everyone got SOCKS for Christmas
and then preceded to match a bag of unmatched socks stored in a laundry sized bag that.
First one to match 5 pairs won 20 bucks! It was a very joyful morning Dad received pants, while my brother got a bar of soap. Though these presents may seem lame, the act of opening a present in itself is ritually symbolic. My parent’s efficient method is that we open a simple present or two, then...
Automatic FAIL on my first driving test
..when I touched the curb while pulling over. I had no idea that touching the curb counted as a critical error. I actually use the curb when I park to see if I am close enough! Oh well, that lady might have done me a favor. She also marked me down for turning the wheel too much while making turns. I’m a tiny gal, so my mother did the honors of placing a pillow on my seat so I can...

I randomly found TEDMED and am now listening to a guy who has developed non-invasive surgery via ultrasound. It’s like I’ve stumbled upon a hidden treasure trove.

Med school/ Interview questions = …..so, what makes YOU so fucking special?
Strong preference is given to in-state residents, but out- of state residents are encouraged to apply = we really want your secondary app fee $$$.

I shadowed a doctor last Thursday
…and got to wear a spare knee-length white coat!!!
You have no idea how humbled and thrilled I was to walk around wearing one! I definitely closed my eyes and envisioned myself in the same coat in the near future.
