Ultimate Coffee Date: August 2015

Hi everyone! I’m linking up with Coco @ Got 2 Run 4 Me, Lynda @ Fitness Mom Wine Country, & Deborah @ Confessions of a Mother Runner for the monthly Ultimate Coffee Date! Pull up a chair/bean bag/whatever you like to sit on and come link and/or catch up with us! :]

If we were having coffee/tea this morning…I’d tell you that…

STUDY HIBERNATION HAS OFFICIALLY ENDED!! <3

I took my boards licensing exams yesterday, and hopeeeeefully everything went well. For now, I’m just going to bask in the fact that I am DONE with the written portions of my boards until somewhere in my first year of residency!

I am now also officially off “vacation” (which was really just spent studying), and will be driving to Pennsylvania tomorrow to start my very first audition rotation!

My nomadic lifestyle hasn’t been bad at all. (In fact, it’s been pretty glorious, and filled with all sorts of delicious food!). In our downtime/study breaks, my friends and I been satisfying all sorts of Pinterest curiosities.

For instance, this Oreo donut.

For instance, this Oreo donut. <3

I like to think that if I need to find a roommate during residency to keep costs low, it won’t be toooo hard. (As long as we both share a love of food!)

If we were having coffee/tea this morning…I’d tell you that July passed by crazy-fast. I never even shared my July 4th celebrations because I posted my last coffee date before it happened! We went to my dean’s house to partake in amazing food, deliciously-themed desserts (she’s magical when it comes to crafting and the like–you should see her Skittles cake from St. Patrick’s Day (bottom of the post)!)

If you follow me on instagram, you’ve probably already seen the delicious food + festivities already, but…if you don’t, here they are!

If we were having coffee/tea this morning…I’d tell you that I’ve been keeping supersuper quiet about this for no real reason, but…I have two interviews so far to two programs that I really like! <3 <3 <3! I sent in my applications ~2 weeks ago, and they responded almost instantaneously. I am all sorts of ecstatic, and I really hope that they go well + that they like me as much as I like them!

Cue that contained happy-dance!!!

For the record, my happy-dance has been of a more contained variety ever since the age of 7, when I accidentally smacked a lady across the face whilst jumping for joy.

The toned-down version happens now whenever I find something that makes me happy, and let’s be real–it doesn’t take much. Delicious food is a given, and apparently, it’s contagious!

F: I like that you do a happy dance when there’s good food!
L: I learned it from you!

    I have a happy dance, but I’ve never caused bodily harm doing it. I’ve a couple of things I’m excited and hopefull about, but ya know me, I don’t ever talk about it until it’s done. Also, not all of this is 100% concrete, some is still in the idea and/or early plan stages.

    1. Thanks so much! :D I hope they go well! *-*

  17. My fingers are crossed for you for all 3 of your programs. Glad your hibernation is done! Your food pics are amazing!

    Entertaining my 15 year old niece for 3 days. Exhausting!

    1. Thanks so much! <3! I'm super glad that study hibernation is finally over--it's so nice to get to interact with living things again! :P

      Ah, definitely understandable, but it looks like you're having a lot of fun too! :D!

  18. Exciting stuff happening for you! I am sure your test and your interviews went fabulously and you will see wonderful results. I do not have a happy dance really but my “dance” if you can call it that has been know to hurt some people lol. I tend to get out of hand during rock concerts and most people have learned to just back the heck away! Have a great week Farrah! Happy vacationing/studying!
