Pharmacy Day

So apparently yesterday was College of Pharmacy Day or something, and we didn't have any class. Of course, instead of going to class from 1-4, we had to be at Williams Auditorium on main campus at 8 am, where we remained until 3:30 that afternoon. I must say, although in most respects I believe Ferris is a much nicer school (as far as how well it's taken care of) in comparison to WMU, Miller Auditorium is much better than Williams. But I have a sneaky feeling (triggered by the teal-colored auditorium seats) that FSU's Williams Auditorium was built about thirty or some odd years before Miller. I guess Western wins this round. *ding!*

Anyway, back to Pharmacy Day. We spent the first three hours speaking with representatives from just about every type of pharmacy you coud imagine--retail, independent, hospital, and nuclear pharmacy, as well as pharmacy in the Navy, Air Force, and the Army. Everybody had free stuff to bribe us with and I stuffed my bag full of pens, coffee mugs, back massagers, chip clips, Pez dispensers, and even an adorable stuffed puppy wearing a pharmacy lab coat. Not to mention I think I have about a million business cards, and several hopeful offers for summer internships. Afterwards we gathered in the auditorium to listen to some rather dull (and political) guest speakers. We broke for lunch, got into our respectful groups for group discussions of current pharmacy issues, then concluded back in the auditorium to get our free t-shirt. Pharmacy students from their first year all the way through the fourth years were present, and it was an interesting (though very long) day of interacting. I feel significantly more involved in stuff for some peculiar reason.

I got my hair cut after they let us loose, and had about two and a half inches cut off. It's just slightly shorter than the haircut I had over the summer which Kate did for me, but it's still a big change from my shoulder-length hair. I feel like I've taken an enormous step backwards in the growing-my-hair-out process. but if anyone knows how to do it it's me. I made sure the stylist cut out all of my drastic layers and split ends, so that this is probably the last serious haircut I'll have to get for a long time. Now all of my hair can grow at the same pace, rather than the top being dramatically shorter than the bottom.

Two weeks from today and I'll be in my first day of Thanksgiving break. :D After that it's downhill to Christmas, but my life will essentially suck complete ass until finals are over. I have another Biochem exam on Tuesday and I feel like I NEVER STOP STUDYING for that stupid class. Uuugh, what a world.

Ok. I'm going to go eat something delightful now, like Ramen.
