Welcome to the real world...sort of

First blog post! Cause for some celebration, I think.

Med school orientation begins in less than four days! In order to capture the journey over the next four years and beyond, I decided to start this blog. I hope to look back some time in the not-so-distant future (or maybe sometime far far away) and reminisce over the small details I may have forgotten, chart my growth throughout my studies, and most importantly, laugh at my MS1 naïveté.

I've titled this blog "the scrub life" in order to encompass all things that might be related to my adventures as a med student. This includes books that I have read (yes, other than textbooks) and recipes that I attempt which turn out reasonably well, i.e. are edible and presentable to people other than my mother.

Here we go...but time for some ice cream first.
