Four years is a really long time. Four years is a president’s term, the whole life of a preschooler, the length of medical school. If I look back on the person I was four years ago when I walked onto the Hopkins campus, I am amused and amazed. Since I stepped onto the Hopkins campus, [...]
Over the past few weeks I’ve been putting off schoolwork and trying to check things off of my bucket list. For the first time maybe ever, I’ve let myself relax about school, haven’t worried about my GPA, and have ignored quite a bit of work. It feels good though, and with graduation looming just over [...]
As my time at Hopkins wraps up and I enter my final month on the Homewood campus, I’ve been thinking about how much has changed since I arrived here nearly four years ago. While many things about me are different–I’m better dressed (I hope), have added a few piercings, about a foot of hair, and [...]
I’ve been thinking for a while about how, and whether, I want to talk about this. As those of you who’ve read my blog before may have noticed, I tend to stick to simple topics, chatting about how much I love traveling, or what great new restaurant I’ve been to. I always devote some time [...]
As the end of college draws perilously close my friends and I have begun compulsively making lists, just to make sure we haven’t forgotten anything. Four years has flown by, and though I can’t make this year last any longer, I can make sure it’s amazing and packed with all the things I forgot to [...]
While preparing for finals this week, it struck me just how little I’d like to write about finals, and how much more I’d like to chat about some great books I’ve read recently. My lovely roommate Laura and I are amongst some of the very few, 3.4% to be precise, Americans who don’t own a [...]
September is off to a great start! I’ve been in the midst of midterms at the school of Public Health, which are alright actually, because the material is so interesting. Last weekend was a fun mix of activities. There’s a great farmers market just down the road from my apartment, and I ventured there early Saturday [...]
A year ago today I was working at a doctor’s office, contemplating the halfway point of college, and generally worrying about my upcoming 5 month jaunt to Africa. Much has changed since then; this past year has been an exceptionally great/exciting/surprising one. Here’s the re-cap. A few weeks ago as school wound up for the [...]
Hello All, Happy May! As I spoke to my parents last night for our now only semi-regular Sunday Skype sessions, my Dad pointed out that I had precisely three weeks until the first day of my very real summer job. As I was quietly freaking out, it occurred to me that I still hadn’t written [...]
hello, all! happy new year this will be a brief one, as i’m off in the morning to move into my very own off campus apartment with my lovely roommate Laura! naturally i left all the packing to the last minute, so i’m frantically throwing piles of recently folded clothes into duffel bags as it [...]
