Yesterday's graduation. Not pictured are the fifty ton (I exaggerate, a bit) hood and the itchy multi-cornered tam. Anyway, it was truly surreal to hear Dr. prepended to our names. The thought of it still makes me stupidly giddy. I seriously wonder when the novelty will start to wear off. Now, the real world awaits.

Massive Spring cleaning which means a handful of items will be up for sale soon on the Shop Phosphene tumblr. Please read the top of the page for details on how to purchase! I'll be adding items nearly every day, so be sure to check back often for new items. Here's a preview of what's going up today.

Today is Graduation! Though I still have a couple of small things at school to finish up before I officially call myself Dr. Chou, I am ecstatic. I can't believe this day has finally arrived. This is my graduation garb all sprawled out on my bed. More photos to come!

Kicked off the day with a Mother's Day dim sum with the family, followed by a study session for my last set of board exams, and groceries. I was gifted this One Language tote and decided it was time to put some use to it--it's just the right size for my laptop, study prep books, notebooks, and my board flashcards. Now off to study some more Pharmacology, and to process the information a bit better, a side of vino, Boursin, and bread may not be a bad idea! Happy Mother's Day!

Eep, second post in a roll using iPhone photos. It's always when I'm not lugging my DSLR around that I happen across pretty backdrops, ie an inviting bed of magnolia flower petals sitting peacefully in front of a gorgeous edifice. That is life.
