Fam, Hair, Rio

Now that our anatomy block is done I can finally breathe! We had family dinner studying last weekend before doomsday. Once Tuesday came, I celebrated being done by hanging out with my friend Lina and then going out with friends. Followed by a very expensive trip to the grocery store on Wednesday, something I had not done in months. I ended up having to call a cab because I bought too many groceries that I couldn't carry them home. Fail.

Followed by BURRITO MAKING!

I have been craving Hector's and Cafe Rio something fierce for weeks. WEEKS. So I finally made some bomb burritos with made-from-scratch spanish quinoa instead of rice. I love using quinoa anywhere I can because it is a complete protein and has no carbs, but it will fill you up like rice and is cheap like rice. Win.

Followed by a weekend of awesomeness!

Went out Thursday, stayed in for movie night Friday, My fam came up from DC Saturday and then I went out with friends late, and stayed in Sunday. The weather here turned awful today.... only 50 degrees and rainy all day. Perfect weather for cooking comfort foods and staying in PJs to watch football. Which is exactly what I did today :)

Enjoy some pictures!

CAFE RIO, HOW I MISS YOU!

Dim Sum Family Dinner at school before the final

COOKIE-BROWNIES!!!

Lastly, I don't usually take pics of myself. But I had a rare exception the other day. I had the best hair day possibly EVER. See for yourself :)

The man

LITT-man, that is. My stethoscope came on Monday! Woo! I love it. I love even more that it is PINK.

I guess my tote bag speaks the truth as it shouts "LOVE PINK LOVE PINK LOVE PINK" at anyone who glances. 

I look haggard in this picture. Case in point: Med school can ruin your beauty sleep, beauty routine, all things beauty really. But I am keepin on with my studies. We have a midterm this Friday and I want to cry a little... or a lot. I also want a shake. Like a legit oreo shake that Bre and I would make for girls' night. 

So I was going to post a picture of an oreo shake right here, but when I google image'd "oreo shake" the following picture came up...

Which reminds me that I have a date with the gym at 06:30...eff.

Sweet Cuppin' Cakes

I love cupcakes. and on that note, who doesn't? They're delicious. I was thinking about them today because HANNAH texted me about them. And not just any cupcake but Georgetown Cupcake! YUMMMM. Ok enough about cupcakes. And a legit update on my life. I'm winding down my last Fall semester at the University of Utah. I don't know how to feel about it really. LIZ moves home in Four Weeks!!!    I have my first interview on December 2nd! And by some random stroke of luck, I'm going to be a paid employee at the clinic for the next month and a half!!! (Just in time for christmas money and such a blessing!) So basically....WOOT. Also, it is two days until we go to see HARRY POTTER and OMG I'M SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!! I wish I had time to re-read the 7th book before then but alas, I do not. My past physics TA who went to Federal Prison for stealing moon rocks from NASA when he was an intern at NASA is finally off probation. And throwing a party. I was invited. The most ironic thing about this was he made it an event on facebook and for the photo he used the book cover from the upcoming book Ben Mezrich wrote about him and his "audacious heist". So funny, right? Too bad I'm going to a white trash wedding bar crawl and can't go....so very, very sad. ha.

Free time

You know what rocks? Free time. Time to myself where I can do whatever I want to do. Do you realize how long it has been since I have had free time? Since January. Ew. Does that gross you out? It grosses me out. Tomorrow is going to be quite a long day. I have to administer two final lab practicums tomorrow. Not too excited about that. And then I have grading to look forward to.
I love talking on the phone with Hannah. She cracks me up. I only say that because I just got off the phone with her. Speaking of weed, I saw Netelbeek today and he acted like a jerk. I guess I should not be surprised. Speaking of chocolate, Liz went home without saying goodbye and because I know she's probably the only person reading this I am going to add a big BOO! to that. Ya heard. You know what else about chocolate? I had some super good chocolate at the climber's last night. Yum. Bahaha. I just need to survive until the summer. Summer = sun. Summer = pool. Summer = a very happy Lisa.

PS I had two ice cream sandwiches for dessert. Don't judge me.

Cheesecakery

I love long weekends! I have had a very long week and deserve a break :) I have to grade tests for anatomy, add them up, study MCAT, celebrate Bre's birthday, and do my taxes this weekend! ha guess it won't be much of a break oh well. I miss Liz. She is too far away in Logan. It makes me want to drive up there. And then I remember that I have no money for gas and I no longer want to drive there haha. So love life chronicles are quite boring right now. I will be visiting the skier for Spring Break! The scientist kind of faded in to oblivion and it's definitely for the best. I need a manly distraction right now. I get too stressed out with all that I have to do! hehe. I want to say what I got bre for her 21st on here because she doesn't read this! I got her a cute shirt at forever 21 and also engraved a glass for her at things remembered (props to my boss/girl Nikki for the idea and coupon!)...I hope she likes them! I bought more for myself at forever than I did for Bre. It was sad. I'm making cheesecake for a little birthday get together tomorrow and I need to run to the store for ingredients! I've used a lot of exclamation points in this post!!! toodles.
