I'm alive. but barely.

School is really taking it out of me.  I have lots to update on.  Clearly.  But. Here's how it's going in a nutshell.

last legs of physiology and histology.  4 exams for 2 classes in 2 weeks.  med school kills me.  sleep is overrated.  I guess.

love y'all.

My neighborhood.

I'm experimenting with my new MiniDiana+.  It's really fun, and gives me an excuse to wander my neighborhood taking pictures in this amazing weather.

..and yes I'm alive.  just procrastinating before my exam tomorrow.  Updates will come one of these days.

To My Husband. [A Blog]

So I stumbled upon this gem of a blog, To My Husband.. basically a ref to the future of do's and don'ts, and things we as appropriate adult women will also do in return.  It's genius, and sums up all my close friends in a nutshell.


Here are my favs.

Check it.

As if Cooper wasn't spoiled enough.

Cookies for Canines. [The Kitchn]


This is actually much better than actually cooking for myself.. guilt free baking, say whattt.  

Exam week.

Busted.  3 exams back to back from Wed-Fri.  This is my life.  Holler at y'all when it's overrr.

Powder Puff Football 2010.

We played the T2s (2nd years) in powder puff football on Sunday.. and it was as ridiculous as it looks.  Of course we won, and Coops was our mascot.. and what was even more impressive were our cheerleaders!  It was a little chilly, but a great way to spend the day outdoors!  Love my class.

This day. 1941.

These images are so moving of Pearl Harbor.

Alexa Chung + Madewell.

Love her and this store. so much.  And she's teamed up with them for some of her fav picks.  Check it.

 

Sketchbook Tee Dress.  I love a good shirt dress.  Or rather.. on me.. this is a shirt.  But would be stellar with leggings, no?

Cotswald cardigan.  This looks so cozy and warm.

Griffith suede bag.  Love this vintage style.

Pintucked panel dress.  Not on her list.. but I adore it.

Music is my boyfriend.

If you've been around me at all over the past year or so.. you'll know that more times than not I can be seen studying/wandering/etc sporting my latest giant headphones.  Since studying is now something I do more than sleeping and well.. anything else.. and I'd rather be in my music than chatting away to everyone about nonsense (which sometimes with med students in general has to do with classes.. and their general gunner demeanor.  hello anxiety.  I'll pass.).. I've opted for a switch between my previous ear buds of college to some higher quality headphones.

I started with these:

 

Skull Candy.

After about a year.. those were retired (against my will) for a pair of Sony black ones (New Orleans is somewhat lacking on their electronics stores.. and Walmart had slim pickings..).

And when I'm ready for a new pair.. I'm checking these out.  Dopeness.

Marshall.

Roc Nation Aviators.  Skull Candy. 

New hobbies.

I think I can really get into this.  I would love a classic camera like these to roam around New Orleans with.  Maybe in 3 weeks when this block is over.
