| one | two | three having a neutrals moment |
- Our second (and last) respiratory exam is tomorrow. I've relatively enjoyed this system, mostly because it's interesting how much our lungs deal with every day but don't get sick (or learning all the horrible things that can happen if your immune system fails). I was really upset after reading the pathology section on lung cancer though - so much death is preventable. Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer mortality in the world - and 87% happens in active smokers! In addition to killing the smoker, 3000 people a year die because of second hand smoke. It just blows my mind.
- There's an infection that you can get in your lungs that causes a big ball of fungus to grow inside of a cavity caused by a previous infection. The fun term for that is "fungus ball". Yikes.
- Will using your cell phone lead to brain cancer?
Spotted
- How great would this dress by for the holidays? It's the last day to get it at 40% off (code: SHAREIT).
- Have you seen the new Faribault collection at Target? The midwestener in me loves the video that goes along with it. I think this throw would make a lovely Christmas present (and while you're at it, pick yourself up the matching scarf!)
- If you need an "ugly Christmas sweater" that isn't actually ugly, this one from J.Crew Factory is currently on sale (as is everything else!). Wear it with a patterned button up and a pretty necklace.
On the Internet
- What is your opinion on capsule collections? I loved reading Adina's thoughts on them.
- This spiralized chicken pad thai looks amazing and I can't wait to try to make it.
- I hope large/blanket scarves never go away either.
On Franish
- On the blog: my experiences with the 4 Hour Body
- On Instagram: trading in my flats for giant snow boots :/
- On Pinterest: I love everything about this picture, but especially the chain metal watch
Personal
- After tomorrow, we won't have an exam until the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, so I'm using that time to be productive. I need to find someone to tweak a few things on my blog design (any recommendations?), I want to do a closet clean out, I need to prep my board study material, and most importantly, clean my entire house before my family comes the week of Thanksgiving!
- This week we found out our schedules for 3rd year. I start out with family medicine (yay!) but then have two straight months of surgery (pray for me). Between that, and the endless talk of studying for boards (which we take at the end of May - it's basically the biggest test of our careers since how well we do on it determines what specialties we are competitive for), I'm ready for it to be June.
- I'm being taken on a secret date on Friday, and I can.not.wait. All I've been told is to dress nice - I'm hoping the dress I ordered comes in time!
