Blabber
I have not written anything for quite some time now. I am back to school to finish the las sem I dropped last year due to familial crisis. I am happy to be back in school and finally get my darn degree over with. I want to go to med school. But med school means money, time, hardwork, perseverance and a lot of sacrifice. I have all of those except money. So I think I should just work my ass as a nurse first and save up on med school, anyway it's like grad school, no age requirement. The darn lottery won't make me win even a penny. I only need about a million and a half to finance med school expenses including internship, residency, fellowship until finally I am a consultant and I can charge professional fee for my service and expertise. A million and a half for all that and that is way cheap for a decent and comfortable lifestyle. I am not asking for more though. Just a million and a half and I'll be fine. Well of course I won't be able to produce a million and a half in a year, so med school's a bit far fetched. For crying out loud, nursing here in the Philippines' declining fast. All the major hospitals stopped hiring nurses. A lot of supply for a very low demand. Abroad? Can't find a job there unless you have experience here already. And I am having second thoughts on leaving. Before I was so convinced to leave this country and work abroad and earn lotsa money to get a life I wanted. But things changed, I met someone and he can't go abroad coz he has to finish residency for 5 long and agonizing years. I don't want to leave, not that i don't trust him, I just don't want us to be not around fr each other. Given his job description and mine too, time's a luxury and if I leave the tiny time we have for each other would be lost. I don't want that. So maybe I'll stay here, work twice as hard, save up all I can save, wait for him and then we can leave together and come back with enough to start with and live a comfortable life.
Well, whatever. I'm counting years down the road. I still need one and a half million to go to med school.
