I’m back!

It’s been a hot minute since I’ve been on here. 

I’ve now finished my PhD, and my third year of medical school. Hopefully I’ll be on here a little more often.

Wait wait wait wait, how did you do it???? I mean, I’ll finish med school until 23 and you’re ending phd and have (almost) 2 kids? Omg, my hero

Thank you, anon! It’s definitely been a wild ride and not easy. Definitely easier having two kids during my PhD portion than it would’ve been during my med school portion, but I wasn’t counting on a pandemic taking away my childcare, either, much less screwing up my CV advancement opportunities and delaying my research. Good luck with med school!

It’s been a while!

Yep, still alive.

Surviving the pandemic, with a toddler running around, while pregnant, while trying to finish a PhD, has not been easy.

We also recently decided the toddler will not be returning to daycare this fall, so I’ll be full-time momming again. While writing my dissertation.

Somehow I’ll survive! I’ll probably be using this blog again for accountability. If anyone wants to join me, let me know!

It's a mess, but it's where I work now. Trying to get this lit review written.

Yup, I’m still here.

My plans were messed up by COVID-19, but whose weren’t? So I’m at home, attempting to write a dissertation while chasing around a toddler.

Who’s got tips for working at home?

Hey Studyblrs!

My kid took a loooong nap so I managed to read a long paper I'd been avoiding for a while. My literature review is beginning to feel more and more complete.

It's been a while since I posted, mostly since life has kept me incredibly busy between being a mother and a PhD student. I'm making good progress with my research and I'm on track to finish next fall! My baby is a year old now and amazing. Life is great.
