Oleku

I love that song. 


Can't believe my time in Mia is slowly but very surely drawing to a close. I have spent most of the time I have left in a study haze. I have been living, breathing, and finally dreaming boards. By the end of the week, I would be so exhausted that I'd just sit on my couch doing absolutely nothing. My plans to visit the beach every sunday fell by the wayside. My workouts became very non-existent. All I had left was food, cooking became my creative outlet. 


Hopefully all that focus will pay off on that very fateful day. I still have some gaps I hope to fill in by the end of this week. Mainly inborn errors, genetics and random stuff like that.

I really don't want to leave Mia. But it seems almost inevitable. In my moments of heartbreak, when I was in my twenties, I'd imagine myself in a desert town with a baby daughter with two afro puffs. Truly. So who knows maybe my subconscious spoke el paso into existence. Although my desert was somewhere in the state of Arizona. Don't ask. 


Meanwhile Mia has been showing off. Saw the most prettiest beginning of a sunset yesterday. I took a snap with my phone but I was unable to do the sight justice at all. Pretty orange peeking out from behind the white clouds. Love. 




Before I leave here,  I will capture a beach sunrise and sunset. Alas, I have no view, no beach, no bay, not even a river in ELP. My apartment faces a stone wall.  Yeah I chose it but dang.

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...

Ojo Monday

As I opened  blogger to write a post, the song ojo Monday jumped to my head. I mourned my unbacked up and crashed ibook immediately. I have so much music that I've lost. I haven't heard that song since 200something. I didn't even remember who did it which is a damn shame cos am a Fela stan. Anyway, rushed to Youtube to find it. They didn't have it, but there is a band called Ogun Afrobeat that did a pretty decent cover considering they don't even speak the language. Turned out it's called by its English name: Monday morning in Lagos: Anyway, all that to say it's Ojo Wednesday and I hope I survive. I worked out yesterday with my trainer. My arms are looking nice per him and me. Am still a bit weak though as in, I don't have much stamina for certain exercises. Anyway, time is already fast spent. I have to go for my jog and yet again I didn't edit my playlist. Why do i procrastinate so! PS. Turns out that I do have that song, must have bac...

Pinterest Cookbook: Recipe 2 -Cannellini & Cabbage Soup

Source: fitnessmagazine.com via oluyemisi on Pinterest This turned out to to be very easy to make, and quite delicious too. Of course I modified the recipe. I added onions to the cabbage, carrots and garlic mix and sauteed that with black pepper and curry. I was generous with the black pepper because it is freezing out here and I need to warm up. Also, I'm battling a bit of congestion.  I used a mix of beans, garbanzo and cannellini, and also added tomatillo and celery. I think I was too generous with the tomato paste, I had a can that I had opened for the black bean chili so I wanted to be done with it so it wouldn't be a waste. It took no time at all to cook, I made this after work on Monday, and it was good and filling and comforting especially after the hectic day that I had.
