The past few days, I was suffering from stomach pain coming from the deep recesses of my bowel. Me, a broke grad student, wanted to ignore the pain for as long as possible. Also me, a broke grad student, endured the pain for 4 days until finally I couldn't take it anymore and visited a clinic. I am now an even more broke grad student. The stomach bug that caused me pain jamming to this song (probably). While I was sitting at the clinic's waiting area, waiting for my results to come back. I couldn't help but think of the irony of me being there. About 2 years ago, I was convinced that I was going to be a doctor. I lugged heavy books of medical school entrance examination books all the way from the Philippines to Mauritius. I methodically searched for the best universities and studied what their requirements are. Heck, I survived through an overloaded semester, just so that I would have the required units to attend medical school.
And then 2 years later, I'm sitting here at the clinic. Not a medical student. A grad student, nonetheless. A business school grad student. A now really-on-the-verge-of-really broke graduate student. My bill was almost 400 SGD. Oh how the turntables.
