!!

Ahoyyy!!!

It has been a long time ever since I wrote something here in my blog. These past few months make me so busy... well, you know reading manga and such is one of my hobbies that keeps myself distracted from the reality of the outside world.

As you know I am a BS Biology graduate who graduated last March 2011 just this year. I can't say that the first quarter of my year is good. There are a lot of hang ups and disappointments that keeps me isolated for months. I keep myself busy and occupied so that I won't remember the mistakes I did in the past that makes me worry.

But that was centuries ago... hahaha.... time passes quickly and unknowingly September 25, 2011 is quite trembling. Why? It is because it is the time when I should take my LET exam. You might be wondering how can a BS Bio graduate can take the exam? It is because in Cebu Normal University most of their courses and majors have education electives. It means we have to take these education subjects as prescribed in our curriculum whether we like it or not. And since we did so we are able to take the board.

Too bad for me since I didn't do any intensive review at all. I don't even know what to do and what will happen. What I had is a cheap LET reviewer the orange one from I can't remember the name of the publishing company anymore since I disregarded it a long time ago. And some notes I photocopied from my friends who attended the review in school. I didn't even managed to check the photocopied notes ^_^.

And there... the time come to meet the hell in disguise. God! The first set of test isn't that hard and not too wrong. There are a lot of Filipino subject on it few math, and there is science and all since it is the Gen. Ed area. I thought I have answered half of the questions correctly but not so sure if they are really right. I even passed my paper first than my other testmates.

And then followed by the professional education subject. Hell!!! I don't even know where those questions came from. I didn't read any of those and can't even find similar questions from the reviewer I am using as a guide. It was a tough ride and I did finished answering quickly since I can't change my answers anymore because I don't have anything to change to begin with. What was in my mind is the word 'bahala na wala bitaw ko mag-review so okay ra if I fail". That was my defense mechanism to ease my guilt.

The last part is the specialization. I really thought that the test was hard because that was what other told me to. But thanks God I am a pure BS Biology major so the specialization part is quite easy but not that easy. There are few that I can't understand fully but when I come to think of it, If I really did the review I am pretty confident that I can answer those questions well.

Most of my friends and classmates were so excited about the upcoming result and that includes me. Somehow the excitement I felt was replaced when I entered Visayas State University also known as Leyte State University by many and most people by VISCA. I pursued my ultimate dream and that is to become a Veterinarian. They have a lot of top vet graduates there and the tuition fee is much cheaper too.

The school is composed of two campuses facing each other. The lower and the upper campus. The lower campus is composed of faculty housing, dormitories, cottages, apartments and the hospital. On the upper campus is the school campus, buildings, laboratories, departments and dormitories. It is a nice school that offers high quality education in cheaper tuition. But nothing can compare my Alma matter which is the Cebu Normal University, the very first institution that gave me the knowledge that I need and the pride that I can call mine.

As of the present I am a second year student taking up Doctors of Veterinary Medicine and a proud one. So, far I am doing good.



And last November 17, my cottage adviser Miss Emily Lagumbay who graduated the same time as me told me that the result is already out. I am in the verged of dying at that night because I haven't take my breakfast, lunch and dinner when she told me that making me more hungry and depressed for no particular reason. Maybe because I forgot about it and knowing that there is a possibility of me failing and the humiliation is at stake makes me so nervous that I am even afraid to ask my classmates about it.

Me and Cora together with Carl, the president from the Narra Dormitory walks toward the upper campus because of a meeting. We are talking about it when Rosalie texted me and congratulated me, meur, Web and the other guys who passes the board. I am so glad and happy and nervous. I felt like I am above the clouds and there are butterflies flying around my stomach as if I am in love. I forgot the feeling of being in love so just don't mind it.

Using my mobile phone I accessed my facebook account and I've read greetings from friends and classmates just making my heart pound ten times. I wanted to call my mother but I need to confirm it with my own two eyes but when we got home the internet cafe is already close. I need to wait a night just to see it.

Friday morning, I rushed out from DLABS to the lower campus to use the internet and to check the results. I am in middle of locating my name when my mother called and ask me about the result. And there, with my two own eyes I saw my name 4962 ESPINA, NONAH MAE TAMALA in the list of passers.

It makes me teary eyed because it is really a big achievement for me... for someone who didn't do enough review at all!!! But my happiness is somehow half-hearten because some of my friends didn't passed. But I know they are strong, they will somehow overcome the failure and will surely prepare for the April's exam for retakes.

I know and I believe they will pass for sure since my friends are strong and smart. They have all my support and all.

As for my next voyage??? I will put it all here... I still have to conquer the NVAT examination this April so that I will be in the vet med proper next year.... Good luck to me!
