it's been a week since the board exams ended. most of us were just too relieved to finally make it through the two week exam. in the end, it's like begging for mercy to spare you no more suffering. the last few minutes before each examination, i slammed my book and said: BAHALA NA!. but i always end up murmuring at least 10 times in each exam: through the merits of thy cruel martyrdom, saint philomena hear and help me. there was even a point in pathology exam that i just want to tear my test paper and walk out. i've cried more than once after each examination day, mostly out of fear of failing and frustration.

and now we're done. results were out. i would say they were awfully good.
