Note to self: Do not sit in the library for 9 hours straight, watching lectures, studying biochemical enzymatic reactions, and memorizing spinal nerves, with only a protein bar for sustenance and no human contact. This is what I did today, and by hour 8, I was hallucinating and losing all sense of time and space. Lesson learned today: take breaks from studying to eat real food and interact with real people, not just molecules and spinal nerves.
My name is Kendra and I am a newly minted doctor about to begin my residency in Psychiatry at The State University of New York Downstate Medical Center in Brooklyn, New York. I attended Ross University School of Medicine, and went through my basic science training on the Nature Island of Dominica, hence the name of this blog. I am a life enthusiast. I talk to strangers, cut the tags off of my pillows, and I don’t carry an umbrella with me because I prefer to get wet.
