When I get older, I will be Stronger

Yesterday was my first day as a second year college student, YEHEY......nat :|

My schedule was 6am to 6pm. That was 12 hours and it just tortured me. I just sat there and listened to my Clinical Instructors the whole day. They were teaching us how to take care of newborns, procedures to be done in the lying in etc. The procedures sound cool because we are actually gonna do them when we're on our duties but the whole process of teaching totally bored me. I just cannot explain the immensity of the boredom i experienced. OK, maybe i'm exaggerating here but i don't know. I didn't sense the PASSION from my teachers which was probably why they didn't get my attention. Everything was just so crappy yesterday. I know it's partly my fault too because I kinda didn't want to listen and the lessons were ... dragging.

I hope next week's gonna be better to the point that I would actually look forward to the next meeting. POSITIVITY!

“We all think we’re going to be great and we feel a little bit robbed when our expectations aren’t met. But sometimes expectations sell us short. Sometimes the expected simply pales in comparison to the unexpected. You got to wonder why we cling to our expectations, because the expected is just what keeps us steady. Standing. Still, the expected’s just the beginning, the unexpected is what changes our lives.”

“Maybe we're not supposed to be happy. Maybe gratitude has nothing to do with joy. Maybe being grateful means recognizing what you have for what it is. Appreciating small victories. Admiring the struggle it takes simply to be human. Maybe we're thankful for the familiar things we know. And maybe we're thankful for the things we'll never know. At the end of the day, the fact that we have the courage to still be standing is reason enough to celebrate.”

“We have to make our own mistakes. We have to learn our own lessons. We have to sweep today’s possibility under tomorrow’s rug until we can’t anymore, until we finally understand for ourselves like Benjamin Franklin meant. That knowing is better than wondering, that waking is better than sleeping. And that even the biggest failure, even the worst most intractable mistake beats the hell out of never trying.”
