March was pretty much full of service and studying for the MCAT. Obvioulsy I preferred the volunteering over the time I spent with flash cards. 

I volunteered at top taco fest which was great. I spent time at the ticket gate, checking people in and handing out wrist bands. Top Taco was a great event, we got to try so many tacos from a variety of vendors. Another volunteering event I did was working with Youth Leadership NOLA (YLC). YLC hosts events every Wednesday. I worked a vendor spot an event called Wednesdays at the square.

MCAT is taking up most off my other time. I’m currently reviewing Organic Chemistry and boy is that fun. Interesting fact, S-thalidomide is teratogenic, and R-thalidomide is therapeutic (indicated for leprosy). It’s super cool how changing the stereochemistry of a molecule can completely change it’s chemical outlook.

It's looking like a Boston December so far. Well... kinda. It snowed today for about 10 minutes. I had the opportunity to work again this month with Habitat for Humanity. This time my classmates and I added the siding to a house. The process is slow and meticulous but I think we had the right squad for it. I plan on continuing my service hours with Habitat in the spring as well. December Hours: 8 Total Hours: 30

I spent most of my weekends in the month of January volunteering. First, I volunteered at the Habitat for Humanity restore. The Restore is a second-hand goods shop that sells furnishings, amongst other things, at a marked down price. The money from the Restore helps fund the construction done during build days. The next day I worked at the NFC playoff game selling raffle tickets. This was by far the most fun experience. Not only did I get to see the Saints win a playoff game at home but I helped raise money for the United Negro College Fund. The following week I helped SOUL Nola with planting trees in my neighborhood. I enjoyed planting trees because I got to instantly see the fruits of my labor. We also got free food which always makes it that much more worthwhile. In fact it was so fun I did it again the following week. This time we grabbed a few drinks after at the Wayward Owl Brewery.   January Hours: 24 Hours
