hello my friends,
im so happy to have you here! long time no see!! how is 2023 going for you?
i've missed posting here so much, and i hope you enjoy this uni vlog from me. it pertains to the work i was doing during the holiday season, and tomorrow's vlog will pertain to the work i've been up to in january!
i want to get this backlog footage posted so i can start with a clean slate in february, post more up-to-date, i know it's just going to get progressively more difficult throughout the year to post on time. i am so grateful while editing this, especially at the end, looking back at some clips of 2022 together, i'm so happy i've been sharing these memories with you for another year. thank you for being so welcoming and giving me such a safe space to share my thoughts and a little bit of everything. i'm so so grateful to you, turning to this community is my favorite thing!! it makes me so appreciative of our paths, that we're making progress and seeing and experiencing exciting & beautiful things. and just trying our best...

during the holidays, i was unfortunately quite busy with my internal medicine rotation (both internship hours and two assignments that i had to write in a haste & discuss in person with my tutor). it did take a toll on me but luckily, you'll see throughout this video, i had in those weeks the presence of mind to recognize when it's time to take a break, to take things easier, slower, or you'll just drive yourself to burnout & luckily after the holidays i felt ready to tackle what is next, and eager to approach the new rotations and challenges.

also!! thank you to my regular viewers the utmost for the patience ಥ_ಥ i've been trying to post this for a couple of weeks now and yesterday i really asserted to myself that i needed to post this weekend, & i've been typing the subtitles as fast as possible as soon as i woke up.
it means the world someone feels excited to watch these, and enjoys them in a part of their day. again... thank u thank u thank u.
i hope you are doing well, and are having a wonderful february so far, that january was hopefully an overall positive month. that you are well in health and spirits. i will see you very soon!
take care 💗 sending lots of love your way..
from yours,
maria
