Life lately

I had every intention of writing a proper post tonight, but now it's 11PM, and all my words have gone to bed. So I will let my photos (and captions) do the talking...

I titled this Green Monday on Ig

Mum bought me a dress in England 

[blurry] Boyfriend modeling his first suit! 

Nat planned a going-away party for me (even though I still have a month before I move )

Nat got a hold of my iphone

The gold-clad cups really added an element of style to the party

New [yesthankgodmoreballerinastyle] shoes. Thanks, eBay.

I can almost hear my crazy, dictator-esque ballet teacher chastising me for my poor turnout. Yes, this is what I did at work today.

Bye~

I'll leave you with this gorgeous little lady that found a new home at Boyfriend's house :)

Silly summer of frivolity and fun!

 As my upcoming academic pursuits approach, I come to the realization that I'll have far less time for frivolity in my life. This saddens me. (Don't get me wrong, I am excited to learn serious things too, like you know, saving someone's life.) It is this realization that has spawned my summer of silliness and fun. Bonnaroo was a great start (post to come, I swear!). My [soon-to-be-ex] roommate / [always and forever, I hope] best friend and I have a party planned for tomorrow. I just have to get through this day at work and this helped....

I stumbled across some awesome t-shirts over at bustedtees that I wish I could buy, if only I had more of that silly green stuff. I'm sure t-shirts will become a wardrobe staple for all-day classes and labs (much to my chagrin), but if I must rock casual, these tees would certainly bring a grin to my stressed-out face. 

 For Dave:

For Natalie:

 

A couple of these might turn into gifts, so shh! don't tell them, k? Thanks.

Also, if bustedtees wants to hook me up with some or all of these shirts, I would rock that shit all over the interwebz. Just saying, hit me up!

Status quo +photo dump

So stressed. So broke. So much change coming.

.....Rap music dominates the atmosphere. I sit on a broken, stained futon in an apartment I'm not sure I'll be in a week from now. I just had appetizers from a mexican restaurant that declined my debit card. Thank god for my parents' emergency credit card. You'd think that as a 24 year old medical school freshman that I'd be a bit more ahead of the curve than I am. I'm starting my medical training in a month. I'm starting a new life in a month. I'll be on my own in a month. I've been on my own for four years now, but I can't help but feeling that my training wheels are being stripped away after this month.

I hate myself for briefly thinking, "I wish I had a husband. I wish I had someone to take care of me and make these big picture decisions and transitions with for me." I have friends that are already married with children. I don't envy them most of the time. Most of the time, I say, "good riddance." But sometimes, times like this, when I feel like half an adult, I envy them. And the woman's movement shudders.

I will be a doctor one day. I don't doubt it. But will I truly be successful?

More 'roo! (seriously, you're gonna want to read this upcoming post) 

Work face.

Coming down the pipes!

New things! There are new things coming down the pipes, people!

My life feels like it's completely up in the air, and I've been in such agony that I think I've reached my limit. I can no longer obsses about it. "Que sera, sera. Whatever will be will be."

[In case I never explained, I've applied to medical school, attended interviews at my two state schools, and am now in limbo, waiting to see if they'll accept me for the fall.]

I'm still planning on moving, hopefully to new orleans, even if I don't get in, but who knows what the hell I'll do with another gap year. Work? Get my masters? Party? Probably a combination! But I'm trying not to focus on plan B yet. Trying to keep believing!

But in the mean time... I've decided to open up an online shop to sell all the thrift store finds I continue to accumulate! :)

After comparing etsy, ebay, and other similar online selling sites, I've decided to try my hand at etsy. So keep an eye out, people! I need your support xoxox
