Y'all...I am so done with school. Stretched deadlines, stressed profs, my brain straight up going "NOPE" every Saturday morning in response to my waking up in a panic and shortly realizing "hey, it's Saturday! I don't need to wear pants or go to into the clinic...but I can study?"
Here is a stunningly metaphorical NOPE in picture form.
 |
| my clinic biddy Emily fetching me lemon tea from Starbucks to soothe my cough. |
 |
| Matt's mom makes these crispy, savory pancakes with walnuts. they are sumptous without any toppings, just hot off the pan. |
 |
| I had a weak moment and bought coke from a vending machine. I showed my classmates. they snapped photos. |
 |
| breakfasts with this guy (NOTE THE GEM ON THE LEFT) |
 |
| my classmates communicate in pictures. |
 |
| THOSE HERBS I GREW THEM |
 |
| Matt asked me to buy lime basil but barely uses it. I chopped some and froze in olive oil |
 |
| Culver's, a midwestern delicacy |
 |
| fried cheese balls? with ranch dipping sauce? |
 |
| gluten free, but made the mistake of not reading what the pasta was made of: LENTIL FLOUR. Poops--I mean--oops. |
 |
| homemade cashew milk getting turned into a homemade frappucino! |
 |
| Surprise dinner of steak and onions |
 |
| A grocery store opened up about 5 blocks from the clinic and has a pretty decent salad bar |
 |
| found at Miami airport: guava and sweet cheese pie. SO FRAGRANT. |
 |
| Grandma with my welcome home meal--that lady, I tell you. |
 |
| Mom and I at the oyster bar at JTM. Pricey to sit and eat, and the oysters were just ok. |
 |
| But...I may try it just one more time... |
 |
| picking vine leaves for stuffing! |
 |
| At a family-favorite Italian restaurant, Tre Marie |
 |
| crème brulée bread pudding, at a restaurant nearby. Just say no to that fusion shit. |
 |
| broccoli "breadcrumbs" in meatballs. yes, thank you, I'm a genius. |
