Saturday
Left the apartment around 10 this morning. Took the A to 14th street. Went to the Strand bookstore…I was so amazed/overwhelmed! It was really amazing, and if you’ve never been you should definitely make time for it. I got 5 books all together:
A Beautiful Mind
Sex, drugs, and cocoa puffs
Generation: The 17th Century Scientists Who Unraveled the Secrets of Sex, Life, and Growth
...
Self-pity party
Question of the day: How does one go about making friends in a city of 8 million people? I don’t have any friends here. Ok so that’s not entirely true..I have a few but they either a. live too far away/are too busy with life or b. hate it here and go home every chance they get. Don’t get me wrong..I don’t need to be surrounded by people constantly. I love...
Memory
I’m reading My Sister’s Keeper and just had to stop and look up what genes were involved in t(15;17) in acute promyelocytic leukmia..pathetic. PML/RARA! Duhhhhhhh. I can’t believe that I have forgotten basically everything from cancer class. (image via uw)

I am so content with my life right now. Here I am, sitting at my desk in my beautiful room in my wonderful apartment staring out at the george washington bridge. To think that I almost passed this up to live at home and save money—ha! I was really worried about it (it being how broke I’m going to be for the next six months with no income in nyc) but I’ve stopped. I know...
Sorry..my life is pretty boring
Just checking in. Today was day 4 of clinical. Sat at the microscope for about 6 hours. My eyes are not happy about it but I worked on a really interesting case. I get to set-up bloods tomorrow, pretty stoked about that. I hope I don’t mess up. New grey’s tonight. Pretty stoked on that I guess…at this point I would rather watch 2 episodes of weeds haha. It’s really weird...
Skype is underrated
Seriously I don’t understand why people don’t use it instead of iChat?! I used it for the first time last night and was FLABBERGASTED by it’s amazing quality. This was a pointless post (sorry). In other news, clinical is going good so far. Tomorrow will be day 3! I can’t wait for the weekend so I can go downtown and explore
This is gonna be quick
I’m hungry
First full day in NYC in a nutshell
Wake up at 7:30am! Could have slept later I don’t know what I was thinking
Walked to Columbia University Medical center to make sure I know where I’m going tomorrow morning
Put 40 bucks on a metrocard
Waited FOREVER for the 1 train..note to self check subway times before leaving apartment
Got off at 66th and went to bed bath...
Starbucks is getting rid of melon syrup?!
What a BUMMER. Green tea lattes were the best! These other tea drinks sound pretty yummy though.

We tried to give some healthier choices a while ago, but the majority of it was a flop especially the protein latte which we can all agree suhuuucked. Alright folks, we’ll give you some new drinks that are a healthier choice than a bigillion calorie frappuccino and they’ll probably taste...
