So I thought my next post would be about food again. But sometimes things in life happen when you don't expect them. Today I was reminded of my own mortality from the death of my husband's friend. She was in her mid-20s, in school, healthy, and the last person you'd expect to find out passed … Continue reading RIP

For the Sake of Truth Part 4: Krugman-style
So I had a post idea all set, and then I read the NYTimes, and Paul Krugman says it way better. If you don't want to read the article, here's the gist: 1. Many on the conservative side are now trying to appeal to the logic that yes, President Obama did something good (didn't defund … Continue reading For the Sake of Truth Part 4: Krugman-style
For the Sake of Truth, Part 3: People Do Die from Lack of Insurance
Previously known as On the Offensive...I've been posting these on facebook, but decided to switch it over to my blog. Fact: On Wednesday October 10th, Mitt Romney said that people don't die from lack of health insurance.

Dill Butter and Salad Dressing
It's been a while blog, it's been a while. Apparently medical school is just as time-consuming as everybody made it out to be--shocker! Well, I was a little. I was surprised by how quickly the day goes by, how I will how generally choose studying over everything else, and how quickly time moves. It's amazing...I've … Continue reading Dill Butter and Salad Dressing
What Teach for America Gave Me
I meant to write this all summer. In fact, I meant to write this before I left San Antonio, Texas--my Teach for America home for 2 years after college. But for some reason, I just never did until I happened to see this article on the NYTimes setting up the debate about the effectiveness of … Continue reading What Teach for America Gave Me
Medical School Starts With White
So it's been a while. Mostly because in the past few weeks after getting back from Paris, we've been running around like chickens with our heads just barely still attached. We ran to IKEA, bought all of our furniture, built all of said furniture, dealt with an IKEA delivery mishap (they forgot to deliver one … Continue reading Medical School Starts With White
Politics on vacation
Unsurprisingly, I have been avoiding writing about politics much on vacation. I have read about it, rolled my eyes at it, became over joyed by it, but definitely did not write about it. Why? Because I am in Paris. But there are things happening abound that must needs be discussed. 1. Justice Roberts restored some … Continue reading Politics on vacation
Sight Seeing in Paris + Travel Tips 4&5
The amazing thing about Paris is that you can be walking around and you'll just walk by a random gothic tower, or a pretty church in the middle of the bustling city...the juxtaposition of the new and the old, the conventionally beautiful and the industrial. For example, we were walking to get a falafel today … Continue reading Sight Seeing in Paris + Travel Tips 4&5
Mita vs. the Parisian kitchen
Tout a Paris est miniscule. If my French is somewhat correct, the sentiment I'm trying to get across is that everything in Paris is tiny. The apartment in Paris is tiny, the shower is such that I have to you have to literally turn and slide to get in, and the kitchen makes the galley … Continue reading Mita vs. the Parisian kitchen
Paris and the Internet, Travel Tip 3
Have I mentioned that I'm a fan of airbnb? We found the apartment we are currently staying in with ease online, booked it, locate it, access it, and live in it without a hassle. It is exactly what we expected, with no extra hoops to jump through, no giant rats running around, etc. I've loved … Continue reading Paris and the Internet, Travel Tip 3
