At last

I finished the dresser.
Remember this:
Goodwill dresser, $29.00
Well, after many suns, I finally finished it.
Way after!
I will do a proper post soon with maybe better pictures, my camera has been acting up lately. Plus, I still have to style the top. Sigh. No ideas yet on that. Also, I see that my drawers are uneven, they were even when I bought them so back to the drawing board on that.

Cost breakdown: 
Dresser $29 marked down from $59 -Goodwill
Uhaul: $29 (worst mistake ever! never again! more on that later)
Pulls: EBay: 29.55 (yes, the pulls cost more than the dresser, lol. Crazy huh?)
Paint + Primer (which I used on the bed, nightstand and a chair, and still have 1/2 left) about $20. 

I will give this dresser this, it's made of solid wood. I put together my dining room table from Target and I love target but men the difference between particleboard and wood was clear like 7-up. 

That was fun. And I am done for now. I did see this really cute couch at Goodwill the other day for a mere $99...


Just kidding! 
Really, i am. I need to put all this creative energy into words on paper or screen or something.

working and the medical student.

Somehow I've become a writer who can't seem to bring herself to write. Okay, so to answer a question posed by bijouxoxo ten thousand years ago. Is possible to work and attend medical school? My biased answer is hell no. Do it at your peril. Medical school is all consuming. It's a jealous beast that wants the student's mind, heart, time, life. That's my word. There's just so much to learn and so little time in the day. Medical schools are trying to improve quality of life by shortening class hours but nevertheless we still spend at least 6 hours per day in class. Enough analysis, let me break it down but keep in mind that every school is different. First Year, first semester: My courses were Anatomy (time consumer), Biochemistry, Genetics, Nutrition, Physicians Patients & Society (PPS, discussing how to be a doc, ethics, customs, etc, luckily only once a week but two hours long, in the afternoon), Longitudinal Preceptor Program(LPP; follow a doctor for 2 yea...

Cravings--Bed edition

My bed has fallen apart. It unfortunately did not make through my 4 million moves. It's time for a new bed, and I have been craving an upholstered bed since I saw Rachel Zoe's dramatic white upholstered bed on her TV show. Yeah, i know that show was all about fashions but i can't get excited about fashions i can't afford, however, I can and did get excited about that bed! I tried to look for it on the innanets but I can't find the original. Anyway, here are some beds that are similar. 68" Adler Tufted Platform Bed | Upholstered Beds | Restoration Hardware   Z Gallerie-Jameson Bed http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Montecito-White-Queen-size-Bed/6313250/product.html J.C.

2013 already!

I can't believe my last post was in November. Despite my good intentions, December was a wasteland in terms of my writing and life goals. I moved to my new apartment, came down with the flu or rather an influenza like illness, and have just been so blah. The cold weather is not helping either. I really cannot stand the cold, it tends to sap my energy. As always, I have a few goals for the new year. I already feel all kinds of stressed because it is already Janaury 4th and I haven't made any moves. I did do one half hearted workout the other day but it was bitter cold. I could actually feel the cold going through my hoodie, my t-shirt, my skin, my bones and grabbing my heart and lungs and squeezing them to death.  I scurried back home and vowed to buy some winter gear. Total mileage 1.6 miles. Yeah pitiful. My goals this year are simple: 1. Get with God and just delight myself in Him. Ps 37:5. I want to be serious about my walk with God this year. I promised myself last ...
