13: Lucky

Contrary to popular belief, Friday the 13ths are not always destined for bad luck. Today is actually one extra lucky and memorable day for me, and until now, I still feel giddy and warm inside from all the good vibes.

• Was assigned to an awesome preceptor for History-taking (Hx) and Physical Exam (PE) of the thyroid gland. I learned so much--both theoretical and clinical.
• Got an actual patient for Hx and PE for the first time ever. It was nerve-wracking yet exciting to examine a patient with goiter, learning about the disease first-hand.
• Was given the opportunity to help our goiter patient by referring her to an Endocrinology fellow at The Medical City.
• Our patient even had her picture taken with us as a form of memorabilia. Sweet :)
• Understood individual differences more through the Enneagram disscussion for our MBA Leadership class. As in an eye-opening, "ah kaya naman palaaa" level! Made me understand a lot of people and why they're the way they are more.
• Had an awesome time with some UP Psych people during our mini get-together at Ristras and Serenitea in San Juan! I enjoyed catching up, looking at our yearbook, and reminiscing, my heart was actually crying in happiness inside. I miss UP. I miss Psych. I miss Mandala X. Shocks, batch reunion na 'tooo! Haha.
• Bonded with my mom and my brother on our way home. Heart-to-heart moments joined with lots of laugh trips.
• Getting to sleep in tomorrow morning, wohooo! I love Friday nights!
