2 days!!

Yes...so I finally only have 2 days of pharmacy school. I've completed my journal club as my last project. I just have to present it to some of the clinical pharmacists tomorrow at noon. Some people probably do not know what journal club is, but trust me it is not even worth knowing what it is:) I had to present to a group of different people at the hospital today about the use of various drugs in the hospital. I was a little nervous, but everyone said I did a great job. I guess I'm prepared to really be a pharmacist...ack!
Adam has been totally supportive. Every day he talks to me he counts down the days with me until when I'll be done. Tomorrow he wants to go out to celebrate the night before my last day of rotations since I'm eating with Matt for his birthday on Friday. He's also paying for me to get into Derby on Saturday. I'm so glad he's so supportive and knows exactly what I'm experiencing:) Speaking of Derby..I have a feeling the weather is not going to be so great. But I'm going to have a great time even if it is miserable and wet. You only live once, right?!
This weekend while I was home, I saw a The Hills marathon on MTV. It has to be one of the dumbest shows I have ever seen. I don't understand how the girls can be so catty. They are all telling each other who to date. What's wrong with doing what you want and feel is right. I understand caring about your friends and not wanting them to get hurt but there has to be a point. I guess being in a stable relationship makes me realize that I wouldn't have any of my friends tell me I shouldn't date Adam. I just don't understand it.

Frustration

I know Adam is doing a good thing by paying all of his loans off...but him living at home is about to drive me insane. It wouldn't be so bad if he was the only one at home, but his lucky parents have two of their grown children living with them. So not only is his brother there all the time but also his brother's girlfriend. I just want to be able to see Adam and relax and watch TV and not have 6 people fighting over the one TV with cable. I can't imagine moving to Louisville and coming to visit Adam and having to stay at his parents house. I guess that's a good reason I have friends in Lexington to shack with. I love him but geez!

I just finished all my paperwork to turn into the pharmacy office for graduation...well except for the thing that Herb has to fill out at the end of the month. I have to do a journal club for this rotation, but I'm a lot less nervous since hearing Kyle's today. it was not way over the top..so I can do it. And Herb told me today that I was doing a "fabulous job". So looks like everything is going well. I know the week is going to be over before I know it. I'm going home this weekend. I guess I need to start working on the guest list for the pig roast. The only part I'm worried about is a couple of people who don't think I drink attending. But there is going to be a keg...so I guess they'll find out. Like Mom said though..it is my celebration:) Speaking of Mom, tomorrow is Secretary's Day, so I sent her some flowers from the Bouquet Shoppe in Bowling Green. I love that place. My parents used to send me flowers from there when I was at WKU. Wish there was a good place like that in Lexington.

10 days!

So I only have 10 more days in pharmacy school ever!! I'm sure people are getting tired of my countdown, but I am so freaking excited. This weekend was a blur...and once again I can't believe it's over. Such is the life of a worker. Friday night I had Bunco at Meredith's in Simpsonville. I actually ended up winning this month, so I came home with $40. Yippee. Saturday a group of us went to Keeneland. On the 3rd race I bet on the horse "Versailles Road" across the board and also hit an exacta. I ended up walking away with $52 that day as well. How exciting! We had the Apothecary Ball on Saturday night at the downtown Hilton. It was so pretty. The 3rd years did a great job. It was great to see people from my class..well especially my friends since that is who I hung out with anyway. But the room was very beautiful. And the party favors were personalized M&Ms that had Congrats on some and Class of 2010 on the others. They were in a pill bottle that was labeled as Magic/Memories 20/10 mg. It was really cute and the Rx# was our graduation date 05072010. It was really well thought out.
The weekend was great and I can't wait until next weekend. I will be going home to get my hair cut and colored for graduation. I will be visiting my new favorite restaurant at home--Griff's Deli. And we're also going to a Hot Rods game. I love going home for the weekend when I feel like I haven't been back for a while. And then the next weekend after that is Derby...and then graduation. The months of April and May are going to fly by before I know it and then I will be working for real. Ahh!

Happy April!

April has been a great month. I'm almost 2 weeks into my 10th and final rotation. April is forever known in Lexington as the Keeneland Spring Meet.



My rotation at Central Baptist has gone extremely well. Everyone is so nice. I already have friends there that I get to spend 3 more weeks with. I can totally have seen myself working there as a technician through pharmacy school...even though I don't like being in a hospital as a pharmacist. I'm glad that I chose this as my last rotation. Tomorrow I get to package with Sandy again. She acts like I'm the best thing in the world because I help her immensely. But I just like to work and be busy. It's good to feel appreciated:)
I'm finally getting ready for graduation. I found my graduation dress today. My portfolio is complete. I just have to turn in my final paperwork after I complete my rotation. I cannot believe that it's almost over. I'm getting really excited about gradation...the ceremony itself and the pig roast. SOOOOO close!

I've had the best weekend with some great friends. Adam works this weekend, so it stinks that I don't get to hang out with him all the time; however, I'm making the best of it. Friday night I went walking with Sarah in Georgetown. Then we went to her house and played some Wii. I love the Wii and can't wait until I buy one. I just want some way to blow off steam after a long day at work...especially when I'm a pharmacist and extremely stressed out. And with me being long distance from Adam I'll have something to keep me occupied. Travis drove up from Owensboro late Friday night and we got up early yesterday and went to Keeneland. It was so much fun! We met up with some of my best pharmacy school friends...I love these people. They all came over to my apartment last night and we hung out and had a great time. Today I'm going to attend a wedding shower for one of my pharmacy school friends. So it will be a great reunion since we've all been separated due to rotations.
Speaking of rotations I only have 3 weeks of pharmacy school left...so 15 days! I can't believe it's almost here. I have had so much stuff to do that I'm trying to get it all organized. I have finished my porfolio to graduate..yay! I just have to turn in some final paperwork after this rotation is done. I really hope to get an A on this last rotation so I can graduate cum laude. I didn't even graduate cum laude from WKU..so this will be a great accomplishment for me in Pharmacy school. I mailed off my application for pharmacist licensure to the Board of Pharmacy on Thursday. I have to pay for my two exams at some point (which are REALLY expensive), but I can't actually sign up for a time to take these exams until I actually graduate and the College lets them know that I am graduated. WE are also in the middle of planning graduation festivities. Since the venue that we are having the ceremony in is basically a theatre each person is only allowed 10 tickets. Luckily I have a friend that is going to let me borrow a couple. But since only a very few members of my family are going to be allowed to attend we are having a pig roast in Bowling Green. I'm really excited. Adam is raising the pig and going to bring a cooker down. He's also supplying the keg and Mom is getting the rest of the food together. I'm going to invite several people..but we're really not expecting any more than 50 guests. I am so excited. This is a great time in my life!!

Happy Easter!

So I've started my last and final rotation. I really like the people that I work with. All the techs seem really nice that I work with. For the first 3 weeks I'm going to work primarily in the pharmacy in the hospital. The last week or so I will be up on the regular floors of the hospital with the patients. I think it's going to be a great month. But I'm sure it will be a very long month since it will be my last month in pharmacy school EVER!! I did end up leaving early on Friday so I could go to Keeneland with Adam and his friends. Mom is all worried that I won't get an A on this rotation now, but Herb didn't seem to mind...and I'm making up my hours that I missed on Monday and Tuesday. Too bad I wasn't somewhere else, because they would just let me off early:) Oh well. I am super excited Opening Day is tomorrow! I have subscribed to MLB.TV for the 2nd year in a row. This year I also bought the MLB 2010 At Bat application for my iPhone so I can watch the games when I'm not at home. I am super excited. I am addicted to baseball...well the Braves actually. Can't wait to go to Cincinatti for some games and to Atlanta as well (where I can visit Doug!). Matt ended up getting me and Adam Brooks and Dunn tickets for their last concert ever. They were super cheap because it is technically a benefit concert. So hopefully there will be TONS of country guests there. Usually when they say Brooks and Dunn and Friends there end up being a ton of country stars. Can't wait until August. And we can visit Matt's wonderful new condo in downtown Nashville. I love my Pharmacy friends.
I'm waiting for my family to get here for Easter dinner. I can't wait to see everyone. It's tough living in Lexington (and soon Louisville) because I can't just drive a few minutes to see my parents. I actually have to plan to drive several hours in a day. At least Louisville will be a little closer by about 15-30 minutes:)
