February blog

Service hours: 0


 

As February comes to an end, we are in the full swing of Mardi Gras in New Orleans. I spent Friday resting after our neurology module exams that morning. Saturday night I was able to go to Endymion to see friends who rode in the parade. I plan on spending Mardi Gras Day tomorrow watching the parades uptown. One of my roommates and long-time friend is planning on proposing to his girlfriend tomorrow on the parade route, so I am hoping for more good weather to celebrate. I am glad to see life in New Orleans slowly return to normal following the pandemic, and I hope that we don’t see a large surge in cases following this week.

I plan on spending the rest of our break relaxing with family and friends, but I will also use the time off as an opportunity to serve our community. I am signed up through Second Harvest to volunteer this Thursday from 9am – 3pm at Giving Hope Foodbank in New Orleans East. I am looking forward to this opportunity to help others who are less fortunate. Food is such an important part of our health, and no one in our community should have to go hungry.

I also received some exciting news this month that I have been accepted into this year’s medical school class at LSU New Orleans. I am very grateful for my acceptance and can’t show enough thanks for my friends, family, and professors who have supported me through the process. Here at Tulane, it seems like the time has been flying by as we now have less than two months until our med pharm NBME exam. I have learned a lot through our classes this year, and I look forward to learning more as we wrap up the semester.
