Life Off-Label

I just realized it’s been a few weeks since I updated this thing. This semester has been a lot busier for me than the last one, so things like blogs that only a handful of people read tend to get put on the backburner. It’s not just because I’ve had a job, but I’m devoting more time to studying lately. Unlike last semester where I’ve had some of the classes before, this semester is mostly new stuff. I have had immunology in undergrad, but it was one of those classes where I took the exam and immediately forgot everything I memorized. So I guess I’ll learn and forget it again!

Spring break was way too short. It was such a little tease, making me think I already started summer vacation, and then in the blink of an eye I had to return to school for another month and a half. It’s like someone lets you take a bite of the juiciest, meatiest cheeseburger ever, but then you set it down on the plate for a second, and someone takes it all away from you. You were starving for that cheeseburger too. You’ve been eating nothing but salads all semester and you just wanted something that reminded you of a world where things are happy. I digress. Since spring break and until finals we have at least an exam a week. Personally, I like when they’re spaced out like that though because it gives me several days to focus on an exam at a time. Last semester we would have a couple weeks of absolutely nothing and then “oh crap I have three exams this week.”

I’m sure it’s a super cliche thing for pharmacy students to say, and it won’t be the last time I say it, but this semester has also flown by pretty quickly. We only have a month left, and then I get a nice long summer break. I can’t wait to chill at a Rangers game, float the river, or simply read a book by the pool. Ahhh it’s going to be heavenly to just… relax. Thinking about it makes me super happy I didn’t go to one of the three-year programs I was admitted to. I would have had a two week summer break. No thank you!

PS – For those wondering, my parents, the dogs, and the house are okay. Between 6 and 13 tornadoes touched down in Dallas-Fort Worth Tuesday, but none were close to them. DFW is pretty huge. You can drive an hour and a half and still be in the metroplex, but nonetheless it’s still scary. After seeing  pictures like these it’s a miracle nobody died!
