So I’ve had this blog for like two months now and still haven’t introduced myself...

- My name is Emily (she/her) and I’m 18 years old.

- I’m going to 2nd year of cegep in Honours Health Science. I live in Montreal, Canada and we have this thing called cegep (because we gotta be special) and it’s two years between high school and university. It’s a mix of general education (French, English, etc) and specialized courses depending on your program.

- Starting school in two days, yikes. This semester I have:

Organic Chemistry I

General Biology I

Linear Algebra

Medicine and Ethics (sooooo excited about this)

Sociology - Crime and Punishment

English - New Age Literature

- I want to become a doctor, specifically global/tropical medicine or pediatrics

- Addicted to coffee

- I’m bilingual in English and French, although my native language is Chinese (Mandarin), but I forgot a lot of it. I also speak Spanish and am learning German.

- Always binging on TV shows. I’m watching The Defenders rn and it’s grEAT. Also love Dr Who, all medical dramas and so many crime shows, such as, but not limited to, CSI, Law and Order SVU, Broadchurch, Sherlock, etc, etc

- Don’t read as much as I want to, but right now I’m reading Doing Right. It’s on medical ethics and it’s super interesting. Love Harry Potter (Ravenclaw for life), The Great Gatsby and Handmaid’s Tale.

- I love listening to podcasts because I can learn so much while on the bus or in the metro. My faves are Oh No! Ross and Carrie, Sawbones, The Daily, Pod Save America, Skeptics with a K and The Friendly Atheist.

- I want to post original pictures and possibly do the 100 days of productivity challenge.  This is a sideblog, by the way.
