[talietales]

Welcome to my blog!

I haven't done an introduction post before, but have recently revived this blog so thought it would be nice to get to know others in the studyblr/medblr world!

Call me: Talie (she/her)

Currently studying: 1st year medical student in the USA. Studied biology and East Asian studies during university. Interested in family medicine, ophthalmology, and pathology (but who knows what will happen!)

Content I post: Photos of my study setup, maybe the occasional text post, reblogs of other studyblr/medblr content

Languages I speak: English, Mandarin Chinese, Korean

Hobbies outside of medicine: Video games (currently playing Baldur's Gate 3), working out, spending time in nature, cooking, playing guitar, journaling, writing postcards and letters to friends (what this blog used to be about), patio/apartment gardening

Send me a message about anything school (or non-school) related, I'd love to get to know mutuals! My original posts can be found on my page tagged as #mine.

Studying in nature before summer goes away 🌳

Why are almost all the study blogs also like girl bloggers or have a super clean aesthetic? Where are my chaotic and outdoorsy study blog girlies?

thursday | february 5

woke up and headed straight to my favorite coffee shop – i'm hopelessly behind on at least half a dozen things, but this orange oatmilk mocha makes it all seem a bit less dire.

pulling a nightshift, definitely running out of time & only staying sane because I’ll be in Croatia in 95 days

Your goals won’t achieve themselves.

Not doing much lately, just organising my life again and again and again.

Arctic library at polar noon 😇 -16C°. I have officially written so many research proposals and cover letters for candidate applications that, attached back to back, it would be longer than my master’s thesis 😅

⏱️: 5h 15m

i love a good library session but sometimes the state of the books stress me out. surely there’s some training or things to tell students before letting them checkout books that are falling apart?

to do:

appendix of 日本現代文学全集94

start reading through 「肉体の文学」

quote translations
