Jammed: Full into Capacity

An interesting post over PinoyBlogero, entitled “Student Bloggers: Juggling Studies and Blogging” has put me into deep thoughts on how I manage to blog and study at the same time.

I am a fourth year medical student, currently on my clerkship and hospital rotations, and if compared to an average student, perhaps I face bigger responsibilities, sacrifice, hardships, and self-punishment or anyway you put it. I tried several attempts to quit blogging but I just couldn’t because:

Firstly, it’s one of my passions. I have always been tagged as an internet addict by people around. I just can’t simply live without the internet, blogging included.

Secondly, I am earning from it. My revenues from this blog is not that much but at least it can contribute to my school fees, add luxuries to that. At least on that part, I am helping my parents because I’ve been a burden to them in my 23 years of existence.

Thirdly, I am learning from it. Aside from getting information from other blogs, I also learn by posting several topics. Whenever I find a good topic, I search to expound it more.

Fourthly, I get to meet several interesting people. So I don’t need Friendster or MySpace to “extend” my number of friends.

Lastly, the most important reason why I can afford to blog despite my busy schedule is I know how to manage my time.
