Happy new year!!!! It’s so incredible that it’s already 2010. I remember watching Back to the Future 2 and seeing their prediction of what 2015 was going to be like. I also remember thinking that 2015 seemed so far off in the future, and now its pretty damn close. Luckily, I don’t think I’ll be getting around on a hover board within the next 5 years.

Anyway, I’ve made several resolutions for 2010:

1. Run in my first half marathon. I have about 6 months to kick my butt into shape. It’s going to involve a lot of getting up early to work out and a lot of healthy eating. Hopefully I’m up for the challenge.

2. Refocus at school. Even though I spend most of my time studying, I really want to make better use of that time. When I’m working, I want to be 100% into what I’m reading and reviewing. I don’t want to get distracted. By being a little more efficient, hopefully I’ll save more time overall.

3. Blog. I blog for family and friends, but I have a little secret. I also do this whole blogging thing for me. It’s the best study break out there! I can sit down, do something completely unrelated to school, and still feel productive.

4. Stay in better contact with friends. I sometimes feel like med school sucks up all my time, and I’m in my own little med school bubble. I don’t want to let myself get totally wrapped up in all of this craziness and let the rest of my life pass me by.

In other exciting news, I had a wonderful new year’s eve and day. Vicki came up to rock in the new year for the whole weekend, and Mike also stopped by for drinks a little later on in the evening.

We started our end of 2009 feast with some bread and oil.

We mixed fresh basil with garlic, olive oil, and an italian blend of spices.

Yum!

I also mixed a ton of basil and garlic into the sauce we were making…

We also used Emily’s recipe for “Melting Snowman Punch” and I got to use my new punch bowl!

Rum, gingerale, and Italian ice.

Besides punch, we also had some wine throughout the evening!

Even though it was one of my more low key new year celebrations, I still had an amazing time. What’s better than fuzzy pants, friends, and wine!?!

Happy 2010 everyone!!!
