Pre Dental Student | Louis

The musings of a hopeful dental student and his daily blog. Many students, myself included, feel lost during the pandemic as we are suddenly thrust into a completely remote environment. I strive to connect with other people who feel equally lost in these strange times! We truly live in a digital age so might as well take advantage of it!

I need to post more :(

On a side note, got my 1st dose of the pfizer vaccine!

Made some potato croquettes with a beef curry filling (they have yet to be fried)!

I'll let yall know how they turn out.

Ignore that massive one in the back, made a jumbo one for science!

Had a weird dream about having covid. Knocked on wood immediately after waking up lol.

I swear, this blog thing is becoming more of a “take pictures of my food” than a daily blog...

I think I have the brachial plexus all committed to memory, although the 3 little nerves branching off the medial and posterior chords are really hard to tell apart in prosections.

Lunch Time!

Week 2 of my 2nd to last quarter here at Davis flew past in an instant. I'm reaching out to a family friend who's a dentist to start my shadowing soon. I was going to start last year but then covid kinda put a stop to that... Hopefully everything works out since the pandemic is far from over...

In other news, Ifeel pretty good about my NY resolutions so far into January... lets keep it up!

Haven't updated in a few days due to a torrential downpour of material in my anatomy class. The brachial plexus is like trying to identify a ginseng root... It's a really fun class though!

Food time!

It’s been 8 days since I’ve started with my new years resolutions.

1. Sleeping before 1... could be a bit better with this, but I’ve definitely been getting more sleep. Don’t know how long that’s gonna last with this anatomy class (17 units this quarter btw ugh)

2. Exercising at least 10 minutes every day: I’ve been pretty on-top of this and feel pretty good. I’ve gone from barely 1 pull-up/ chin-ups to around 2-3. Hopefully by the time dental interviews come around, I’ll be fit! 

Still a little bit on the heavier side due to a sedentary covid lifestyle but cooking for myself and exercising should help out a bit!

Today I had my first day of anatomy lab with real human prosections. It was pretty overwhelming since everyone was furiously taking notes while under a torrential downpour of new terminology. Anatomy over zoom is NOT FUN, trying to orient myself to see where the muscles and stuff are in relation to each other is annoying.

First day of anatomy lab, already overwhelmed

Okay, I am slowly getting the hang of things. Literally spent 4 hours messing around with HTML and trying to get things to work. I guess that 1 quarter of C++ kinda came in handy... I am truly getting the comp sci college experience. When something doesn’t compile, google and stack overflow time! I’m still learning and getting used to this site, please don’t hate me if I’m breaking tumblr etiquette!

Well well well… Here goes nothing!

I always wanted to do something like this. Diaries and stuff never worked out for me but I feel like this online format will be an interesting change of scenery.

Man does covid suck. Day after day of sitting in my room without social interaction besides voice chatting friends is really soul sucking. My mental health is in a rut right now. Hopefully tumblr will be an avenue for me to vent and relate with other college students out there!
