i talked to a friend about life plans. f said that i should meet my future significant other at age 28. it's so complicated tho, b/c i'm not sure if i want kids before residency, or after. for f, we talked about how he had an upper age limit for his SO, but not a lower one. bad...

what would have been perfect is if i had my first kid during my PhD before third yr of med school, and then have med school change its policy so that we didn't have overnight call, and then have my second kid after residency. sigh, it seems hopeless to even think about planning ahead.

so complicated.

i think i had a big breakthrough in lab today. it seems too good to be true, i kept on rechecking my notes. now have to think about what's coming up next.

making homemade peanut brittle.

note: a big shout out to mslee, person of the week! :) hope medicine's going well. try to keep from punching out an attending, ok?
