Chicken, Brown Rice, Steamed Broccoli May 14, 2012

Filed under: Dinner — Maria @ 6:13 pm

Tonight for dinner I am having the same thing as last night — chicken, brown rice, and steamed broccoli. I can’t believe how flavorful this chicken came out. It was super random of me to put drumsticks in the crock pot but it totally worked out. I would definitely do it again. Actually, while they were cooking I googled other recipes for drumsticks in a crock pot and there were tons. Good to know since I often tend to buy them since they are pretty affordable! Well my radiI just keep reviewing all the films and hoping something sticks. I feel like it’s so difficult to study for because for the most part I know my slides, but when the exam shows different films it’s hard to distinguish which fracture or infiltration being shown since they always deviate from the ones we learned on (unless it’s something super obvious). I always feel like I have a good grasp on it and then am shown up. Hopefully tomorrow I can dominate!!

 

Avocado & Cheddar Sammies, Strawberries, Celery Sticks

Filed under: Lunch — Maria @ 12:44 pm

Today for lunch I made open faced avocado and shredded cheddar cheese sammies on toasted whole wheat bread with fresh strawberries and celery sticks. I used to make these frequently with ricotta but I haven’t bought any in ages. I added it to my list though so hopefully I’ll pick some  up soon. So I think my pharm final was ok — definitely had a lot of tricky ones but there were also ones I definitely knew which is a good sign. I’m actually nervous for my radiology final tomorrow. I did great on the midterm which is 30% but I just did ok overall on the four quizzes which were 5% each. I want to make sure I can get a decent grade in this class so I hope our professor makes the exam fair. Studying radiology is my plan for the afternoon, then I may give some of my attention to clinical medicine this evening. I will probably get up super early to review radiology again too.  T h r e e m o r e d a y s !

 

Green Monster Smoothie

Filed under: Breakfast — Maria @ 7:22 am

This morning for breakfast I am having a green monster smoothie. I made it with 3 handfuls of baby spinach, a frozen banana, 3 strawberries, 1/2 scoop vanilla whey protein, and unsweetened vanilla almond milk. I put it in a frozen glass which I love too. Sooo good, hopefully it will give me lots of energy and brain power ha! I have been up the last 2 hours or so studying pham and it’s not fun at all. I really don’t feel like I am retaining anything which is the most frustrating part. I am hoping I am recognize some things since it’s multiple choice. I may stay after my exam for work study for a little bit. I can never jump right back into studying after a big test so I might as well make a little money lol. I still need to fill out my application for summer work study but I didn’t get the email that it is available yet. I am anticipating it will be soon since the summer semester starts in two short weeks. I’m nervous since I usually received the email by now in previous semesters. I don’t think there should be any reason I wouldn’t get it though, I hope not anyway. I need that money for my summer budget for sure ahh. Alright, time for some last minute pharamacology cramming. Here goes nothing!
