Good morning! I had a good day yesterday, hopefully it continues today.

Apart from a good sleep, I shopped for my school needs because Surgery class ended early. For today, I have anki, pedia bacteriology and patho OB.

I might go to the gym later, let’s see. I just had breakfast and I journaled while I finish my cappuccino. Time to do some school work.

Hello! Despite time being an illusion I have made some more wallpapers for you! This month I went with a clean, elegant vibe to help you maintain a sense of calm amidst all the chaos.

Some features

Calendars are available in Monday/Sunday start dates

Desktop and phone versions are available (16:9 ratio, but in case you want to modify them for personal use, the colors I used are #000000 and #f9f5f2)

All wallpapers come in light and dark versions

I'm stretched too thin between assignments, tests and self study but it is what it is 😂

Feeling very unproductive these days.

Biochemistry notes ft. the view from my window

[positive-infinity]

Haven’t been here for a while now. Just a quick update: I spent the last 2 months preparing for the licensure exam. I built a study routine and I’ve been studying every day ever since. It hasn’t been easy. I don’t even know what’s after this, but I’ll just try to go through it one day at a time.

I’ve been more active in my study account in instagram. It has been amazing and I’ve found a lot of support from people everywhere. Although, I have to admit that Tumblr still feels very special to me as it contains the rest of my journey from high school to med school. This is still my safe space, and I’m glad I still have this to voice out my thoughts freely.

How is everyone? I hope you are all doing okay 😊

• I have been studying at night because I spend my day painting my apartment walls white (former ugly beige)

• There are bumps and patches but the key is to thicken (!!!) the coat of the paint

• I spend a significant amount of time walking at noon to the hardware store to buy tools for renovation. I almost forgot how much I enjoy walking.

• My limited schedule for studying these days made me more creative — I made flashcards (?) for glycolysis pathway which I will share soon when opportunity presents itself, perhaps when I’m not covered with paint residue
