The White Coat... and Bananas!

So this post is more of a quick update and long overdue pictures from the white coat ceremony in the first week of school :)

Looking professional :) I think that at this moment I started to say to myself  "this is real. I am becoming a doctor!"

Okay. Here's the exciting update...

So remember when I posted about the relaxing weekend my roommates and I spent two weeks ago? and how we went grocery shopping? Well, Pooja and I bought a bunch of bananas and we were extremely proud of our purchase since they make for a great healthy snack! 

WELL it's been 2 weeks and the bananas are finally ripened! I had the first one today :) Yes, I know, probably not as exciting as you hoped for, but these little things really make my day. (especially since we went through a huge ordeal of wrapping the bananas in paper bags - which are impossible to find on this island - and then wrap the bag in a cloth and place it outside in the sun everyday at lunch time!) After all that work wouldn't you be excited to finally be able to eat one?!

quite lame, I know; but probably not as lame as our nerdy anatomy jokes we come up with in lab. THAT will be for another post entirely!
