flowers, fondue, and frannie the frog!

med school

today in anatomy class we all got half naked and drew on each other w/ markers. very educational!

[edit]
here’s proof that i wasn’t exaggerating.

if you ever need your appendicitis diagnosed, feel free to come on by (if you need anything else diagnosed, don’t look at me)!

and… while i’m at it, here are a couple of other pictures from this weekend.

ok… that’s it from me for awhile! i’m officially grounded until 10/15. must pass biochem!

good-bye dinners

to anyone planning a move in the near future, i share w/ you the wisdom of my own experience… this is a great opportunity to score some free food!

in my last week in the bay area, i managed to score not one, not two, but three good-bye dinners.

dinner #1:

maggiano’s w/ the four girls (tuyen, tiff, erin, and vickie) who kept me sane at work over the last three years.

dinner #2:

totoro’s w/ my favorite salseros (jon, melissa, peipei, and eric) before heading out to alberto’s one last time.

dinner #3:

cascal’s w/ my bestest laaaaaaaaaaaaaadies (melissa, phebe, frannie the frog, sophia, resa, and wangela).

all joking aside, i’m so glad i got to spend time w/ everyone before taking off for school. thanks so much for all the great memories, and keep in mind… sacramento is not that far away (especially compared to kentucky)!

best present ever

my own pcd hoodie… just like in the buttons video! now i’m exactly like nicole (minus the hotness and the talent).
merci, philippe! =) although, really… is it a good thing to be encouraging my obsessive/fanatic tendencies?

and finally… my crazy traveling schedule comes to an end (at least until july… when we hit vegas for elaine’s bachelorette party)!

dublin

greetings from the emerald isle!  after a sort of rough first couple of days, i’m happy to report that i’ve finally gotten over both my jetlag and my horrible cold.

work is going pretty well so far… everyone at the office is super friendly and i sit on the french/spanish floor, so there’s plenty of eye-candy and cute accents for me to drool over. i’ve also already managed to trick people into taking me out dancing a couple of times.

ponpon came to stay the weekend, so i had a partner in crime for hitting up all the tourist sites!  we saw…

the guinness brewery

dublin castle

stephen’s green

st. patrick’s cathedral

and howth

looking forward to another few days here before moving on to london! unfortunately, i’ll only be there for ~48 hrs, so if you know which london spots are the must-see/must-do, definitely let me know!
