It is my birthday and I am supposed to be chillin’ but since I was given the most difficult task of my life, as yet, I ended up having a pick me up at Figaro. AT 7:00 am I was already there rehearsing my lines while sipping their version of caramel macchiato. Caffeine always gives me a kick as it calms me down.
At 6:30, I received a text from my headnurse reminding me of my hosting duty. I told her that I was already within the hospital premises and that I am already freaking out. I started to calm down when she said that she believed in me that is why she chose me for the job.
The lecture started at 9:00 am with my invocation. At first, I felt like my chest is about to explode as my heart is pounding so hard. I started to take deep breaths and reasonable amount of pauses. I was able to finish the prayer. Next thing I know, everything went smoothly.
I got to seat with the division head and had some chitchats. It really helped me to relax and pull it through the entire program.
Another experience that can be added to my accomplishments…personally

It only about three days before my birthday but I am not really excited about it. I am actually feeling like I am sitting on the edge of my seat because that day is the day that I will be having my first ever hosting gig. It is a half-day lecture and asks for a smart-casual attire not a tuxedo event really but seriously, it still gives my nerves a chilling sensation every time I think of it. And guess what, I was told that it is going to be the start of everything… or the end depending on whether or not I peed in my pants.

I was approached by my headnurse and she told me the gretest shocker of my nursing career… being a member of the education committee, I am tasked to host the upcoming symposia, Oh crap!
I tried to appeal saying that I am just a menber of the committee and the horror err honor should be with the group head. There I fell flat on my face because the head of the group is my headnurse and there’s no bargaining. I just told her to prepare a crash cart nearby in case my chest exploded due to palpitations.
The most cruel part of it is that it’s gonna happen on my birthday! It’s my off and it’s gonna be an unpaid task.
