Yes, I know it's January and technically winter. But I've unfortunately been neglecting this blog, which I am sad about. Hopefully, I can pick up some writing this year, even though 2015 is going to be a huge change, what with board exams and starting rotations. Since I have a lot of pictures from the last few months, I figured I might as well share and pretend like I have been updating everything on a timely basis.
I've never gone apple picking before. I didn't even know it was a thing, until I saw some East Coast friends post some pictures a few years ago. Since then, I've resolved to do it, if anything to see what it's like. Unfortunately, we completely missed the season (PSA: go in August or September!) so there were no apples to actually pick! However, we still enjoyed our time and got to experience the beauty of Apple Hill. I will be on weekend-free rotation from late August to October this year, so hopefully I can get a chance to go during the season and pick some of them apples!

Back in early November, I also attended my very first, bonafide, grown-up medical conference! It was a smaller, cozy Psychiatry conference in San Francisco, so it was easy to make a day trip out of it. I'm really glad I attended. I sat in on some excellent presentations and workshops, enjoyed the day with some classmates and friends, and felt like a professional (sort of!). Psychiatry is still one of the top fields I'm considering pursuing, so it was a wonderful opportunity. And free for med students, booyah!

Fall time in Sac can get a little chilly, but it sure is pretty.
