In the process of growing up, I've noticed that moments go by as if they were painted on an ever accepting thin piece of white paper with merely water. In the end, water evaporates and all seems to be for naught. Yet that piece of paper is forever unable to assume its previous shape. It appears crinkled and weathered, but vague outlines still remain, welcoming yet another brushstroke.

T-19 Days
Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Banana Cake
| Don't know how to rotate the image :-( |
Ingredients
- 3-5 mashed ripe bananas
- I used 6 super over ripe bananas in order to not waste all of them...may have been overkill. I didn't need to mash my bananas. They kind of came pre-mashed due to aging
- 1 egg
- cage free, organic, pretentious egg
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla
- I searched everywhere but could not find any...so I actually didn't use this but my dream banana cake would have it
- 1/2 cup of sugar
- by rough estimation...had to use a teacup because we don't have precise measuring tools
- 1/4 cup of brown sugar
- even rougher estimation as I kind of inadvertently spilled some in there...
- 1/2 cup of dried cranberries
- love these things
- 1 cup of semisweet chocolate chip
- perhaps only 1/2 cup went into the banana bread because I ate so many of them...
- A touch of butter
- our family does not own butter so I put a pinch of olive oil instead? Lol
- 1 cup of flour
- another very rough estimation...I don't like flour, I kind of just put it in so the mixture is not a soup
- 1/2 cup of dry Irish steel cut oatmeal
- lots of fiber and soaks up excess soupiness as I didn't put in that much flour
- not sure why it's Irish
Directions: Mix everything together. Pop it in oven for 20-25 min at 350 degrees. Stick a chopstick in there to see if the inside is still mush. You never know if it's cooked thoroughly unless you take a biopsy!
Just tried it and it's a success! Must try some with Pu'er tea later!

Calm Before the Storm
This is Orange Space 2.0...maybe 3.0, I'm not sure.
This is the eye of the hurricane, the calm before the storm.
I am drinking tea, cooking yummy foods, making fruit smoothies, playing Hearthstone but the cloud of doom grows near.
The USMLE step 2 is less than 3 weeks away and there is so little time for excellence and redemption...and so little time to develop some much needed motivation, discipline, and good work ethics.
Goals for today:
