Sharp Minds, Sharp Looks: "A Stylish Romance Between Andrew and Clark"

Chapter 22: library

Clark and Andrew knew that they needed to focus on their studies in order to maintain their position as top-notchers in their class. They had to prepare for their upcoming exams in PMLS1 and Anatomy and Physiology. They decided to meet up in the library after their last class to review their notes.

"Hey, Clark, have you reviewed the competencies of a medical technology professional in the 21st century for our PMLS1 exam?" Andrew asked.

Clark nodded. "Yeah, I've read through it a few times. It's a bit overwhelming, but I think we can handle it."

Andrew smiled. "That's good to hear. How about the significant concepts between laboratory biosafety and biosecurity?"

"I still need to review that," Clark admitted. "But I'm sure we can get through it. What about you, have you read up on the microorganisms according to their risk groups?"

Andrew nodded. "Yeah, I've gone through it a couple of times. It's a lot to take in, but I think I understand the main points."

As they reviewed their notes, they also talked about their plans for the upcoming mental health orientation. They wanted to make sure that they were prepared to contribute to the discussion.

"Do you think we should share Jana's story?" Andrew asked.

Clark thought about it for a moment. "I think it's important to share our experiences, but we should also be mindful of how it might affect others. We don't want to trigger anyone who might be struggling with their mental health."

Andrew nodded in agreement. "You're right. We should be sensitive to everyone's needs."

As they continued studying, they were interrupted by a group of their classmates who were also studying for their exams.

"Hey, Clark and Andrew, mind if we join you guys?" one of them asked.

Clark and Andrew welcomed them with open arms, happy to have more people to review with.

As they reviewed for their exams, Clark and Andrew couldn't help but reflect on how much they had grown as individuals. They were no longer the naive and unsure students that they were at the beginning of the semester. They had experienced loss and had learned to be more empathetic towards others. They were now ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.

"Hey, guys, I have an idea," Andrew said, breaking the silence. "After our exams, why don't we all go out and grab some food to celebrate?"

Everyone agreed, excited to have something to look forward to after the stress of exams.

Clark smiled, feeling grateful for his friends and the progress that they had made. "I think that's a great idea. Let's work hard and ace these exams."

As they continued to review their notes, they couldn't help but think about Jana and the importance of mental health awareness. They both knew that they wanted to make a difference, but they also knew that they couldn't neglect their studies.

"I hope that our mental health campaign will help someone who is struggling," Clark said, taking a break from his notes.

Andrew nodded. "Me too. But we also need to make sure that we're taking care of ourselves."

Clark smiled. "You're right. We can't help others if we're not taking care of ourselves first."

They continued to study in silence for a while, each lost in their own thoughts. But they both knew that they needed to stay focused if they wanted to do well on their upcoming exams.
