I am laid-back, sarcastic, and quirky.
My Self-Summary
Hi, I'm a 24 y/o slacker on the UES in denial about being a med
student, trying to enjoy life instead of being a responsible adult.
By this I mean I have a tendency to spend all my precious free time
as unproductively as possible, ie going out for drinks, watching a
film, playing games (of any variety), goofing off on the
intertubes, or just sleeping in. Mmmm sleep, so under-rated. When
I'm not doing one of the above or learning how not to kill
patients, I'm usually running in the park, practicing a Japanese
swordsmanship art, swimming, or checking out a
show/festival/museum/venue.
What I’m doing with my life
Just finished my OB/GYN clerkship. I didn't mind getting blood on
my shoes during deliveries, but the morning I found a piece of
uterus in one of them after a hysterectomy was a bit much.
Currently on Peds, where I've been very successful at making little
children cry.
I’m really good at
CPR, venipuncture, text-twist, cutting w/ a katana, picking red
wine despite not knowing anything about wine, playing guitar
poorly, making long elevator rides w/ strangers as awkward as
possible, reading webcomics during lecture, skipping lecture,
getting someone to sign me into mandatory lectures, holding my
wine/sake/tequila but not my scotch/shochu/blue stuff
The first things people usually notice about me
How I always play on my iphone while walking, which apparently is
not the safest way to cross the street

The six things I could never do without
my iphone, sushi, scrub pants, games (video, board, trivia,
drinking, you name it), central park, a comfortable bed
I spend a lot of time thinking about
how I could save the day if my hospital was ever taken over by
terrorists
On a typical Friday night I am
out for drinks when I should be studying, w00t procrastination!
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
I go to anime conventions on 420
You should message me if
you're chill, know how to geek out, are into trying new things
around the city but can also appreciate a night on the couch
drinking to bad movies, and/or have something insightful to say
