Ok here it goes. I have been slacking off from writing for a couple of months now. Contrary to this one supervisor's belief that I am not entitled to be granted this leave , now I can courageously say this to her face: "I totally deserve this one Ma'am, finally I can write something and let's just hope it is not about you.
In my lifespan, I got hold of several funny and not to mention formidable labels: small but terrible,bulilit na malupit, the math whiz, nerdoid, efficient nurse etc. Of course, I always treasured being recognized as an efficient nurse especially from an equally efficient doctor herself. And recently, one of my foreigner classmates who happened to be my group mate in a very demanding and demeaning subject had been calling me as "THE WONDER WOMAN". I am not at all comparable to Wonder Woman, however now I realize maybe I was and now maybe I can be. Last semester in my graduate course was by far the most difficult semester I had been through. Imagine being in school from 10 am til 7 pm and napping for two hours just enough to make my neurons focused for my night duty and not just on a once or twice a week basis but on a daily basis, that literally dehydrated all my energy reserves. Only in the last semester,out of the five year employment here in PGH I experienced AWOL (absence without leave) because I did not manage to wake up from my two hour sleep.
This makes me realize, do I need to give up work for school?
I barely survived with work and school.
