The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel finally came out in a city near me. I’m probably going to overrate it because of the impact that it personally had on me.
There was a good crowd. I was probably the youngest person there.
I think it was just a film that I really needed, and had been wanting, to see. It was as though it had some kind of healing effect on me, and I just needed to...
To bulk, or not to bulk...
I’m always conflicted about bulking. Technically, you will gain some fat with muscle, but I don’t want to gain ANY fat.
I’m pretty sure that I have body dysmorphic disorder. It really is horrible because, on some days, it has the potential to affect other areas of my life (besides the healthy eating and exercising).
And then even more anxiety when I have an idea of what I...
Why do I feel so apathetic...
Tomorrow is graduation at 9 AM, luncheon at noon, and white coat ceremony at 6 PM. Graduation is Saturday at 10 AM.
My excitement level is about a 2/10, and I don’t understand why. It seems like a “normal” student would be extremely excited about this momentous occasion, no?
Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad to be done…SOOO GLAD, but I dunno.
I just want to go...

“Love all and hate none.
Mere talk of peace will avail you naught.
Mere talk of God and religion will not take you far.
Bring out all the latent powers of your being and
reveal the full magnificence of your immortal self.
Be surcharged with peace and joy, and scatter
them wherever you are and wherever you go.
Be a blazing fire of Truth; be a beauteous blossom
of love; and be a soothing balm...

“At AIDS.gov we continuously follow and research emerging social media tools for what may be the next big application. However, one of the big stories of 2011 wasn’t around an “emerging” tool, but one that had been with us since 2007.”

5. Rest in the nature of alaya, the essence.
I had decided a while back that it would be a good idea to have a main concept to focus on for a daily meditation…something that I should try to refer back to and reflect on as my day progressed.
It was while I was listening to Pema Chodron that I got such an idea. In one of her talks, she mentioned that every day she would draw a card with a lojong slogan on it. These slogans came from a...

I finally get to work out again… After months of hardly any exercise (thanks to school and the hotels I had to stay in), I decided it was a good idea to start P90X2. My parents bought it and never used it. Having completed the original P90X a couple of years ago, I figured I could jump right in.
WRONG
I’m soooo out of shape, it’s a miracle I didn’t die.

Call Me Dr. Marks
I think I’ll have to post more posts with words and things. After all, that was my intention when starting this thing.
School has consumed my life. After a year of the most intense rotation experience anyone has ever had (I had 5 of the toughest faculty members possible…and students are only required to have two rotations with faculty members).
But all of that is done now....
