Hello Medium world- it’s been a while since my last post. I’m not sure either it’s because I was distracted because of schoolwork or if it’s because I’m getting more adjusted to living in DC now, or it’s because of something else that I can’t publish online. But one thing…

I got an A for my first Pathophysiology exam! That sure does feel good. I have never been someone who cares *at all* about a grade. But that does give me an assurance that “hey, maybe I can do this.” Being someone who comes from a theater degree in the…

Have you ever had that aching feeling when you feel…. this sense of missing/longing? I guess you can say that it’s pretty normal that I feel this way since I moved my life across the country. It came sporadically once in a while — and I found myself instantly thinking…

Finally done with the first crazy hurdle of the Pathophysiology exam. I might be exaggerating — but it’s true to me, so…, but I felt like having just been hit by a bus. And now, I’m feeling all the pain after all the adrenaline subsides post-Wednesday. I’m going to coin…

I don’t think I’ve ever told anyone about this — because I figured it was irrelevant. My grandmother passed away a couple of months ago. My father video-called me that one moment before she died. We all saw it coming and that was why he called all of her kids…

Big exam on Wednesday — it’s for Pathophysiology. Have you guys ever thought that life sort of works like a game simulation? I remembered back when I was in primary school, maybe, I read this comic book about kids who were prepping for high school entrance exam, I think. And…

Yesterday was a really good day. I started off waking up and feeling rested — that was nice and didn’t know how much of a privilege that is. Did a lot of studying after that — tutoring, study, lunch, tutoring, study. And I love it. Partly because I can steer…
