just another day

...in the lab....



this is what we have to wear in our pharmacy labs... yes i am wearing scrubs and a white jacket.... yes that makes me look cool... yes i know its a blurry picture and the sun is really bright yes i know that i might not actually really cool but just halfway dorky yes its time for bed ALSO- for all of you who i might not have told... my GPA for my first semester of pharmacy school here at memphis was a 3.3 thats 4 As, 1 B, and 1 C.... and just to clear things up incase maybe you were about to say "thats not so great!".... my GPA at UTK was a 2.6 and that was only after i pulled it up with a big final semester (in which i took 19 of some of my hardest hours.... ugh...). So... yeah... when I put it like that... its not too shabby... actually thats the best GPA i've gotten in a single semester since 10th or 11th grade of highschool... perhaps i'm excercizing the slacker demons? Perhaps this stuff is more "up my alley".... or maybe i payed off the teachers... which ever- i still got a 3.3 and you can't take that away... well... i hope you can't... and if you can i might ask that you please don't because i'm really proud of that. ALSO- i'm living in the fraternity house and that is going great. I love being here and getting to be friends with so many cool and talented people. In addition, i have been asked by a couple of people if i was considering running for president of the fraternity (of roughly 125 people or so)... and since those couple of people are the current president and last years president, i've given it some thought and i'm giving it a definite maybe. I think i could win the race and go for the gold because everyone seems to dig me a bunch and i dont really say mean things or offend anyone... the real question is if its worth the blood sweat and tears that i would have to put into the job next year.... any thoughts? I had a great time getting to see Mandy and my friends in knoxville... and by my "friends" i mean anyone who wasnt too busy watching TV or pretending to play frisbee to come and see me. I ALSO had a great time catching up with my pharmacy friends at the KMART. I got to see Todd and Sue and Brandi (see... i spelled it right!). I spent many a stressed out day bearing my soul to them about how bad i wanted to get to go to UT to be in pharmacy school and it felt good to go back and see them after i had finially made it. Todd (pharmacist) was in the OTHER fraternity and i felt bad that i couldnt say i was in his same one... i just got along with the people here much better... i hope i didnt let him down too bad. I gave brandi a big hug and i realized how much i missed working there and how close i had grown to my co-workers over the 2.5 years i was there. They really helped me out in so many ways. I missed Jenny and Bob- I need to get a hold of their email addresses. OK well i think its bed time. later
