You are what you sleep....

As I sit and munch on an overpriced cup of fruit at our school's cafe, I can't help but think of ways to keep myself awake in the coming 2 hours of a Biochemistry lecture.  Did I mention that we already had 2hrs of Biochem this morning? And 2hrs of the Gluteal Region in Gross Anatomy? It's virtually impossible to sit from 8-12 and retain some of which seems like minutia, but I'm giving it my best. I've learned that when my eyes feel heavy, and my mind drifts off to what's for dinner, it's time to snack on something.  The key is not eating too heavy a breakfast or lunch in order to be alert while satiating your raving appetite from the mounds of reading/studying.  I plan to venture to the farmers market in the next few days to replace my dorrito and fruit snack munchies with fruit and nuts :) I have NOT been getting nearly enough sleep, but I am practicing napping after lectures to rest and rejuvenate before my avg 6hrs in the library.  It is encouraging to see 3rd and 4th yr meds with their coats and scopes rotating in the hospital.  As I close my eyes and walk past them I tell myself, in due time! There is a time and place for everything, and I'm glad that my hard work has paid off thus far.
I am 2016 :)

You are 2016!! Replacing the dorritos and fruit snacks with fresh fruit is a great idea! Those processed foods and sugars will be of no help when trying to stay awake and alert! Eat those carrots for a brilliant glow and almonds for a burst of energy! :-)

All you need to know about the gluteal region is that doing squats will keep em TOIGHT!

See ya in just over a month!!
