That's my man!

I mean, hot damn! Ok, I'm done now I promise.

Sorry for my long absence!! I've been remarkably busy if you can believe that lame excuse. So much to report! Firstly, life in Big Rapids has slowly become much, much better than it was in the beginning. I've met more people on my floor and in my classes, so that's helped a lot. Beth (who lives across the hall) and I have become really good friends, campus is really beautiful too--AND I JUST DROPPED MY CONTACT ON THE FLOOR AHHH!!! *searches for it blindly*

Pharmacy school is ok so far--the trouble is we all have the same schedule and our professors know it. So if they feel we need more time on something, they just keep us longer than the class period allows, or they schedule study sessions outside of class. Today for instance I only had class officially for three hours, but four additional hours of study sessions were added to the schedule, so I was actually in class for seven hours straight. Gaaawd. Other than that it's just what everyone told me it would be. It's enjoyable but it'll require a lot of work. I'm with other students just as smart as me who will do everything extra for the good grade--it's just important not to fall behind.

I was gone for the weekend with Mike, Nick and Colleen to Burt Lake and it was a glorious end to the summer. We had some great weather for tubing, jet skiing, swimming, and just being outdoors in general. We shot off some fireworks, played boardgames (in which Mike beat the crap out of everyone), and visited Harbor Springs for some kick-ass homemade icecream. On Labor Day we got up early to drive to the Mackinac Bridge for the five-mile annual walk across. There were a ton of people and I had to pee the entire hour and a half it took to walk to the other side, but man it was a lot of fun. I've uploaded pictures from the weekend to Flickr--enjoy!

Beth: My sister likes to sing, "Pharmacy school drop out, no graduation day for you..." to the tune of the Beauty School song in Grease to me. Let me just tell you how confident that makes me feel!
Me: HAHAHA. That's awesome.
Beth: Oh yeah? I'll serenade you on the way to class before our 1st exam--it'll be great
Me: lol there's nothing better than low expectations!
