What did I do today in medical school? Acting exercises:
Besides pretty girls and fat cats, skulls are easily one of the most common things I draw. My friend requested a “secret wall tattoo” with a Southwestern theme. My mind went straight to sugar skulls, rattlesnakes and cacti. He also asked for a cow skull so I threw that in there. And, of course, to fill up space, my go-to: art nouveau arabesques. End result was more morbid than anyone expected…
3.5 hours, pencil and Sharpie marker on a wall. I was paid in bacon-cheese scones. Worth it.
this is the most incredible sound that has ever graced my ears
for the actually well-adjusted ‘day crowd’
Current obsession. On repeat as I study neuroanatomy.
I just want to show you guys I’m alive! I spent the previous week doing Medical Humanities stuff (theater, creative writing, art, etc) and now I’m spending a week at home doing research. By research, I mean enjoying mom’s cooking and napping on a mat in the grass under a cherry tree.
But I don’t have my tablet at my parents’, so I’m posting a preview of something I started as a medical humanities project and still working on…
for good measure
Since finals, weather over here has been gray, gloomy and sad. It’s been getting me down. I haven’t been feeling like doing anything. Can’t even draw…But doing fun things with friends—watching new movies and Jeopardy, playing video games and board games, hanging out—makes everything better :)
The Correct Way to Open a Banana
HAHAHAHA I just learned this yesterday, in our Bioterrorism lecture, of all places!! Of course, the lecturer’s point was to emphasize open-mindedness to new possibilities and ideas, no matter how fixed we are in our ways…Anyway, just thought I’d reblog to preserve that little memory from class.
(BTW I have my finals tomorrow. I’m scared…)
