I think it can go without saying that it's been a while since my last post. I promise that it has been a very busy time in the life of every M4. Since the last time I wrote, I completed several rotati...

It's June apparently. The past three months have passed in a flash. It was still March the last time I wrote, and a lot has happened since then, including sub-internships, the last ever board exam tha...

On February 17th, I took my last M3 shelf exam. I feel that I can finally believe it now that it's written down. After 10 months and countless hours on the wards and studying, I can finally say that M...

On six out of seven days every week for the past few weeks, I woke up and headed to the VA (Veterans Affairs) hospital before the sun came up. I generally didn't mind, though some mornings were harder...

It snowed this week. I couldn't believe it. I was at the Student-Run Free Clinic, and from the window, I saw snow falling to the ground. I'm still not entirely sure why this was surprising, as this is...

Hello and happy fall! It's actually starting to feel like fall now. The mornings are chilly, and the heat feels much less oppressive. I saw a few leaves changing colors, and there is apple cider every...

Hello again! It's been a while since I last posted, so it seems like it's about time for an update. We're now 8 weeks into rotations, and life couldn't be busier or better.

Two posts from me in one week. Crazy, right? On this, the eve of my official entry onto the wards, I thought I would take a quick moment to reflect on the past year. I've experienced a lot and learned...

I think that to say it's been a while would be an understatement at this point. It seems like I fell off the face of the earth, and it actually kind of feels like I did too. Since February, I complete...

It's the beginning of February, but it feels like spring. The mid-40s weather is a welcome change from the sub-freezing series of days we've had recently. It's been nice to thaw out a bit, and I have ...

Happy New Year! The end of each year and the beginning of the next always causes me to become a bit sentimental. Somehow, this rather arbitrary marker always makes me stop and think about where I am a...

Happy Thanksgiving and end of November! I feel like I blinked and almost two months have passed. They have been a very busy two months, where we wrapped up renal, had two Clinical Foundations of Medic...

Happy fall and hello kidney (we're in our renal sequence)! The school year was about to start when I last wrote, and I feel like it has been non-stop ever since. After finishing my summer research (te...

When I woke up this morning, I realized that there are just over 3 weeks until M2 year begins. The recent weeks have been full of public health research, exercise, travel, and relaxing. It has been re...

Hey there summer! It's hard to believe that summer is finally here. The last few weeks of school were busy, but there was also time for some fun.
