Seriously?


This would be what my man does when faced with the tough decisions. It's a good thing he's got me to make sure his shoes match in the morning.

Me: Mike, seriously, there was a coaster right next to it!
Mike: Yeah, I saw that. I thought.... "Eh."

So far, there's been lots of negativity in the third year of pharmacy school. Lots of "you will fail the exam," and lots of "If we catch you cheating we will do everything we can to remove you from the program." Geez. New professors can be such a drag. My class load is delightful:

  • Sociopharmacy
  • Integrated Lab V
  • Clinical Communications
  • Pharmacotherapeutics--toxicology/nutrition/nervous system
  • Pharmacotherapeutics--cardiovascular/renal
  • Drug Literature Evaluation/Study Design
  • Community Early Pharmacy Practice Experience
... for 18 credit hours. You can imagine my excitement. Pharmacotherapeutics (PhTP) is my big one, divided into two parts. There's an exam in that class every Friday, which means 14 ridiculous exams to study for in one class. Uuuuuuughs. But it gets better! Now we are required to get a 70% or better on each exam. If we don't, we FAIL, and have one more chance to take a harder, longer, completely essay/short answer "remedial" exam. If we fail that, we fail third year. We fail third year. Just like that. I'm starting to think they don't like us very much.

I'm taking the bus to school this year. That's right! I'm going green. And saving myself from having to buy a $300 parking pass. It takes me an additional 40 to get to campus, but hey, it's free.

Mike fixed my desktop!! Yeah, I came home from Labor Day and it just... didn't turn on. Apparently a stick of ram was bad, so I have to get another one sometime, but for now it runs. Just... really... really... slowly. Eh. I'm so glad Mike knows computer things, otherwise I would've just assumed it was never going to work again.

I swear, nothing can bring me down. :D

(to be fair, they can feel free to remark "women" every time driving is mentioned, EVEN THOUGH "WE ALL" know what an absolute FALLACY THAT is ;) )
