I Passed!

After months of preparation Step 1 is officially a thing of the past! I passed my exam and I

can't wait to begin my clinical rotations in 2 weeks!







 

Total Solar Eclipse 2017

Happy Monday! Today was pretty epic to say the least. I made a few phone calls this morning and every location didn't have glasses, but my dad had some! I took a short road trip to Athens, Ga to attend University of Georgia's "Eclipse Blackout 2017". The stadium was packed with students and visitors, it was super hot! They had fun eclipse trivia and t-shirt launchers (I'm sad to say that I did not catch one!). There we're a good number of clouds, but by the time the eclipse occurred we had a perfect view! I finished up the day by stopping at Krispy Kreme and picked up a few chocolate glaze doughnuts, they we're yummy!

Have a productive week!

Psoriasis Awareness Month: this condition consist of papules and plaques with silver scaling, especially on knees and elbows. It can be detected by Auspitz sign (pinpoint bleeding spots from exposure of dermal papillae when scales are scraped off). In addition to the co-morbidities listed, it is also associated with nail pitting, Crohn's disease, and osteoporosis.



Life Lately

 

 

Hello you all! Where in the world is the year going, it's almost mid-August?! I've been busy getting together all my paper work and looking into where I would like to do my track location. I must admit, despite little to no studying right now I still have my morning cup of Joe.

 

Remember to pick up your solar eclipse glasses this week at your local public library (or Home Depot, Walmart, Lowes, Toys R Us, and Amazon) and try Krispy Crèmes limited edition eclipse doughnuts from the 19th to the 21st!

 

~Thanks for visiting, have an amazing upcoming week~

 

When my sister came to visit she suggested blackberry hibiscus tea, it was so yummy and perfect

for this Atlanta heat! Needless to say, it did not last very long!

 Hanging out with a few classmates in the area, all smiles

I was able to visit The Varsity! It's the same burger and fry diner Obama visited a few years ago,

they had t-shirts for sell and everything; the food (and peach sweet tea) was really good.

Gym flow, if you've been following my blog you have a good idea what my

favorite shirt is....its so comfy and goes with everything! #lovemyhbcu

Happy to do some leisure reading at B&N, it's one of my favorite spots to visit when I have free time

 



Yousaf! He was in my corner during my Dominica days; numerous coffee breaks and study sessions, we made it through! We recently had a wonderful time catching up and I was given great advice on my upcoming rotation.

 

 



Heart So Full

Hello you all! I took Step 1 earlier in the week! It was very tough

but after months of preparation I am praying for a positive outcome.

After the 8-hour exam my dad celebrated with me by taking me out to dinner, we had a lovely time!

My sister visited recently and gifted me the anatomy jewelry dish, I absolutely love it!

Dragon is still swimming along, he will be 10 months come September.

I am so fortunate to have such understanding family and friends, my study habits

can be somewhat extreme but their support has been priceless.

I'm so happy I get to enjoy one more month in Atlanta with my parents before starting

my Internal Medicine rotation;

no coffee and waking up at 6am for me!
