Student of TCM, with hopes of primary care or OB/GYN. In pursuit of a DO degree but maybe an MPH, too. That’s a lot of acronyms.
“Yeah! Let’s break some rules!”
Gym instructor by day, roller derby queen by night
Oops I drew them in modern clothes…
Rich teens with politically important dads; secret private investigators; fashionistas…
Oh wait, there’s this doodle, too
This is the only digital thing I have drawn recently…sorry! Hoping to get back on track soon.
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.
We had a long day of Neuro today and I haven’t drawn in a long time. I decided it was best for my personal health if I doodled for a bit. Tried some hand-drawn typography???
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 :)
Drew some of my favorite recent outfits, like a “What I Wore Today” thing some artists do. I don’t know if I have a style. Wannabe-urban-punk??
Med school. Trying to memorize things like Toxoplasma gondii, Strongyloides stercoralis, and Naegleria fowleri (of which it is only important to know that you get it from swimming in warm water and it eats your brain. No big.)
Here’s that drawing I’ve been hinting at!
I love Kiki’s Delivery Service. How many other children’s movies do you know in which the protagonist is a strong, independent female who navigates an existential crisis on her own?? Plus, Kiki and Tombo are super charming. Sorry I made them older hipsters…
How I spent my “spring break”:
- Shadowed in Infectious Diseases. Not as sexy as it seems in movies…but pretty awesome all the same. Strep, staph, yeast, endocarditis…and LEPROSY
- The attending pulled a Khmer statue of Alexander the Great from 300 BC that had been exhibited for 30 years at the Met, and started lecturing about Alexander the Great, typhoid, malaria, empyema and Cleopatra…I touched the statue, too! ID is awesome.
- Cooked! Including some deep-fried chicken that made me very proud.
- Napped each day for about 2 hours. Achievement? Yes.
- Watched the whole first season of Mad Men alone, 200 lbs Beauty with Koreans I love (too bad I didn’t love the movie), Chernobyl Diaries with boys, Jurassic Park 3D with girls.
- Finished a pretty cool drawing, which I will post soon…drew a ton of other stuff too!
- Ate frozen yogurt and Cherry Garcia (my friend just introduced me to this magic) on the couch, in my pjs. Hence this doodle. Good, good times.
Essentially, I spent this whole week goofing off and not studying. I barely cracked open my notes once. But hey, it’s not like I have microbiology and pharmacology final exams next week…oops I do
Doodling and looking forward to warmer weather…
