My week off :)

So, I just finished my Ob/GYN rotation last Friday and had this whole week off before starting my Internal Medicine rotation on Monday. My roommate went home this week so I got to explore the city by myself this week. I went to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, The Met, the Central Park Zoo, Chelsea Market, Eataly, and several other places while just wandering through the city. I had a great time this week and love that I live in this awesome city!!! Enjoy some of the pictures from this week. Some of my other pictures from the week can also be found on Facebook.

Pictures

This post is mostly going to be pictures from the last week. Over Easter weekend, my dad came up here for work and we were able to hang out a bit while he was up here. We walked around Central Park and down to Rockefeller Center on the first day and then the next day we explored Lower Manhattan around the 9/11 memorial, Wall Street, and then ended at the South Street Seaport.





















Then on Easter Sunday, my roommate and I went into Manhattan to see the Easter Parade which consists of people dressing up in crazy Easter hats. There were some very interesting hats out!








This weekend, it was beautiful out so yesterday, my roommate and I went to Prospect Park and spent the afternoon sitting outside in the sun and enjoying the day.







I have one more week left in Ob/GYN and will be in the Ob clinic this week. Last week I was in the OR and got to see some pretty cool stuff. After my Ob/GYN rotation I have a week off before starting internal medicine. That's all for now. Love you all!

Macy's Flower Show

So, I'm about to start week 4 of my Ob/GYN rotation and so far I am really enjoying it!! Last week I was in the GYN clinic and than this past week I was in Labor and Delivery and got to help deliver some more babies!! This week I am in sonogram clinic which I have heard is kind of a waste of time and we have to be at the hospital super early so I'm not really looking forward to that but we'll see what actually happens. Today was my only day off this week so I decided to go into the city and do some more sightseeing. Every year. Macy's puts on a Spring Flower Show at their store on 34th street. The theme this year was Brazil and all the windows out front were decorated with different tropical flowers such as orchids, bromeliads, and other plants. The mannequins in the window were dressed in Brazilian Carnival outfits and there was festive music playing as well. They then had a tent out front and inside it was decorated to look like different places in Rio de Janeiro such as courtyards, rooftops, and jungles...it was really cool!! Below are pictures from in the tent. The last two pictures are of two cupcakes I bought today at a place on 38th and Broadway called Crumbs Bake Shop. The cupcakes were huge and were only $3.95 each!! You could also get a giant cupcake that was bigger than a cake for $35! They had a bunch of different flavors too...I got red velvet and cookie dough. I've eaten the cookie dough one so far and it was really good! It was a vanilla cake that was filled with chocolate icing and then the whole thing was topped with an icing that I'm not really sure the flavor of. I should have only eaten half as it was really sweet with the frosting inside the cupcake and on the top. I'm going to have the red velvet one later but I'm sure it will be really good as well!! That's all for now...dad is coming up to visit this coming weekend so I'll be sure to get some pics and let everyone know what we end up doing!! Love you all!!
