So, I can''t believe I''m up to number 30 on the list! Mind boggling!

Anyways, I just wanted to stop in and apologize for not being around much lately. We have courses this summer and it''s the first time I''ve had a real (19 credit! eek!) courseload in the summer. Last summer we were on rotations and once in undergrad I took a single course over summer. Needless to say, it''s kicking my behind. The courses aren''t particularly hard. I would actually say that, aside from learning every chemotherapy combination EVER, this is our easiest quarter. It''s just that we are in one room for the entire day and - IT DOESN''T HAVE WINDOWS! This is dreadful because I know it''s beautiful outside and I am stuck in a dungeon!

I''m all set up to move in with SO in Sept. I still need to get my intern license for Ohio but all my rotations are set up. They aren''t exactly what I was hoping... I''m just praying I can get through them. We have career day coming up soon and I have 7 interviews so I''m nervous about that. I''m hoping they go well. I would like to have a job lined up long before I graduate. I have less than a year left of my program but I feel like it''s just now starting to get really stressful - rotations, jobs, BOARD EXAMS.... definitely not fun.

Sort of LIW-related: I have a bad habit of biting the skin around my nails. It''s totally disgusting, I know. I''ve been telling SO since we''ve been talking about engagements that he needs to let me know in advance so I can get a manicure. Well, this past week he suggested I get a manicure... and if I stop biting that he''ll pay for me to get one every two weeks! I know it''s going to be a while... probably sometime between Sept and Dec before we are engaged, but this is definitely good news!! And in the meantime, I get free manicures.

Also, today is my 22nd birthday! No engagement today. I already got my present from SO... a beautiful blue topaz ring that is currently occupying my left hand ring finger

I won''t spend today with him (or anyone, unfortunately) because I have a test Friday worth 50% of my grade in the class. But we should be going to a nice dinner this weekend, so I''m excited about that!

Okay, sorry if this was long and/or rambly! Just wanted to let everyone know what''s going on!
 
Well.. sounds like you''re very close! Just keep those hands pretty, girl!

Happy Birthday, and good luck on your test!
 
Welcome back!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! When you got a ring box were you like OMG??
 

I wish you all the best with your rotations. One of my very good friends just finished her anesthesiology program and we are all beyond thrilled for her!


And more importantly:

I wasn''t because I picked it out, haha. We went together. He''s not really a good gifter... I accept that about him. He''s like "If I''m spending x amount of money, I want it to be something you love."

But holy crap, if I would have opened a ring box not knowing it was a birthday gift and not an engagement ring, I probably would have gotten REALLY nervous thinking it was -that- time.

THanks for the birthday wishes! I''m in pharmacy, so I feel like, while they are difficult, they don''t compare to med rotations. That''s great for your friend! Anesthesiology would be so interesting!
 
WOW 19 hours that''s quite a load. I''d be biting my nails off too.

Free manicures every 2 weeks sounds like a good deal to me, and not to get you all excited needlessly but ummm September is only 6 weeks away!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!


One of my best friends is Pharmacist, and I remember quite vividly how difficult it was for him. He said that the last two years were by far the hardest. So congrats to you!

Remember: No biting nails!!!

KCCutie: Ah! September IS only 6 weeks away! That''s very exciting! I''m not really expecting anything that soon now that I think about it, but who knows what he is planning! We do 19 hours per quarter, which makes it seem even crazier. It''s like doing 4 more hours than a regular semester in half the time.

Bia: Thanks for the b-day wish. And yeah, almost every pharmacist I''ve encountered thinks the last year or two years is rough. There are some days that I think why on earth did I choose this as a profession? But most of the time, I''m really confident and happy in my decision. I''m trying to keep the nailbiting at bay but with a huge exam coming up, it''s gonna be hard!
 
Happy Birthday! Good luck on your exam and hope you enjoy the birthday celebrations this weekend.

Let''s see some pics of your present shall we?
 
Oh no! I caught myself nervously nail biting and now my fingers look bad again! I can't let SO see this. I need to be good until Friday!

Calbears - SO has our camera for his ebay adventures but when I get it back, I will definitely post some pictures. It's lovely!
 
Hey sweetie, so good to hear from you!! Sorry I''m a little late with the birthday wishes, but I hope you had a wonderful, fabulous day--or as wonderful and fabulous as it could be with studying for your test on Friday anyway.

Will we get to see a picture of this lovely blue topaz ring you received from your adorable SO? Pretty please?

Best wishes for your test tomorrow, my dear, and I''m excited that, once that test is over, you''ll be able to have a nice dinner and celebrate a bit!

Gwen - You''re such a sweetie! Thanks so much for the birthday wish. I will post a picture as soon as I get the camera back, hopefully this weekend!
