I think about death
Through my youth and even today, I picture scenarios in which I die. I'm not sure if this is 'normal' but I would be, for example, driving along side to side with a big rig and suddenly I would imagine the big rig crashing into the side wall and it would crash into me as a result. Or I would imagine a tree branch falling on my head during a windy ( Read more... ) -
Free Food and the Poor Student
(I've made a new blog, and put this article as the first post. Enjoy!)
There's one thing that rings clear in a medical students ear. Do you know what it is? It's not "Saving Lives" or "Patients First". Neither is it "Universal Healthcare" or "Team Spirit!". No no no. The two beautiful words I'm mentioning are "Free Food." And we'll do basically ( Read more... ) -
A filling weekend
Another eventful weekend. On Saturday some buddies from Western, Julie, Michelle, and I went to Body Worlds 3. It was amazing! It definitely brought the nerd out in all of us. Robert actually brought his Netter's Anatomy book and they compared picture to life. I was impressed most with how they were able to preserve all the blood vessels of the ( Read more... ) -

Then the next few days we're easy going but I needed to get back to studying. and motivating myself to study has been soo difficult ( Read more... ) -
Dr. Ashis Brahma
Today I made a decision. Being a medical student, I have my studies and everything else. And studies come first, or at least that's what I've been programmed to think. Today I was sent an email of an opportunity from my collegue Anita. It was asking whether I would be interested in being involved in organizing a talk from Dr. Ashis Brahma, a Dutch- ( Read more... ) -
I miss Fridays like this
I miss Fridays where everything is so perfectly spontaneous and fun. Michelle and I went to eat El Salvadorian food with Linda, Ingrid and her friends in Santa Ana. We all had pupusas (I love this word), which was my first. I love how El Salvadorian and Mexican food are so simple yet so damn delicious! Just good, cheap eats and conversations with ( Read more... ) -
I'm alive!
I survived the three week marathon of exams and I've been slacking around ever since. This week is such a relief. I fully felt medical school's wrath and I guess you could say it was an overdramatic stubborn dragon. So this is what medical school is all about. 18+ hour days, mainly of studying and going to class. Coming early. Leaving late. Getting ( Read more... ) -
