Nervous...

I am so freaking nervous about tomorrow! I will probably freak out with the 8 AM pharmacist leaves at 4 tomorrow and leaves me there by myself until 10. At least I have plenty of people to lean on seeing as my boyfriend, roommate, and best friends are all pharmacists:) I will have plenty of time to think tomorrow since it will take around an hour to get to work tomorrow. Boo! Adam is coming to see me on Wednesday! I love when he comes and visits. It gets me something to look forward to and a partner in crime since I haven't had a chance to get out around Louisville much.
So I absolutely love my Braves! Mom, Dad, and I are going to get some tickets to some of the August and September games since it's not as miserably hot then. And if I happen to be off the last weekend of July, I will force someone to go with me to Cincinnati to watch them...haha. I have endured watching them the past several years when they haven't made the playoffs..but I still love them and have high hopes. I bought my MLB TV so I can watch every game..and even the iPhone app to watch them on my phone. So I'm glad as a dedicated fan to see them doing well:)
Ok..I guess I'll stop rambling. Please pray for me as I start work. I'm nervous to be a big girl...and be in charge. Deep breaths...

Licensed Pharmacist!!

So yes..I did pass my test and am now a registered pharmacist (RPh)! I found out last Monday while we were in Florida that I had passed the NAPLEX. On Tuesday I had my license number and called Walgreens. So now I have official pharmacist shifts starting on Tuesday. I am actually super nervous, because now I'm going to be all on my own. Ack! I have shifts scheduled through the end of July.
Florida was fantastic! We left on Saturday and came back Friday. There was not one drop of rain the whole time we were in Daytona even though it rained on us the way there and the way back. I was so excited to get to see the beach and get a nice tan:) I also enjoyed quality time with my parents even though I'm sure they would think differently...haha. I know now that I am in Louisville and working I won't get to see them as much. I drove back to Lexington yesterday because of Elliott and Kateleen's wedding. The wedding was beautiful. It was the long, long Catholic wedding with full mass...but at least if it's a Catholic wedding there was plenty of booze...even a frozen margarita machine:) I'm getting impatient in that area now. I never thought I would be, but Adam and I have been dating for over 2 1/2 years. And now that I've graduated and become licensed I'm just ready for that next step. But I know that nothing will happen soon. He is one of the slow ones. And his older brother has been dating his girlfriend longer and they will probably go in order. Ahh! But oh well, I guess I can fully focus on my career.
I am so proud of myself. I bought my Wii today since I passed my test. I hooked it up all by myself. Also I bought this wireless internet router and hooked it up all by myself..and I don't think I messed Jan's internet up on her desktop. I guess we'll see tomorrow:)

Licensed pharmacist?

Sorry it's been so long in posts...even though I doubt many people read this..haha. In my new house I haven't splurged to get the wireless router for my lab top since I primarily use my iPhone for all of my internet needs...or Adam's computer when I visit Lex, so that explains the lack of updates. I'm settling into Louisville well. I still haven't really had any time to really "settle in" since I've been back in forth to Lexington, but I have started working. Last Monday through Friday I trained at a 24 hour store really close to my house. The pharmacist let me perform all the pharmacist duties under his initials since I'm not technically licensed yet with him keeping a watchful eye on me. He said that I did really well...and I actually feel way more comfortable than I thought I would:) Then this Monday through Wednesday I floated throuughout different store and did the same thing. The techs all seem to like me, so I'm feeling confident. I can't wait to actually be licensed. Speaking of being licensed...hopefully I will find out Monday that I am officially a registered pharmacist:) I passed my law test a little under a month ago, and I took the NAPLEX this morning in Lexington. I felt really well when I left it...so I'm thinking that I passed *fingers crossed*. Plus I don't want to be the first one from UK in the past 10 years to not pass it on the first try..ack!
I'm leaving for Florida tomorrow with Mom and Dad. I wasn't originally supposed to go, but since there are so many grad interns that can only work midshifts, I asked if I could take the week off. Since it wasn't a problem I drove from Lexington to Bowling Green this afternoon after my test (with Mellow Mushroom pizza on board). Mom and I went to get a pedicure, and we leave out for Daytona around 5 in the morning. I am going to terribly miss Adam though. We have done really well with seeing each other this past month. When he's close to Louisville working in stores such as Shelbyville, I'll meet him for dinner if I'm not working. Also, if he's working Bardstown he'll come stay the weekend with me. And our weekends off we'll alternate.
My house in Louisville is working out great. I LOVE my roommate and Diesel. We got the DirectTV HD DVR hooked up in my room a couple of weeks ago...LOVE IT! And I love having HBO:) I am going to buy my Wii when I get back from Florida with several games...since I've taken my test..and I have my 10% off coupon at Target. Everything is going so well for me right now. I have been blessed with way too many good things than one person deserves. I have great friends, great family, an amazing boyfriend, and a great new career!! So next step...hopefully having my Kentucky pharmacist license pocket card when I get back from Florida so I can practice on my own.
PS...the pig roast went amazing. We didn't have a huge turnout..probably around 30 people, but we had a great time. And Kim and Josh's wedding the next day was fantastic. I love seeing two of my good friends marry each other. And I still love my Murano..even though I now have to start making payments on it..haha
