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. 

The Beauty of the Mind.

Well with my neuroscience course just around the bend.. and add that to my love of the arts.. this is a perfect union in my opinion.

Check it. 
NY Times.

Back to School?

I'm getting anxious to back to school -- but looking at these images is getting me a little excited.  Especially the last image.  That is the desk I need.  Back in undergrad, I spend a lot of time in the lib (DH Hill, what up??) and they had these tables covered in glass in which I would spend hours with a dry erase marker going over (and over and over) what I was studying.. so this desk is like a grown-up version of that (and will be CRUCIAL) for med school.

Spring. Fling.

I'm head over heals for these hot pink gladiators.  [free people]

Can't wait for this..

These are the newest additions to the Moleskine collection.. they also have ones for tracking your wine too!

Still not officially out yet, but I can't wait until they are released!
