Thoughts

1. Don't compare yourself to others, you will feel inadequate and far more mediocre

2. Coffee + hot cocoa gives you superhuman powers

That is all

Sloppy

I should be studying, but I'm taking a break to post up these lovelies... I wish I could wear heels to school, but that is totally unpractical so for now I have put aside the platforms and 5 inch stilettos :( That doesn't mean I can't lust after these gorgeous shoes though :)

Asos

ALSO how awesome is this ring?!!?! I WANTS!

BCBG

Alright back to studying.. toodles

Week Ends

What have I been feeding myself?

Every morning I have a bologna sandwich... That is at least 14 sandwiches... sometimes I eat while I'm packing my stuff, changing, in the car, walking to class. Portable and filling... Most of the time I will cook on anatomy lab days, which sounds gross but it's usually because I'm too brain dead after lab to do anything really productive. So I cook, clean, run errands, or occasionally blog :) Since I've run out of frozen home cooked meals I've been buying premarinated meats, adding a vegetable and voila dinner and lunch for the week.

Ex: salad and teriyaki chicken

On Friday there was an MS1 MS2 banquet, which was fun.. People showed up drunk from the party bus and partied it up. If this is any indication of the wild escapades that will take place after every module exam, san antonio better watch out!

Spur of the moment online purchase at 4:30 in the morning. The jacket is a two layer chiffon material and it is PERFECT! Besides being a little wrinkly, it is so fun to wear. It is light enough to wear outside in the blazing texas heat, yet still warm enough for the library. Also I love the color, I've been really into blush pink tones, you can't see but my nails are a matching color.

Kimono jacket: Urbanoutfitters

Shorts: AE

Tank: Gap

Necklace: Forever21

Today after lab I came home and made BBQ chicken and potatoes. For the potatoes I just covered in olive oil, pepper, salt, and paprika and stuck everything in the over. Potatoes, why are you so easy and delicious yet so high in carbs!!!! :( Anyway time to study.

ADIOS

Time For Fun

Barely midway through the week and I feel like it's been a thousand yearsss... okay exaggeration, but it's been a long week. I felt extra girly today wearing this somewhat full, pink, frilly skirt.

Sweater: JCrew

Tank: Gap

Skirt: Zara

So today during a study break I perused the directory at the La Cantera outdoor mall. I hope to plan a trip possibly tomorrow?! (We get a half day tomorrow wHoOoooOo) Anyway it definitely rivals The Galleria. The only downside... is it's OUTDOORS! who's bright idea was that..seriously, it's texas. Anyway the reason I am so excited is that it has UrbanOut, forever21, AND a ZARA! ohmygah along with numerous other stores that I heart.

Before I left houston the last time my parents packed me a bag with all the ingredients for canh cai..which they said it was impossible to screw up. Basically the bag contained cai (vegetables) and dried shrimp. I boiled water and the shrimp.. and threw in the veggies with a sprinkle of pepper.. and ta da haha

Leaf necklace I got from urbanoutfitters. It actually opens up like a locket....... Unfortunately I have no pictures that are leaf shaped.. haha

Anyway time to sleep.

Breakkk

What did I do this weekend:

1. zumba

2. After a nice workout a few classmates and I went downtown to an event called First Friday. The first friday of every month a sort of art fair/stands of handcrafted goodies are sold on the streets. We hit the streets and immediately scoured the area for food. In the end we didn't spend much time exploring, instead we spent the majority of the night at an ice house called The Friendly Spot.

3. After 11 PM, we decided to roll out and hit up Bonham Exchange, the most happening gay bar/club in san antonio.

4. Fast forward to 230 AM, I am locked out of my own apartment, not because I forgot my keys btw.

5. 4 AM instant noodles

6. 4:30 AM online shopping

7. 5 AM snooze...

On Sat I tried out a tapioca/hookah place called Suck It San Antonio... boba was alright not quite up to houston standards but it will do. I hated how the place smelled like hookah and didn't have enough tables, def won't be studying there.

The summarized outline is the result of 1 full week of med school. I am shorthanding everything and cutting out the fat.

The rest of the weekend was filled with studying... In 3 hours today I covered 202 exam questions, that blew my mind.. I felt nonfunctional after cramming so hard.

This video was post below by one of my classmates, I love it!!! I sorta feel this way now....

Christmas Again!

I've opened so many packages this week, it feels like Christmas! Today was my FIRST real anatomy lab, in which I helped dissect the back of our cadaver. As I am typing this I still reek of formaldehyde, phenol, and prob isopropanol and whatever else they throw in the embalming fluid. YES, I have showered.. and yes the smell is that permeating that I still stink. The other day I bought some safety glasses and cheapy shoes that I wouldn't care if they got ruined and I'm sooo glad I did. Fluid and fatty tissue were flying everywhere!

Anyway I also got these reeeeeeeeeaaally comfy shoes above, also from target cause they were like $7... the cost of a lunch! They feel so good too.. I <3 boat shoes haha

Today I received 3 packages. What a sweet surprise. I thought I wasn't going to get my anatomy atlas for another week cause it shipped all the way from india..

Also I'm in love with my deep purple stethoscope. I got it engraved all professional and errrthang. :) I assumed I was going to pass and graduate medical school, hence the Dr. title hehe. Anywayyyy I'm super tired from leaning over the dissecting tank all day, we were in the lab for probably 3+ hours. I'm spending my downtime blogging.. so I need to start studying soon. More to comeee :)

Feeling Good

I make new frans!! JK I do however feel more comfortable with my classmates now. I'm starting to get a feel for the people I should and shouldn't hang out with and those I should and shouldn't study with.. I've brought my lunch the last two days, we pull out our lunches and sit around the table like we're back in middle school. Med school is fun :) err I mean I don't want to kill myself yet. Today I had biochem... AHH makes me want to pull my hair out, that is one class I know I won't be attending. I'll most likely listen to the recorded lectures at 3x speed. Also had some more anat. and embryology.. I don't think I've ever been this excited to get my textbooks. Then we had 3 hours of mind numbing histology.

blah blah blah, more importantly what did I wear?

Sooo... I got complements on my dress by 3 guys and no girls.. thought it would be the other way around.

I take my pictures right when I get home after sweating my butt off and waiting for the AC to kick in.. so excuse the sweaty face.

I was supposed to go to a Women in Medicine Reception tonight and this is what I decided to wear.. before I decided not to go... I got it from the buffalo exchange in austin..thrifting isn't my thing though. The dress is nice.. The sleeves are different... but I kind of like it. Yesss in pictures they look like shoulder pads, but they're like draped interestingly. Anyhoo I'm going to yoga tonight and then staying in all night to study.. WHO goes out on a weekday anymore.. :(

Farewell

Day One

My first official day of medical school. It was not as terrible as it was made out to be. YES I am behind already.. but it wasn't anything I don't feel like I can't manage if I tried my best. I got a good night's rest, 6 hrs. and 40 minutes of sleep.. I hope to not see that number decrease. My goal is at least 6 hours of sleep everynight, I don't function well when sleep deprived.

Shirt : Urbanoutfitters

Cargo Skinnies : JCrew

Button up shirt : JCrew

Octopus cuff

Scrubs : Health Science Center

This is me trying on my overly oversized scrubs... WHY no XS?!!? better yet XXS! I also put on my badge and filled my pocket with extrafine pens :)

So we went to the anatomy lab today (right before lunch..awesome!) and met our tank mates (group members) and our cadavers. We start dissecting thurs. It's a little hard to believe but I hope to do really well. I think the person with the highest grade in lab gets a prize.... haha it's like elementary all over again. Anyway I'm simultaneously eating dinner while blogging to make the most of my time. I am about to hit the books, but don't worry I'm aliveee!!
