AAFP, ACOFP, SNMA, GAFP, GOMA, AOA, AMA, ABCDEFG (<— ok, just kidding on that last one). As you can see, so many acronyms of various medical professional organizations can turn into alphabet soup at times.

Don’t Look in the Rear View Mirror
Hey yall! Guess who passed the COMLEX Level 3 board exam last month and is now eligible to be licensed in the state of Georgia? Yep, me! God is so good! So let me back up and tell you the story, before I get carried away. I took my exam at the beginning of June.…
It’s Been a Long Time, I Shouldn’t Have Left You…
Hey yall! Peep that Aaliyah and Timbaland reference. It’s been WAAAYYYY too long since my last blog post. So much has happened since my last post in January. First off, I’ve finished my first year of residency and I am officially a 2nd year resident! One down, two more to go! Woooo-hooooo! I’ve learned to…
Happy December…or is it?
Happy December everybody! Many of you are in the holiday spirit and may have started your Christmas music playlists already. I started mine the day after Thanksgiving (don’t judge). For most, this time of year brings warm and fuzzy feelings; however, to some this is the most distressing time of year. Some tend to worry…
Vaginas, Babies, Cool Weather, and Nappy Hair
Hey everyone! So, I’ve wrapped up my first week of my OB/GYN block. Those close to me know that I’m geeked, because I absolutely love OB/GYN (well maybe less GYN and more OB). I was THIIIIISSSS close to applying to OB/GYN residency programs, but realized I wasn’t about that life. Not trying to wake up…
IN CASE OF FIRE, DO NOT USE ELEVATOR!
“In case of fire, do not use elevator.” Every time I see one of those signs, I think, “What are the chances that I get stuck in a burning building.” I hope that never happens; however, I was thinking about life and the phrase took on a new meaning. Since I moved for residency, I…
Hands Up!
I was stopped for a speeding ticket this morning on the way to work. As soon as I saw those flashing blue lights I thought to myself “Dang, now I’m going to be late.” I woke up late yesterday so I definitely didn’t want to be late today. By the time I pulled to the…
Back Like I Never Left (Part 1)

Weekend Recap
Happy Monday everyone! I hope everyone had a great weekend. It was a busy one for me. I finally finished packing on Friday, then moved on Saturday. My wonderful parents came up from Louisiana, and my amazing boyfriend came from Atlanta to help. I sure needed it too! The forecast here in South Georgia was…
FAITH > FEAR
Happy Tuesday! I hope everyone is off to a great week. Yesterday was extremely busy for me. I had so many errands to run and was out and about for most of the day. When I finally got home, I opened a package that came in the mail from my residency program. Along with a…
