I set four goals for November and some of them were so, so vague, so I’m sure anyone into the SMART goals would have some strong words for me. That being said, I accomplished some of them and did not accomplish others, but that is okay. I will try to do better with my DecemberContinue reading “November Goal Accomplishments”

December Goal Setting
December may be a difficult month to accomplish much during, but I am still going to set several goals to try to keep myself on track. If you’ve read previous posts of mine, it will not be a surprise that the majority of my goals have to do with Step studying. Review neurology/psychiatry. This isContinue reading “December Goal Setting”
It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year
Today is the first day of December, which is my favorite month of the year! I love all things holiday, from the lights, the gifts (giving and receiving), and the way people seem to be a littler bit kinder this time of year. Getting to spend time with those I love and enjoying the cheerfulContinue reading “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year”
A Weekend in Self-Quarantine
Today, I woke up with a little congestion and a runny nose that has just gotten worse throughout the day. Any other year, I would say it’s a cold and go on with my life (and honestly, I’m 90% sure it’s a cold this year, too). But since this is 2020, I scheduled a drive-throughContinue reading “A Weekend in Self-Quarantine”
Mid-November Check-in
We are about halfway through both Q4 and November, and I’m super happy to report all of my goals are going well! My proudest accomplishment recently is writing an abstract for some research I had been wanting to do since the summer. I submitted my abstract for a conference I would like to present itContinue reading “Mid-November Check-in”
Looking to November
October has been a rough month personally. For a plethora of reasons, I have been stressed far more this month than I usually am. While I don’t want to wish the last three days of the month away, I am looking forward to the fresh start that November will bring. I’ve been thinking a lotContinue reading “Looking to November”
Q4 Goals
2020 has not gone at all how anyone had hoped. Between a pandemic, police brutality (in the US), an election year (also in the US), continued racial injustice, and so many more events wreaking havoc on life, it’s been hard to accomplish much beyond just day-to-day survival. I want to finish the year strong, though,Continue reading “Q4 Goals”
100 Books of 2020
Last night, I completed my 2020 goal of reading 100 books this year. Some of them were great books; others weren’t so great. 100 books is far too many to review here, but here are the top 10 of those 100 (in no particular order)! The Cadaver King and the Country Dentist by Radley BalkoContinue reading “100 Books of 2020”
Summer Fun List 2020
Every fall, Christmas, and summer, I like to create a list of things I hope to do during that time of year. For fall and Christmas, it’s usually fall- or Christmas-themed activities, such as going to a pumpkin patch or going to view holiday lights, respectively. During the summer, even though some of my activitiesContinue reading “Summer Fun List 2020”
