Sometimes I am amazed by how much people can complain. They complain because they are not at home and they miss their parents, their family and their bed, they complain because they are at home and they miss some friends, good internet conection and independence. Then I remember that I used to be like that and I am just grateful that I am not anymore. In the past year I've learnt to enjoy the little things of life. My hot coffee in the morning, the sunshine in my face, the laughter of my goddaughter, the smell of an old book, the background noise of both the city and the countryside. In the past year I've learnt to feel at home wherever I am, I've learnt that as long as I keep being who I am and loving the people I love I will always be home. And that if for some reason I cannot feel at home, I just have to wait a little, 'cause all will be well. 

Today I am grateful for being abble to be happy. 

Now relax and go out with friends!

It's done. Actually, it is ALL done, with better grades than those that I was expecting. So now is time to catch up on Grey's Anatomy, How I Met Your Mother and Parenthood, go out with friends and spend some time with my family. I'm home until the end of the week and it feels amazingly good.  You can't imagine how I missed my bed.

Now Panic and Freak Out! #4

I've studied as much as I could. I really did. I worked really hard for this. I studied for classes, I ended Pathophysiology for the test that I had a few weeks ago, even though it didn't count. In the last 5 and and half days I studied what was left of Pharmacology and revised everything. But this exam is a monster. So please, I really need a miracle. Please.

The best medicine

If laughter is the best medicine, why do I have to study pharmacology?

Here we are. The night before this semester monster. I am tired. But I hope that I'll pass.

Two more days until the exam. I am tired and I am freaking out. I have been studying as much as I can but, honestly, I am not confident. I am supposed to study 7 lectures of Pharmacology and 8 of Pathophysiology today so I can have time to revise tomorrow and Tuesday morning. It is doable, as long as I keep motivated. I think I am getting a cold, and this isn't helping either. Let's see how it goes.

Sometimes certain people surprise me. I just received a document that resumes ALL the drugs, mechanisms of action, effects in mortality and side effects that I need to know for the exam. It seems amazing. And who sent it? A colleague friend that refused to let us copy the 'end-of-the-chapter-tables' of Katzung. Yeap, that's right. So I'm still a little mad about the tables, but if he was here I would give him a really big hug.

I couldn't finish everything I was supposed to do today. I guess tomorrow must be another chance.

It is done. I'm not sure that I'll pass the four exams, and they sure went really worse than I thought, but I'm confident that I'll pass 3 of them. Next one is on tuesday: Pathophysiology and Pharmacology. Five small days to go. 

Yup, now panic and freak out!

Don't Panic!

In less than 10 hours I will start a marathon of not two, not three but FOUR exams. Four exams in four hours, not much. 50 multiple choices per exam. 200 questions. Of four different subjects. Epidemiology, Public Health, Mental Health and Aging Diseases. Starting at 8 am. Oh boy... I still have a few things to revise. Well, wish me luck.

I'll need it.
