Make It Or Break It
And I’m not kidding.
Yesterday I took my USMLE Step 2CK exam. I took me months preparing for
it, though I don’t really feel that I could be prepared enough for it.
I only try to give my Dad some reassurance whenever he asks me how was
my review going or if I do feel confident about taking this exam. I
try to feign confidence. But deep down, it’s like, "this is some deep
shit I’ve found myself."
So, at around 7:30 am, I was already at the Ateneo
Professional Schools in H.V. dela Costa. Too early, you might think,
for a 9:00am exam. No, it’s not. I really have to be there 30 minutes
prior to start time of exam for registration and everything. And I
have to have my "oxygen" first so as to steady some nerves. Hehe. And
I’ve to condition myself that I will just be sitting the whole day,
facing a computer screen, trying to answer questions that are out of
this world, and not being able to talk to a single soul because the
entire exam was video and audiotaped. No talking allowed. And no
cellphone use during breaks. And, yeah, only hour worth of break time
allowed for the entire day. Bathroom breaks already included. Such a
horrible day. Inevitable, though.
But at least it’s over now. And I’d be able to take a breather from
studying and put some more leisure time on blogging and doing some
stuff that I’ve put on hold since I started increasing the pace for my
study. Like going to the gym.
Yup, I should be getting back to getting fit. Or rather, I should be
starting again. I must have gained several pounds since I stopped
going to the gym weeks ago because I got "too busy" with studying,
clinic, and duties. I hope I could get it going now because I want to
lose the "excess baggage". I want to look pretty by the time Honey
gets home in October.
