You can just go to the woods and look at mushrooms anytime you want, nobody can stop you

Those are the best horror movies though- and great for drinking games 😆

How did I manage to give myself tendonitis in my left arm? We will never know but we hates it, precious.

Oof, that is a lot for one day.

Mama peahen and babies!

Well.. that didn't go quite as I planned.. but when there is a bump in the road, I continue on. The dream remains, the journey to get there shifts.

Tomorrow... 9am. 🤟🏼

Some of us have a lot to say! We love to share information and we feel leaving some things out won't feel right. Shame on his professor.

Oof, shame on that professor for being so curt. It must have stung to get that response, as it stayed with you. You didn't deserve that kind of response. I wish professors would respond with more compassion and kindness instead of feeling like connecting to the student is too much work.

This is a wild assumption and harmful. It would appear you have a lot to learn about neurodivergence and compassion. We can't move through life assuming everyone is using chatGPT because they are verbose, that's absurd.

It can also be common in folks who have experienced trauma, wanting to be sure they are understood, do not miscommunicate, and cover every possible base so they don't get 'in trouble'.

I am guilty of this, too, as a neurodivergent person. I am always writing the most. Discussion posts for my class will ask for 250 words but I find myself writing double that without realizing.

The likelihood that someone took the time to use chatGPT to formulate an email to ask a question seems really unlikely. It is far more likely that they are verbose, as a neurodivergent person I can promise I always say too much.

All my brain wants to do is relax post-MCAT but I have university classes this semester. Usually, I have issues relaxing because then I don't feel productive. So, this is a new, odd feeling for me. Trying to find a balance, and stay centered as I finish up my BS in Biology this semester.

Today’s #SaturdayPuppuccino was a great relief after last weekend’s noticeable absence. 12/10, welcome back.

17 days until my MCAT score gets released 👀

I am looking forward to having time to do more shadow shifts this month and next month, they bring me joy and I am always learning something new.

Whelp, it has been a few days since my MCAT and my brain is nearly back online at full capacity.

It feels like the end of an era, with all the prep that lead up to that moment. 27 more days until I find out the results, feeling good.

Now, to tackle the pile of reading for my final uni semester 😜

Not at all weird, I appreciate you! 28 more days until I receive the results!

Starting my final full length momentarily.. then in 5 days I take the MCAT.

16 days until the MCAT.
15 days of studying left.
Fall semester begins next Tues (for me).

Time really does fly.. I know I got this but dang, this big hurdle is upcoming and I have to do my best.

I KNOW I will be beginning medical college next summer, no doubt in my mind.
