Posting as if I never left- that's real. Here's a roundup of my February so far: 🍦I'm halfway through my uworld question bank. I do feels like I'm going slower than usual, and this frustrates me, but I'm giving myself grace as a I am a full-time student. 🍦Halfway through my postbac! I feel like I'm having a pretty good time in my small classes. I finally did SDS-PAGE and western blot this month, and I'm gonna do qPCR next! 🍦I visited Pike Place with my friendw again because someone had to leave overseas. Very heartfelt moment and had a lot of fun! 🍦Made Valentine's Day cards for the elderly- 200 of them! 🍦 A patient gave me Valentine's Day pins they made as a token of appreciation, which really made my day 🍦Visited Uwajimaya to see there are so many new pens! 🍦On the more serious side, getting therapy of course. I got a new phone recently because mine is old, and it's a way to break some habitual cues. #studygram #stationery

Wow, January has been SOMETHING. TRULY. I have been diligently studying for the MCAT (again), and it's nice being able to have an accountability group this time and wake up early to get in my flashcards (JS and Pankow). I just gotta be less chicken about doing passages normally again and keep up my stamina. I went to the Bo-en x Kikuo × Gus Bonito concert downtown after a volunteer shift, and I had a really nice time! You can tell I really had been crying in the club (good way) with my disoriented singing in the background of the second video. It was really cool to see and meet Kikuo too! I have been a fan of his works since middle school, and I know his discography on the back of my hand. Some of my favorites he played included Reincarnation Ascension, The Girl who Brings Misfortune, Breaking Things to Pieces... ok, literally all is good. As for classes, they have been going well- I just gotta grow my bacteria more efficiently. I've been getting lots of medical school application support from my postbac. I shadowed a pain medicine doctor too!! On the iffy side of things, a lot of the mistakes and my compulsions from the end of last year propped up many-a-consequences that I have to deal with alongside my current state. lol just keep pushing. #studygram #kikuo #vocaloid

Alright pals, updates on life: I'm still trying to find more expansive clinical (last minute-ish) experiences to up my patient interactions, but on the good end, I'm gonna be able to shadow a chronic anesthesiologist this week! I'm excited! More pain medicine less goooooo On the other hand, I have been making good progress on my MCAT- I have finished all of my standalone UWorld questions, and I will begin redoing them soon. I have flashcards of all the questions I got wrong in which I will hang in my room. I have finished the JS biology ANKI cards, which gave me the fastest review on physiology known to man (aside from kidneys but a video can remedy that). The gameplan is to go over my flashcards and then patch up my weaknesses in-depth. I have my first full mock exam with my postbac cohort on the 20th. #studygram #cafe #food

More tree photos because no one is stopping me 🎄I chose to blur out the photocard because it's confidential. The butterfly sticker helps lol I have not started classes yet, but I have returned to work. I have finished my biology deck of ANKI, and I need to work on biochemistry now. I need to do more UWorld in the meantime. I hope to get all of the standalone questions done by the end of the week. #studyfram #bujo #journaling #bulletjournal

Cheers to the new year! Yes, I'm still on winter break before my postbac starts up again, so I'm still gonna use the Christmas tree. I have a couple of Sanji cards I made I did not use yet, and I really like this illustration the manga author did (though I'm not entirely sure if the coloring is official). I have a lot of sunset stickers, so everything came together rather well 🌅 I'm looking forward to 2024 as I have so many unknowns I have yet to uncover in which I cannot predict- but they're all exciting unknowns. I'm hoping I can be successful in the medical school cycle coming up!!! #studygram #bujo #bulletjournal

It's a coquette cake for the soul. Even the addition of ribbons on a mini-cake with frosting that will surely give me acid reflux has captured my heart. Ribbons always make things better huh? I've been studying all throughout this week for the MCAT, and I decided to use JS instead of Milesdown for biology memorization... wnd wow, the content is dense... I hope I can get this stuff done before the quarter starts up again... 🎂 #coquette #studygram

It's the holidays, and I feel kind of sleep-deprived because after a family member came down with covid, I celebrated Christmas in such a non-regular way. Usually, I would be out and about or doing things like drowning those hot chocolate snowmen from Trader Joe's (and getting acid reflux thereafter)... I really just went nuts ANKI by day and marathoning One Piece by night. Christmas oddly felt like just. December 24th and 25th. Not complaining though it was a ride in its own way. #studygram

🎅 Merry Christmas Eve (to those who celebrate it)! This is my little dessert today because I ate way too much savory food (Thai food) today. I have photos and videos to show of that later. I hope you all are having a good one. Tomorrow, I'll get to eat more, but I also have to continue with my MCAT flashcards as usual 🎄 #studygram

Studying for the MCAT and people not being aware of you being a premed is quite the combo. You become the master of coming up with the most left field excuses. Yeah, there is a lot of reasons why I don't tell people about me being a premed a. I don't want it to deteact from my personality because yeah, whether you like it or not- there are certain attitudes around it b. lol the application process is so uncertain. I rather just be my normal self rather than that part of my identity eat up the rest of me. Cause one day that's not gonna matter but your personality separate from your academics/occupation will. #studygram #journaling #bujo #bulletjournal

I really liked IVE's I AM comeback, and you can fully tell I printed and made this spread earlier in the year. Today, I started working with my MCAT virtual study group to hold myself accountable this winter break, and I got a lot done! I usually don't work in groups (depends on the subject) back when I took my undergraduate classes, so I'm amazed how much we did today. #studygram #bujo #bulletjournal #journaling

I'm chugging along with UWorld once again, trying to get this done in the next 2 weeks because I'm a madwoman. Gonna wake up early for a group meeting tomorrow, but I really just want to sit with my thoughts for some. My brain needs some peace and quiet from all the work I've done today. #studygram #journaling #bujo #bulletjournal

I don't even know how many winter breaks I've had on thie platform... 5? It's been a lot. I'm gonna go full bootcamp mode these weeks as my new strategy for the MCAT is dialed down, and I'm ready to go after some preliminary touching-the-water-of-the-pool for temperature. Been making good progress. I'm going to exercise more as a way to take breaks because I need that. That's just my goals this time. Nothing else really aside from really building my stamina for the exam. Oh yeah and eating well too!! #studygram

It's holiday break you fools- in true TCS tradition, I'm busting out the $6 Christmas tree, so my feed is gonna look extra different ahead. Am I excited for break? I dunno because I'm gonna be STUDYING for the MCAT. Again!! AAAAAAAAAAA #journaling #bujo #bulletjournal #studygram

Had a good first week of school 💙 I still have a couple of tree pictures left that I should have posted awhile ago, but it's still winter over here so why not. My biochemistry class has been picking up greatly in content, so I have to start creating flashcards this weekend. I've been trying to figure out what things I should reflect on here 📃 #studygram #studyblr #vstudies #bujo #bulletjournal https://www.instagram.com/p/CYcQ-KWPWe4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I have been writing a ton because I have been writing this story with my friend since last year. Also, I'm going to be online for the first week of the school year, so that will be interesting. . . . #studygram #studyblr #vtsudies #bujo #bulletjournal https://www.instagram.com/p/CYKlV1KvoAZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I really enjoy these goldfish stickers from @daiso_usa; it gives such a unique look to these pages of orange and black 🧡 I have been thinking about my New Year's Resolution from this year a lot, and I did say back then that I wanted something super broad to live by and see if would stick better than something concrete (my manager at work inspired me to do this). My resolution for 2021 is to face my fears, and I never forgot. I did so much I would have never imagined to do before, going to therapy, hosting workshops, teaching a whole string of lessons, etc. This constant reminder did me good, but this also pushed me to do the irrational as well. The reason why I tumbled my way into realizing I needed help came from interpreting my resolution in an unhealthy manner. Hence, that was the reason why I talked so much about how ambition can be a destructive force over and over and over again. Could not get that out of my mind. Once I found myself on the path that fit me, I gained more than I have lost this year. I'm excited to set something new for 2022 👍 . #studygram #studyblr #vstudies #bujo #bulletjournal https://www.instagram.com/p/CYAl-cclesq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Christmas is o v e r. The year goes by so fast it's kind of scary. I was looking all of my practice recordings for singing over 2020 September to now, and I'm so glad I got back into singing. You can get a lot of improvement in for one year lol It helped to expand my weak head voice A LOT. I keep saying I want to get back into recording covers, but I haven't had the silence to do so though 🥲 . . . #bujo #bulletjournal #vstudies #studygram #studyblr https://www.instagram.com/p/CX9bFRdvdOr/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
