Board Examination Day part 2

I just finished organizing ALL of my reviewers. I suddenly realized I was amazing. And why is that? I finished all of those notes! For real? I can’t believe it. What a preparation for boards. Three months? Four months? Almost five months! However, after the exam while ago, I feel like those are actually all useless. The board exam is so......

I woke up early again today. I thought I should have a final wrap up for today’s subjects. I wasn’t contented with my too much disturbed and troubled readings last night. When it was time, I then started preparing myself. Without having a breakfast, I took a bath and changed into uniform. I get my things, and then I went on.

It was Sunday, so there were really only few people outside at that early time. Riding the jeepney didn’t become so hard. It was an easy trip to the university. I and MLA decided to just meet up at the building and not at the gate anymore. Both of us knew where to go and what to do upon entering the gate anyway. When I was climbing the stairs, I suddenly heard somebody called my name. Of course I was watching my steps by then, so I raised my head to search for that someone. I saw a group on the straight way up, but I knew no one among them. I heard another call, that time more people shouted my name. I followed the sound and there I finally saw where they are. I joined the group which was basically encompassing a big area on the corridor already. After some time, they started to become a little noisy, and so I decided to distant a little from them to have some reading myself. Until it was almost near time, so we dispersed to our own examination rooms.

Back to Room 319, we had a new pair of proctors just like what our previous proctors said yesterday. We underwent same process like during the first day. Our documents and everything else were checked. Our schedule for the day was presented on the board. We have the last three subjects for today -- Hematology, Immunology-Serology-Blood Banking and Histopathology-Medical Technology Laws and Ethics with Laboratory Management respectively. Afterwards, we were given spare time to do our own things. One moment and all of a sudden, I felt like some cold water was just poured unto me. I read on the board. Hema then ISBB. Hema first and ISBB second. Hema before and ISBB after. Oh my! I thought it was vice versa! That was why I chose to read the later while waiting before then, and to review the former after our first exam! But then I would learn that was the sequence?! I just shook my head in disappointment. I was a dead meat. But what could I do, it was there already so just let it be.

While waiting, something happened unexpectedly. We were told that there would be some delay due to some problems regarding the test papers. Our proctors added that we could just still have our review first. Well, that was something! I almost jumped at my chair! What a blessing in disguise! I immediately got my Hema notes and started scanning it. After some time, RJLA went to me and ask something. I answered him with the use of my reviewer. The next thing I know, I just let him have my reviewer. Until I realized what mistake I just did. What was I going to read by then? I was so stupid. If only not because… Tsk tsk tsk. Haha. I remembered I have a soft copy of my notes on my phone, so I just resolved with it. That was a good thing. Haha! So the delay went longer than expected that I was able to even finish my scan. I was at least more ready by then than the first moment that we should have taken the exam. And though I hate group reviews, most especially when I don’t have a good personal review yet, I was even able to pair review with a friend and former classmate / school mate whose seat is behind me.

Until finally the problem was solved, so it was already time. We first prayed again and the exam had officially started. The next happenings were almost a replay of yesterday. It was 4 or 5 pm when we finished all the exams. After meeting up with RJLA and MLA outside on the hallways, we could see inexpressible different emotions in each other faces.

Since it’s the last day of board exam -- our last time in UE, we decided to do some rounds before leaving. We walked through the hallways. We stared at the university monument. We went through other buildings from one entrance to another. We passed by the Chapel. We searched for their well-known garden -- though not open. We were basically like inspectors. Haha. At least in that way, we forgot the reason and purpose why we were there in the first place. Well for me, I felt extra happy -- being with a best friend and a c-r-u-s-h at the same time. Haha! And oh, I remember! I almost trip at one point by then because though it was just a low downward step, it was wet due to the rain -- and remember, I wore heels? And both of them immediately held my hand to prevent me from completely falling! Haha. After our ‘sight-seeing’ hehe, we then decided to go home.
