3 things I'm most proud of accomplishing

• getting into medical school

• volunteering in Benin (West Africa)

• learning French and speaking it for 3 months

2 favourite workouts

• Abs - I love doing them! Ask my roommate and she'll confirm. Crunches, stability ball crunches, bicycle crunches, reverse crunches, planks. My six-pack is there...it's just shy.
• Running - as far as pleasure-running, I go more for short distances (5k) and love being in nature.

1 blog fact

• This is actually my 3rd blog!! I started the first in March 2006 (obsessive compulsive blogging, which failed at a total of 4 posts) then another in September of the same year (chacun son gout, which also failed at 39 posts). I started this one back in October 2009 but started posting on a daily basis when I did a medical observership in Bridgewater. Not only did I want to share my experience with others but I also wanted to document it for myself, as a kind of "life journal".

There you have it! Hope you enjoyed getting to know me a bit better :). And if you already knew all those things about me then thanks for reading through :).
