Ultimate Coffee Date: May 2017

I just don’t know how you squeeze it all in with your busy residency! But you are almost done with your first year! Hooray! It’s been fun being on the journey with you.

I’ve really enjoyed your travel pics on IG! We used to live in England and visiting Scotland for long weekends was one of our favorite things to do. We met people there who have become life long friends. I never tried bullet journalling but I’ve seen it everywhere lately.

I loved reading about your experience in med school. I’ll be going to grad school in July and its 900 miles away from where my parents live. I don’t know a single person in Minnesota so it’ll be a new adventure!

I totally agree with you – some people you just click with and you know that you have a special bond. Prayers for your patient/friend!

I haven’t tried bullet journaling but I do have the Passion Planner…I’ve slacked on it the last few weeks, but when I’m using it, it really helps me get things done!

I’ve never tried the bullet journal, but I bet I would like it. I’m a to-do list girl. The satisfaction I get from checking things off my list might be borderline obsessive ?

Such a beautiful post. Lots of important questions and reminders!

I love that this patient took the time and effort to call you and talk to you. Even if others feel grateful, too, you’ll never know because they’re not telling you. And I think medical personnel needs to get this feedback so badly. With the crazy hours you work, this is probably the most rewarding thing.
50 hours feel like “less” now, huh? Good for you. ?
I wish i could be that friend to get coffee with in your new city. ☕️ Feel free to message me for a chat. Just mind that I am 6 or 7 hours ahead of you.

I read a post about bullet journalling, and it sounded complicated. Create a monthly calendar, a weekly calendar, daily a to-do list, a list for this, a list for that, priorities, check, blablabla – who has time for this? Are you doing it?
I like to stick to simple apps I already have. Calendar, Evernotes. One of the most valuable these days is “reminders” on the iPhone. You link tasks to locations, and it’ll remind you to purchase cashew butter when you approach the health store! So convenient!

I used bullet journaling for several months but it just took too much time for me – because I need all the lines to be straight and all the layouts to match and blah blah etc. ;) I switched to a Passion Planner because the monthly and weekly layouts were similar to how I had set them up in my bullet journal, plus there are a bunch of blank pages in the back for all the random lists that don’t belong in the calendar.

its been cray cray busy on my end and im traveling to Nepal next week!!

Been meaning to type this out on Saturday, but you know how life goes.

-So what’s been going on with me? Shucks, I currently have a cold and am burnt out (again) from work. But it’s pretty bad this time, to where I’m finding every excuse to not go in the office. Unfortunately I can’t just do the bare minimum since I have all these responsibilities in a pseudo-supervisory role. Between attending and staffing jobfairs/resource fairs, performing my own job fair, handling my ever expanding caseload of people who want jobs, conducting trainings, and generate reports on all of this. I’m also the resident IT person (even now I’m trying to work around a problem happening at work, heh).

I’ve been trying to make my personal life better, though. I went to Disneyland a couple of weekends back. I wanted to stay there longer, but money was getting thin, haha. I’m currently on a cut in my diet (thanks to Disneyland) and so I have been pretty much staying at home and refraining from spending on eating out. That also changed my gym routine. Been doing a simple Pull/Push/Legs variety that goes on three day stints. So three days of one of each, one day of break, then repeat. It keeps me at focusing on my bare minimums as well as letting me reduce in weight since I am not eating my regular caloric intake.

Been playing with the Playstation VR a lot lately. Tons of fun. my roommates get dizzy after awhile, but I seem to be fine, even after a couple of hours in playing. Job simulator and 100ft Robot golf are currently my favorites. I’ll be getting Resident Evil 7, soon, though. I heard that it’s even scarier in VR.

-I’ll probably try bullet journaling soon, as Samsung gave me a sweet notebook at an event I was at. The problem I see is that my mind is currently everywhere right now, I can’t imagine what it would look like in reality, haha.

-Of course I’ve met and will continue to meet people who alter my life. I’m no one without my family and friends, there’s no question. I have made friends who not only help in pushing me to do better, but even if we don’t see each other for a long time, we pick things right up as if no time has passed when we do hang. I need to get back into PC gaming, since they’re still active on that, but everyone else whom I’ve been hanging with have been apart of my current way of life.

Even you, you know that? Much like what my other friends give me, you allow me to see what your life if like and what steps you’re doing to prosper. Even when you go on trips, it gives me a unique perspective on food and cultures that I wouldn’t have thought about otherwise. So thank you for that. And it’s always good to know people with as much in common as you. And we have quite a bit in common so it’s almost impossible for us to never have a discussion about anything, haha.

Well I’ve rambled on for a bit. I apologize for the length and totally understand if you can’t get to this until later. Anyways, talk to you later.
