post neuro exam 2

I'm going to be sneaking away this Thursday...i am quite excited to be studying on the beach on Friday...



Today (Wed), everyone woke up with allergies! It's so sad! Ben and Mike are nearly drowning but when I spilled tea on my computer Ben gave me some of his towels (tissues) to clean it up! so nice. So I got him some real tissues hahaha

I am quite excited because I just found out I can apply for funds from my medical school to support my trip to Ecuador this summer...yay! (fingers crossed and praying bc that would be awesome!)

I've realized pretty recently that I have been moving waaay fast over the last year. Through major events and people alike. So I told myself to just slow down and live in the moment. Not to be constantly planning what's next but just be happy in now. ...that's going well so far :)
Also, I've realized that I have matured a lot over the past year especially in how I view men and relationships. Interesting stuff.

...oh and by the way, as soon as a girl stops trying, it seems that boys start coming around...not in any strong way but let's just say hugs are nice.

check out these cloud cookies!!

Bueno

p.s. I just have to quickly amend my last post. said ex in that post is dumb. and so i've resolved to act like he doesn't exist...hahahaha things that are much better than silly boys: (although its still fun to chat with the cute ones!)

Having a Global Health meeting a lunch & remembering what an amazing opportunity I have to be a female physician and work to do good(...i have already had waay more opportunities to do whatever i want to do than say a girl born in rural Nepal who is not able to go to school because she has to work the fields and help raise her) siblings

Suturing pig's feet & learning how to set up IVs, NGs tube and urethral catheters!!

Red Wine Sangria Recipe

Tulip Fields!!

p.s. from Animal Review: "Furthermore, when honey bees sting, they release – along with their venom – an alarm pheromone5 called iso-amyl acetate that, curiously, smells like bananas. The pheromone is a chemical signal for other bees to attack. Because if there’s anything killer bees hate more than felt flags, it’s a non-banana that still stinks like a banana. It just makes them completely insane."

When you bake a boy a cake...

...you will wait two days for him to pick it up before you cut into it. you will realize how silly it was to bake a double layer, delicious chocolate cake. and put it in a baking box so you can carry it. and decorate it with marshmallows because he mentioned that he liked them. and at midnight, with some vanilla ice cream and wine, you and your two wonderful roommates will eat the moist chocolate cake. and you will be happy. and remember that boys are dumb and not to pay them too much attention.








...and you will wake up the next day & go to class with a new founded determination to just focus on school. on much more important things. and JUST then your ex will show up everywhere you go (out of nowhere). Great....

my life was soo much easier when my ex decided to not go to school or visit the outside world for the better part of a month...now for some strange reason he's decided to rejoin society and thus i see him at school again...so this morning went more like this:

wake up waaay too early.
shuffle into class.
listen about viruses and neuroscience and cerebellums that look like clams.
try to pay attention.
check every website that i can think of.
try to pay attention.
10 min break. go to the lru.
class.
break. walk around.
pass by him. he tries to say some clever way of saying hi.
i smile back a hello. sigh.
go back to class.
try to pay attention.
think about eating my lunch while the professor talks about 3 lobules.

...seriously not too different from my usual days minus the smiling and sighing...sigh. i was pretty happy with talking with my friends/ cute guys and not having to be effected by a boy when he walks into the room no matter how much i try not to let him effect me. darn.


good things:
girl talk at midnight with some wine
horses around hay barrel at 8am
strawberry banana yogurt
virus lectures
pretzel fish (always a win)

Pandas get an F
an excerpt from the above website, about jellyfish:

"Comprised of about 95% water (and 0% brain) jellyfish can be found in stable populations throughout the world’s oceans, from top to bottom and also in freshwater. And there are at least 2,000 different species. And they accomplished all of this without the benefit of an iPad. Impressive."
