Just got home, home sweet home. Yey. Everything seems to slip in place; the messiness, the weird noises every now and then - everything. i feel like sitting here with my feet up, drinking something cold. basically feeling life again.
the hospital trip lasted only three days cause it turns out, mom is well enough already to stand on her own. yez. :)
all in all, the trip to the hospital wasn't as boring as i thought. Medical city is freaking huge. it has two major towers - the main and the medical arts.
freaking huge. it looks more like a hotel than a hospital, really. not that it matters much though - actually i welcome the change. everything and everyone inside feels so warm, i half-expected people to suddenly dance or something.
like a hotel. there's a starbucks, a pancake house, and a foodcourt. it also has a bank and a powerbooks. dunnu why they didn't call it medical mall or sm medical, really. weeird.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
aside from the slight culture shock, i started to question the path i'm taking. (i mean, what do you expect me to think of, marooned in a hospital room for three days?)
it all started when, around midnight of the first night, i got up and explored a bit, on the pretense of buying something from the convenience store. i ended up on the lower ground(i think. there were two more floors after that), when i saw a sign leading to psychology. i freaked out a bit, then retreated back to the ground floor.
i dunno why.
the next day, late afternoon, the nurse told me that the OR was now ready. it was then that the thought of being an anesthesiologist appealed to me. how hard could it be to stick stuff near people's spinal cords, right?
i quickly dismissed the idea, reminding myself that every life is precious.
when my relatives came for a visit some time later, my tito bong, a banker, gave me the idea of being a nurse. well. not exactly. he kinda told me to be a nurse after my psychology, and i was like, what?!
i quickly dismissed this, since long time ago. sigh. whenever people ask me about my course, they almost always ask what i would want to do with it. i tell them it's very well rounded, since i can enter all three major fields - industrial, medical or educational.
then they ask me AGAIN, what i would want to do with it. i reply with my trust polite voice and basically say " i don't really know yet. i'll have to get a feel of it first, shouldn't i?"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
i want to be a pedia. i want to be a teacher. i want to be a trusted employee.
sigh.
