Ok, so I finally got enough breathing room in the middle of all these exams to write a quick post about Warrior Dash. It. Was. Awesome! I don’t think I’ll be able to do a “normal” 5K now. It’ll just be too boring. No mud? No fire? Nobody wearing a viking hat or painted like…

I’ve noticed when running, that that hardest part is finishing that last bit to the end. The beginning of my run was easy. I was so full of energy and had pep in every step as I bounce along in my shoes. But by the end I am exhausted. Sweat is pouring down my face,…

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…

Last weekend I made my first trip to a national pharmacy convention and my first visit to New Orleans. Here’s a few highlights… Since I was checking a bag, it only cost a little more to upgrade to first class on my flight from Oklahoma City to Dallas. I had my first taste of what…

Last week, we took a horrible exam in pharmacokinetics. I can’t speak for my classmates, but for me that was the worst exam of my life. It wasn’t that we blew it off. I pulled an all-nighter studying, and judging by the amount of sweatpants and hoodies at the exam I don’t think I was…

When first started working at my hospital, this weird sound over the intercom freaked me out. I didn’t know what it was, and at one point I thought I my mind was hallucinating voices. Then I realized it’s a slightly eerie, but sweet sound of a lady humming to the tune of “lullaby”, and one…

I was born in Illinois, and have many fond memories of playing in the snow. Mom would help my sister and I get all bundled up like little marshmallows. We’d go outside to make forts out of the piled up snow from the snow plows, make snow angels, and throw snowballs at each other. Once…

Each day of week 5 is so different that it seems like it should pan out over a few weeks. Going from 5 minutes of jogging at a time to 8 minutes the next time to 20 minutes right after that is just not me. I’m more of a fan of doing things gradually. I…

In case you missed it, there’s been a pretty big stir lately when the news broke out that the Susan G. Komen foundation decided to no longer provide grants to Planned Parenthood to help fund breast cancer screenings. Komen claims it’s due to a policy that prohibits funding for organizations under congressional investigation, and technically…

After working for years at a various positions in various grocery stores, I was pretty confident that I would not like retail pharmacy. I assumed it would be a glorified version of those crappy grocery jobs with the added bonus of dealing with insurance companies, and after putting in over 50 IPPE hours at a…
