Looking at images of histology slides is so peaceful somehow. DiFiore's is an absolute work of art.

In the rush of work that comes with medschool, awe and wonder often lose their due - going to remember to make space for this now on.

The more you focus, the more relaxed you are. And only when you relax, can you truly focus.

Find the balance!

June// Forest App

Just started using the forest app because of all the medgrams that recommend it so highly and mannn do I love it

Here's why:

1. It is very VERY gratifying to watch your virtual tree grow as you study🥰

2. Killing my trees to use my phone for useless tasks is somehow unacceptable (not a plant murderer)😇

3. The fact that the stop button says 'give up' is the kind of call out I need to never hit it💪🏼

4. The cute leetul motivational messages are sooo wholesome❤️

10/10 recommend to anyone who needs to curb phone usage during study hours

26/April//The "noble" cop out.

While calling our healthcare workers heroes, what the government's lack of preparation has proved is that to them, we are merely sacrificial lambs. Calling the profession noble is only a way to distract from the incompetence of those who have the power to make sure it never needs to be.

17/April//Saturday// In the face of a war-like situation against a virus, with so many lives being altered forever, and so many deaths- the postponement of an exam is a relatively minor derailment of plans. We won't know how this pandemic changes our generation till it's over, but it's become a certainty that it will change each and every one of our lives.

Transitioning to summer from the earlier spring; the tabebuia rosea outside my window, and the wall inside my room, give me joy as the heat turns up both literally and metaphorically.
