Last day as an M1

These are the beautiful flowers I saved from an early end when I was quite literally the only person studying at school this last weekend...but it paid off when it came to my exam & I kinda had a lovely time too. I took a break with dinner to photograph the place I've lived at for the past 10 or so months. I also got the chance to take some more jumping pictures :) yay!








Dear Life,
I hope that you never cease to surprise & amaze me. Thank you for the past year, my first year in medical school. This morning I realized that my life is completely different than I thought it would be but it's also awe-some. Thank you for Giulia & Jessica and all of my friends and family. And thank you for the chance to become a doctor. I'm officially an M2! And summer has officially begun, the last & most appreciated summer of my life.
Love you,
Lydia, M2.

Going study crazy in lh2...

Do note I was studying antipsychotics...possibly for self-medication. jk!...So I still have two weeks of med school class left. last class was today but I still have 2 major tests...and i'm soo bored/tired of studying...so close to summer! I'm living for an ice cream break with Giulia at 9:30...

You know you're a nerdy medical student when you read NEJM for fun...

Save the Turtles!

Maybe I need to buy some peonies...

Peanut Butter, Cinnamon & Chocolate Chip cookies! ...they are/were delish!

A cat, a burrito, and a bowling ball...

...just kidding, no bowling ball but some awesome new pots instead!
Today, my happiness costs about $50...hahaha but I am super duper happy!!!

For the next 3 weeks, we have an orange tabby at our house. His name is captain kittypants, but I just call him the captain. He is currently residing underneath Jessica's bed until he figures out what to do with the dogs.



I'm going to grow tomatoes!! And a succulent (eg like a cactus)!
I bought these beautiful new pots, a "husky cherry tomatoe" plant and a __ moonglow succlent. My goal is not to kill them.




And tonight I had Chipotle for the first time in foooorever! I kinda love chipotle but forgot this. So now I'm gorging on a chicken burrito (without sour cream but with corn = win), a bag of chips, and my new love, a sparkiling blackberry IZZE soda. Seriously. I'm in love.

== this all makes for one suuuper happy Lydia.
