o hey! a vlog!

hi friends!

so, here it is: another vlog. 

if you're a longtime follower, you'll remember that back in the day i was prone to making video blogs. i felt so silly doing them, but i received overwhelming feedback that was 95% positive and 5% [good natured?] heckling. so, alas, two [two!] more:


45 minutes later . . . 

the main idea, if you decided to skip my blah blah blahs, is that i'm running a 5k this coming sunday for the first time in 10 years. i'm doing it to support a cause you already know i'm passionate about: ensuring equitable and accessible health care for all americans. you can read more about it here. i don't love asking for donations, but it is easier when it is for a cause so common-sensical as helping people to stay alive and to thrive. 

alright, it's chili time so i've gotta bounce [because apple forced a terrible update on me at the last minute, i was unable to update my running playlist and was stuck with the running remix on pandora featuring p diddy, flo rida, and awolnation among others]. 

talk to you sooner rather than later, i promise.

p.s. i also promise some more light hearted posts in the future! horray!

as a delaying tactic:

here are a few shots of my ever adorable dog and some of the flowers that actually grew after i planted and nursed them to life over a few months.

 
basically, have a gander at things i've been able to keep alive for extended periods of time. 

knock on wood.

because i love this shit

via
so, i've been somewhat busy. 

i took a few months off from life to study for the board exams. it was a long few months. maybe the longest i've had yet? i had to keep reminding myself why i was working hard [see above]. 

then i took the test, completely blacked out [did i really take the test? did i pass out halfway through? i have no idea!], then started school for the year. what i found was that i really, really love this medicine shit. 

yay!

my june

right now i'm studying for a big big exam. well, not right now. i'm distracting myself with a blog post. to be completely correct, i'm taking a study break from studying for a big big big career altering exam. it has been exhausting - but then again, so has all of grad school so far. 

it's all making me a little looney. in one day, i can oscillate from being super over the top excited about the possibility of doing well to chest-pain-and-panicky-dread about how i'm definitely no question about it 100% going to fail. the mind games i'm playing make me wonder how the average student holds it together - what are the tricks to being motivated, focused, and effective during a [seemingly] nonstop parade of marathon study days? and furthermore, how does one make room for things like cooking dinner and walking the dog and trying to get in shape for a 5k?

i guess the first step is to go study some more. 

xoxo,

k and an irritated e
why aren't you paying attention to me?

what's happening

i am: 
dogsitting a boston terrier named dudley. is eleanor happy about it? you tell me. either way the old lady needs some proper canine socialization, it's obvious.
enjoying the ever loving daylights out of peony season. i cannot resist them when i go to whole foods, even though they are two dollars a stem. it's the little things in life. right? RIGHT? especially when i am studying and studying and studying some more. gotta go listen to some more edward goljan, the ol goof. send patience vibes my way. 

xoxo, 
k, e, and d

go sadness

i'm in a golden age
a great calendar page
i spotted the right time
the future is mine

i got the greatest dog
the best of them all
i love my brother
he's on my wall

bye bye car keys
hello sparkles and flies
i keep them
they're mine

I saw the brightest light
It was the most wonderful sight
And I spotted the right time
The future is mine


bye bye car keys
hello sparkles and flies
i keep them
they're mine
