I am sorry for being.. the worst. Life has been good. Busy. It seems like I have no time because when I do have time I really should be studying (always). But the truth is, I do have time. I see my friends, I go out, I walk around the city. So I guess it's …
I haven’t forgotten about you, blog.
I am so sorry for being a horrible blogger!!!! (Thanks to a friend for the friendly reminder). Life has been busy, but good! We have 3 exams next week, yes THREE. One covering Biochem, Micro, Immuno, histology. One is our Interviewing practical, and one on Epidemiology and Bio statistics. PUHHHLEASE. This is probably why my …
3 exams down!!
On Saturday morning, I had a mental breakdown. Tears. Rolling down my cheeks. Will was here, and the poor guy probably thought I was crazy. The rest of the weekend passed, I took my exam this morning, and I think I did pretty well. Phew. I would have never imagined that I would be here …
Happy Columbus Day!
A break! Finally! (well, sort of). I love love love three day weekends. Mine was very relaxing. I caught up on laundry, grocery shopping, cleaning, and finally made it to that yoga class I've been trying to attend since... the start of school. My best friend's little sister is visiting from Colorado, so we took …
A day I’ll never forget
This past Thursday, I interviewed a patient on the psych ward struggling with extreme depression and attempted suicide. I don't want to go into too much detail, but it was something I never thought I could do, and I did it. This kind of feeling happens in medical school quite often, and it hasn't even …
2 exams down, no time for breathers
So the exam came and went and I already feel behind. How is this even possible!? I did well on my exam 🙂 (phew) but they really don't want to give us a break. We started Microbiology and Immunology on Tuesday, and got rid of Genetics and Cell Bio for good! (well, until Step 1 …
The weekend before an exam…
pretty much consists of studying consistently until you can't take it anymore. I think I've hit my threshold for today, might try and give it another go later tonight. (i did go out with friends last night and may see some other friends tonight- yay for balance!) Today was actually ridiculous when I think about …
SO MANY LECTURES.
Doubting my brain's ability to stuff all of this stuff in it. Test in T - 7 days. Will be dreaming of pathways until then. blahhhhhhhh
An amazing weekend and my thoughts on relationships
Sorry for taking so long to post! Last week got really busy. I went to visit my boyfriend in Maine this weekend, so I worked extra hard to try and free it up! Last week was pretty typical. Lots of class, a bit of interviewing, and a ton of studying! Thursday night was a nice …

Mindfulness
Today was interesting. Aside from our normal Foundations classes (Epidemiology, Genetics, Biochem), I attended two "special" programs. (Note: a lot of classes in medical school are NOT mandatory. All of the lectures are recorded and not going to classes is not necessarily frowned upon if it works better with your study habits. I still do, …
