Guess the Neurocysticercosis Thing Worked

Got honors in Radiology. Yay!

(though I'm guessing they probs give Honors to anyone breathing in rads) lol

For the First Time in My Life

I am so incredibly lucky to be surrounded by friends. Not friends that live far away. Not childhood friends that I barely talk to. Not friends that I see once in a while and are in reality just acquaintances. Real friends. Classmates, girlfriends, neighbors, mentors, boys to date, and those rare few people that you love with every ounce of your soul. I have quite a few here in this city. And I know that makes me incredibly lucky.

Specifically loving Lolo, Rica, Dr J, neighbor boy and his family, MB, B1, B2, and AMH. I love you all very much and this wouldn't be worth it without you guys.
