New Beginnings
Dear Viewers,
It's hard to know what to say when you conclude one activity that you've enjoyed, but I'll try to put it into words (this is a blog, after all).
Marathon Days

Grey's Night
Just because we're going to become doctors doesn't mean we don't have an appetite to passively watch an overly dramatic portrayal of the profession. ABC sought our 18-35 year old niche and tada: Grey's Anatomy!

We've been in class one week, but I feel so...tired. Yet I've learned that my fellow students are feeling the crunch too. Here's a few misconceptions I've uncovered from my first week of classes.
