04.07.21// Today’s The Day Friends. My Last Full Day Of Editing My Thesis Before Sending It Off To

my first track meet of my senior season is coming up this weekend :’) wish me luck! if any of you guys run track, which events? i usually do mile & 2 mile. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ posted on Instagram - https://ift.tt/32QHhgg

Fresh ciabatta, fat cinnamon doughnuts, locally roasted coffee, and Mary Oliver poetry.⁣

I treated myself after my (artery) ultrasound at one of our locals.⁣

While choosing my bread, I heard someone nearby saying “I’m at the point where I don’t feel fulfilled if I’m not getting a package everyday in the mail. It’s so bad” and if that doesn’t describe lockdown life and mimic how I often feel, I don’t know what does 😂⁣

why does life always throws one thing, making u believe ‘ah i got this’, before it pours out everything it has in store for ya all at once? like, okay 0.o

taking notes on a free ancient egypt course on coursera! the longer i’m out of college, the more i wish i could go back and sit in a lecture hall again. i miss rapid note-taking and learning new things.

small update: new writeblr @analogued so i can dump words when i need to release them :)

Midterms here we go 😦 gives me a lot of chances to take notes tho haha

“The Roman genius, and perhaps the Roman flaw, was an obsession with order. One sees it in their architecture, their literature, their laws — this fierce denial of darkness, unreason, and chaos...” — Tartt, The Secret History

01.01.2021 | 2020 has been difficult, for sure. I worked as an Operating Room nurse for a few months before med school started. it was full of personal wins, but also loses. I got accepted in my dream hospital right after passing the board exam, worked my dream job, accepted in med school, but I’ve also lost patients more than I can count, heard cries over unimaginable hospital bills, and encountered grief and challenges more than I was prepared for because of the government’s incompetence.

so I tried my best to sort out my life— scrub in surgeries while going to med school interviews, advance study for the incoming sem, stick to my routine and schedule, et al, to feel in control of the things that are in my hands. Perhaps I’m no different than the Romans— in my fierce determination to deny darkness, unreason, and chaos. to provide some sort of structure in the midst of uncertainty.

2020 has been difficult, for sure. but 2021 will—should be different. 2021 will be prosperous, full of hope, and better things. there may be loses too, but I’m rooting for more good things than the bad.

you did good this 2020, and you will do better in 2021. we all will. happy new year, everyone. :-)
