February passed by in a blink of an eye. Mardi Gras was both invigorating and exhausting per
usual… but it was exciting to be amongst friends who have never experienced it
before. The break from reality was nice
but it’s definitely time to crunch down and get back to studying. Below is one of the floats from Endymion
(parade in Mid-City) and another from the delicious Mardi Gras meal my uncle
had spread out for his open house on Tuesday.
St. Anna’s continues to be a worthwhile institution to volunteer
for. Priyanka and I have been tutoring the
kids with homework and serving dinner. We
even got to help them make masks out of red beans for their Krewe of Red Beans
march on Lundi Gras. KIPP’s library remains
in a perpetual state of transition and we are happy to help be a part of that –
who knew it would be such hard work organizing a bunch of books.
The program is coming to an end and it is bittersweet. It is comforting coming to the medical school
every day and seeing all these familiar faces.
The pharmacology program has provided an incredible amount of information
in a short period of time, it will be sad to say goodbye. Still waiting to hear back from Tulane’s M.D.
program and the future feels uncertain.
My fingers remain crossed.
