As summer comes to an end for me I wanted to redraw the very first drawings I did of the Crystal Gems. I remember telling myself to draw something everyday for the summer, I usually end up not following through with it though, but I did this summer. I’m so glad I did because LOOK AT THAT IMPROVEMENT!!! I have been drawing for all my life, but never have I ever seen this much improvement from myself in just a few months. Damn I got good. For artists out there thinking that you’ll never improve, don’t give up! A drawing everyday will definitely help you improve, and it doesn’t even have to be a full drawing it could just be a small doodle! Just something to get your hand moving to create something.
On another note, I won’t be posting as frequently because I just moved and like no internet ._. BUT still feel free to ask me anything, commissions are always open, and just talk to me. I’ll still be on tumblr, but through mobile.

Making People Connected
Its not the matter of status and age people get alienated. The idea is how we interact and respond to situations we believe to be unusual to our senses. We tend to make distance from them believing that the feeling of security will not threatened. Makes sense?

Bouyant and beautiful
Residents of Laurel, Delaware, will have a new water feature to check out this year - a floating wetlands structure designed to improve water quality in the town park.
The device was designed by five University of Delaware engineering students - Danielle Gerstman of Chalfont, Pa., Sarah Hartman of Wilmington, Del., Erica Loudermilk of Lothian, Md., Mark White of Wilmington, Del., and recent graduate Megan Doyle - and can be placed in rivers, ponds and areas that are not part of a natural structure.
Plantings for the six-sided structure are chosen for the way they interact with water - removing nitrogen and phosphorus with both high efficiency and beauty.
The team worked with faculty advisors Dustyn Roberts and Kurt Manal, with participation from UD’s Sustainable Coastal Communities Initiative and Delaware Sea Grant, Andrew Hayes and landscape design expert Jules Bruck of the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources.
“I am excited about the floating wetland project because of the potential it has to improve water quality both locally and around the world,” Sarah said. “This novel approach to surface water treatment is aesthetically appealing and educational by nature, allowing the community where it is deployed to learn the value of clean water and the science behind how natural wetlands treat water.”

Rotation Recap #4: Orthopedic Surgery/Sports Medicine
This is a little late, but I finished up my 4th rotation about a week and a half ago! This was my 2nd elective rotation, which I did in orthopedic surgery and sports medicine. I really enjoyed this rotation, and learned so much more than I expected to. In 5 short weeks I felt like an ortho pro! I had 3 clinic days a week and 2 OR days. Although I have a general surgery rotation to do still, this was my first surgery experience!
What I liked about ortho: I really enjoyed how focused my practice was. The practice was huge, so each physician focused on their own specialties. The physician and PA I was with were focused on sports injuries, knees, and shoulders. So I learned almost all there is to know about these types of injuries and conditions. I personally like how “definite” ortho diagnoses can be due to so many special physical exam tests and imaging. I also enjoy specialties in that you can go more in-depth with these patient’s issues.
What I didn’t like about ortho: As I mentioned, the practice is highly specialized. Due to that, I didn’t get to see many patients that had issues with other body parts besides knees and shoulders. I would have loved to see some trauma, spine, neck, and hand patients but I didn’t really get that opportunity.
Favorite things about my site: The PA and surgeon I worked with were extremely enthusiastic about helping me learn. They were both extremely smart, and they were very easy going and friendly (which is opposite of the stereotype of orthopedic surgeons that I’ve heard!). The PA even had lesson plans set up for me, something I have yet to have gotten from a preceptor. The demographic variety of patients I saw was very wide (I even saw prisoners). Many of the facilities were also extremely nice. The surgeon had two fellows he was teaching at the time on surgery days, and they were also very enthusiastic about teaching me things, even though they had no obligation to. The site was very fast-paced, which I really liked.
Things I didn’t like about my site: On clinic days, I had to travel between offices throughout the day. Often times the offices would be on opposite sides of the city of Pittsburgh! It put a lot of miles on my poor car.
Common things I saw: Meniscus tears, collateral ligament sprains, ACL tears, osteoarthritis, rotator cuff sprains and tears, knee contusions, patellar subluxations, Bakers cysts, and minor joint effusions.
Uncommon things I saw: Osgood-Schlatters, shoulder dislocations, patellar fracture, tibial fracture, and large (like, 120 cc of aspirate) joint effusions. Common procedures: Joint injections, joint aspirations, brace placements, and suture removal. I also got to first assist in surgery, which consisted of procedures such as suturing, suctioning, extremity maneuvering (sometimes I’d have to hold an arm above my head for 20+ minutes!), ACL graft preparation, and placing sterile dressings.
Overall thoughts: I enjoyed this rotation so much! It really helped me solidify my musculoskeletal physical exam, reading x-rays, gave me some tips on reading MRIs, and made me very confident in the OR, which I’m sure will carry over to my surgery rotation. I got so much out of this rotation and I’m really hoping that someday I can work in an ortho practice as fantastic as this one was. I was really bummed to leave this rotation, but I have already planned to go back for a few OR days during my scheduled breaks from rotations to get some more experience!
