Before the school year ended last March, I've been anticipating the start of summer and planning so many things to do and places to go. The reason? It's because this is going to be the "last free summer" of my life. I may be over reacting but it's true. Imagine that since I started going to school 2 decades ago, every April and May means no schoolwork, no studying for exams, maybe a little bit more of house chores, and a lot more time for TV, books, movies, beach, shopping and places to travel. And let's not forget that it is also at this time of the year that my alarm clocks get to rest. :D
So what now? Well, after this summer, when another school year starts, I'll be in the 3rd year of medical school and after that, the 4th year would start almost right after the 3rd one....almost immediately, like April 1. So, depending on what date this school year would finish, I would at least have a week of vacation, 2 at the most, before starting junior internship of medical school. Yeah, right....like I would really enjoy that 1 week of school break. And so, that starts my year-round of hospital duties, and once you're in, there's no going out...unless you drop out altogether.
But I have resigned myself to this job no matter how much I may whine about it. The truth is, it wasn't only last March that I have anticipated the summer vacation. In fact, I've been planning since June of last year. And of all the plans that I have initially laid out, only one didn't played out. My trip to Bicol with fellow classmates for some wakeboarding fun. I was a bit depressed. I've been saving up for this. It wasn't even my idea in the first place but Aileen's. We've been recruiting our other classmates to join us and as of February, we were 4. I was almost willing even when there's only the two of us but alas, Aileen bailed out on me on the second week of April due to financial reasons.
And so hopefully, before we graduate, we can finally put that plan to reality. I was so looking forward to try wakeboarding.
And for my other summer travels so far (summer ain't over yet)....well, that's for my future entries!
