| A care package from Mike came today– among its contents was this warming blend of green and white teas! |
Day 49: Reflecting at 7 weeks in

 |
| This weekend was another round of sweats and studying. My primary focus was on anatomy and microbiology. |
Day 34: What’s your type?

 |
| Thanks Friday interviewees for leaving us food to eat after our MRSA TBL today! I took home this melody of goodies in the salad bowl! |
Day 25: Photos from the week, First Aid and preparing for the storm
Today’s series of inane images [I felt bad about the sporadic updates this week…so I reward you with many random pictures from my life!]:
 |
| [This was from last weekend.] I was in heaven in Duarte because there are like 5 donut places within a mile of Mike’s apartment. I’m not kidding. I guess that’s a good reason not to move out there… I’d be twice the size. |
Day 24: Everything, all at once

| I am proud of how quickly I put together this board, and designed and ordered the t-shirts in time for tonight’s Women in Medicine event at Beaumont Hospital, Royal Oak. |
Today was a blur of… seemingly everything all at once. Operating on < 9 hours of sleep in total for the last two nights [while some people seem to be able to function on 4-5 hours of sleep each night, I need at least 7 to feel okay] made it difficult to study for our mini-TBL today, let alone take it [good thing it was straightforward!]. We also had a quick AMWA meeting to discuss the Women in Medicine event in the evening before heading to a very long pathology lecture, followed by a rushed [and hushed] epidemiology lecture. Thankfully, our epidemiology lecture ended early and I did not have to speed like a madwoman from the OU campus to Royal Oak Beaumont.
Day 20: Making this work
Today’s inane image of the day:
 |
| Even while on “vacation” in California, I need to keep up with studying! At least the sun makes every subject so much brighter and more fun to study [plus, it doesn’t hurt to have Mike around to keep me smiling!]. |
Greetings from the Starbucks in Duarte, California! You didn’t think I’d forget about you during my extended weekend, did you?
Day 18: Do you have a Beaumont doctor?
Today’s inane images of the day:
 |
| I just thought it was too funny that my textbooks take up at least 1/3 of the space in my carry on luggage for my trip to L.A. tomorrow. Oh, the life of a medical student! |
Day 12: Getting the ball rolling

 |
| I feel like free advertising for water companies… anyway, I was just admiring how important water is to feeling your best! |
Today was quite an exciting day because we had our first official American Medical Women’s Association [AMWA] at OUWB [click on the link and “Like” us on Facebook!] meeting and it was a huge success! We had a great group of motivated women and men [yes! we do not discriminate by gender!] contributing to the discussion and we have set our elections meeting for this upcoming Wednesday.
I’ll keep you updated on all the great events we have.
Day 5: An exercise in Team Based Learning

No white coat is complete without a name badge! [I’m a bit unhappy with the fact that one of the edges is yellow… I think they need to change the ink on the card-making machine!]
