Hung out at a local Serbian cafe and the coffee and food were delightful.

I’m chipping away bit by bit at residency onboarding requirements.

I’m currently reading How To Do Nothing by Jenny Odell which is excellent, so far I really recommend it!

On interventional radiology this week. It’s cool but my senioritis is extreme by this point and I don’t want to be in the hospital when the weather’s nice. This is my last rotation before graduation. I got my graduation robes in the mail the other day and I’m excited to wear the little hat.

It was my birthday recently and my friends gave me a big bouquet of flowers. My partner got me a new journal and fountain pen. My brother and his girlfriend visited and we showed them our neighborhood, did some touristy things, ate at our favorite restaurants, and watched the eclipse together. It was really fun and really exhausting. Getting back to my usual routine this week has been refreshing and restorative.

Back home after spending the weekend in Los Cabos Mexico as guests for a destination wedding, which was absolutely spectacular. But it feels good to be back in real life! I'm excited to stay put for the next month and get back to my daily routines.

We got our match results!

My partner and I are going into different specialties, and this match result was a curveball; we were not expecting it! We’re both happy and optimistic about the program we matched at!!

I’m excited to start the next chapter. 🥰

Happy Pi Day!

I've spent the week finding new ways to relax before Match Day tomorrow so I don't freak out too much. I bought a little shelf for the bath, a new candle, and some bubble bath from Target and it's doing the trick, mostly.

30nym challenge Day 28: What is your favorite study playlist?

This might sound unhinged but sometimes I just listen to Intro by the XX on loop.

The weather has been so nice lately, so we took a walk to one of our favorite cafes. 🥰

30 nym challenge day 27: What are your non-academic hobbies?

I enjoy knitting, playing piano (although I don't play as much as I used to), playing tennis, running, reading, going to cafes and eating little treats.

30 nym Challenge day 26: What new skill are you learning?

It’s not a new skill, but I’ve been reviving my interest in knitting lately. I’m planning to finish a blanket that I started knitting back in 2022.

I’ve also been trying to get my hands on more Spanish-language media to practice my language skills. I’m currently reading Un verdor terrible (English translation is titled: When We Cease to Understand the World).

Final day of zoom class this week, sooo excited to be done. Hard to believe Match Day is only 1 week away.

30nym challenge Day 23: How do you balance physical activity with your routine?

I exercised regularly until about 2020/2021 when Covid hit, all the gyms closed, and med school started. I got pretty out of shape between 2021-2023. Now that I have time over the next few months before intern year starts, I've started lifting 3 days a week and doing cardio 2-3 days a week, mostly zone 2 with 1 session of HIIT per week. I'm excited to get stronger and improve my cardiovascular health.

Re-learning vent settings and reviewing vent management this morning lol.

30nym challenge day 23: How do you keep your digital workspace organized?

On my phone, I use the different "focuses": Personal, Work, Fitness, Sleep which have different relevant apps on the home screen. On my computer, I just use the regular system of saving things in folders.

Snapshots from my desk this morning. This week is full of Zoom classes & idk how I managed to get through the entire first year of med school on Zoom, even 5 days feels like too many 😅

30nym challenge Day 22: What language are you learning and why?

(I skipped days 9-21 because I was on vacation, and a good chunk of those questions don’t apply to me)

I am learning Spanish, which I already know a good amount — I studied it in high school and majored in it in university, but my speaking skills have deteriorated in the years since I graduated. I can still hold a conversation for the most part but it’s awkward and takes more effort than it used to. So every once in a while I like to read Spanish language books or watch tv shows or movies.

I spent the last 2 weeks in Hawaii with my partner, staying with friends (and their 3 cute cats) who live on Oahu. I’d never been to Hawaii before, so there was something new and interesting at every turn. The weather was amazing and the food was absolutely delicious and such an interesting mix of cultural influences. Eating was definitely one of the highlights of the trip 😅

Now I’m back home and feeling refreshed. Unfortunately I have Zoom class 8 hours a day this week 😭 but I will be resuming the 30nym challenge to stay motivated!

I’ve been home for the past four days and it feels so good to settle into a routine again. We’re leaving for the airport early tomorrow morning, but it’s been good while it lasted. I’ve spent time with friends, gone to the gym, and visited some of my favorite neighborhood spots.

30nym challenge Day 8: What note taking method works best for you?

I don’t really take notes anymore. In some of my undergrad classes where notes were useful, I would use OneNote (or a similar app) on my laptop and then review the notes (annotating and highlighting key points) later in the day/week.

Scenes from yesterday 🥰

30nym challenge Day 7: Reflect on the past week. What went well and what went badly?

Honestly I’ve really enjoyed this week! Nothing went badly. The worst part was the commute to campus for a couple days, to tutor M1 students. What went well: I’ve had so much free time to exercise this week! It feels so good & it’s a privilege to be able to move and be active.
