I’m back!

After a 5 month absence from the blogging world, I’m officially back! We had our third unit exam today, and after a week of non-stop studying, it feels AMAZING to be doing something NOT related to school.

Quite a bit has happened over the past few months, and I hope to fully update the blog over the next week. We’ll start out with the exciting (and not so exciting) events of today.

The exam was exactly what I expected. Three sometimes painful, sometimes exhausting hours of pharm, path, micro and EBM questions. I tried using ear pluggs for the first time, and it was a total success. The ear pluggs were just sound proof enough to drown out the annoying paper flipping, coughing, and proctor whispering. They definitely improved my ability to focus.

Afterwards, we headed to Phoebe’s for our post test lunch.

It was my first time eating at Phoebe’s, and it was super cute inside!

All of us (minus Christopher who was taking the picture.

I had a cup of the butternut squash and apple bisque…

…and the coconut shrimp wrap.

In other news, I actually did something towards Anna’s exercise challenge today! Anna had the brilliant idea to create a challenge were all of the participants keep track of how much we work out with a goal of 4 hours peer week. Unfortunately, the week before an exam doesn’t’ always involve me doing much other than studying. But, today is the start of a new week, and I’m going to try and make up some of those hours! I did a zumba class at the Dancing Kats studio in Mattydale with Tara, Andrea, Caitlyn, and Nicole. I’ve been attending classes there for about a year, and they’re amazing. When Kat (the owner) teaches the class, you know you’re in for an awesome workout. Tonight’s class was HARD! So hard in fact that Andrea, Nicole and I treated ourselves to Syracuse’s first Chipotle. No quite as good as Boca Grande, but it was pretty tasty
