The Evil Semester

Olive: I'm finally done with this evil semester, whew! The faculty had structured the past two months like basic training. We had to pick and choose which ones we're willing to let go and take a hit on, than fail. Most of my classmates were snappy and a lot more outspoken with each other, ready to bite each other's head-off if one wrong word was said, yikes!

I have to say, this semester must be one of the hardest semester I have ever experienced in my entire learning life; three to four (sometimes five) hours of sleep a day for five weeks straight. Just to stay up, I think the only liquid of life running through my veins are coffee, soda, and Red Bull. Just the thought of it gives me chills. But the good news is I passed! Yippeeee!

The past two mornings after the semester was over were H-E-A-V-E-N! I woke up at 0430 on both days and just enjoyed my time. I didn't have to rush and get back to studying or map-out a care plan. I turned on the TV and just enjoyed the lull sound coming from it. I thoroughly enjoyed the quiet darkness of the house, the only light I have is the one eminating from the TV screen, with the smell and taste of fresh coffee while talking to my beloved "Asawa ko"--ahh, pure bliss.
