It's been a week since I came back from the Philippines. Life over there has been humbling. It is true that I am way blessed than most people over there. (I just typed a bunch of things and then just erased it because I want to keep it simple, so here it is) Yes I am blessed in ways I dont even deserve. BUT my life here is not at all as peachy as you would imagine. Now today is a really bad day. like I would say this is the worst day that I ever had here in Canada, next to my dad passing away of course.
Here's a life in the worst day of Mariel Tan 2016
6:30 am - woke up, got ready, no breakfast ready yet so just head out the door for Doctor's appointment
7:15 am - Doctor's appointment. everything looking better than before but not really 100% just yet.
8:00 am - breakfast at the hospital cafeteria
8:30 am - took the train to go to school for 9:15 class
9:15 am - in class
11:05 - lunch for an hour, not really hungry yet so just had iced cap, really tired and sleepy though but had to get ready for labs
2:15 pm - 1 lab down, 1 more to go, although getting a little hungry. wasn't able to finish activity because getting bothered by hunger.
4:15 pm - Labs done. was so hungry couldn't even walk straight
4:45 pm - at home, babies crying, struggled to get food. had to finish activity that was left behind
6:05 pm - after fighting yes fighting with scanner, finally done and able to nap for night shift
9:30 pm - night starting, got ready for work
10:45 pm - night shift started. started so hungry, wasn't able to eat at home since there is no food to eat or to bring.
11:15 pm - ready to give up at life. but had to continue shift 7.5 hours to go!
and my day is not over yet. but yes. I am fortunate that I get to finance my education on my own, that I have a source of income that is sustainable for me... but have you ever had life this way? I am only 23. I need a break.
