Cuts in the SNAP (food stamps) program … Continue reading NYTimes: Cuts in Food Stamps Force Hard Choices on the Poor

Chocolate-What-You-Got-Cookies
The clumsy cook indeed. Apparently the forgetful cook as well. I went hiking with a lovely group of ladies from school earlier today and forgot all the things in two different cars. Well, really just my glasses case and my phone. Sounds okay, yes? But NO. I was NOT okay. I was actually surprised at … Continue reading Chocolate-What-You-Got-Cookies

NYT: Supreme Court Strikes Down Key Part of Voting Rights Act
I haven't felt motivated to write as of late. Call it medical-school-imposed myopic focus, call it laziness, call it lack of inspiration--whatever it was, I found something that bothered me enough to write again. In a foolish move, the Supreme Court knocked down section 4 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Not surprisingly, it … Continue reading NYT: Supreme Court Strikes Down Key Part of Voting Rights Act

Articles 1/7-1/13
So earlier this week we had a mandatory physician advocacy meeting at 7AM. I grumbled and whined about having to be at school at 7AM (never mind that I'm up at 5:30, but to leave my house at 7AM?! The brutality.) Either way, it was pointless griping for the sake of it, because that needs … Continue reading Articles 1/7-1/13
New Year, 2013
I could...write a really long post about how it's been over a month since my last post. But that's been done. What have I been up to? Medical school. Surprise, surprise--it's busy. A bit busier than expected. I'll sum up a few things I've learned: 1. Medical school is busy-making. 2. Stonyfield Organics Chocolate Ice … Continue reading New Year, 2013
