I'm off to North Carolina for 2 weeks. I leave on Wed morning and come back on the 17th. I won't have internet out there. My mom has a house out there, but she is always in CA, so she doesn't have the cable and internet turned on out there unless she is staying for a long time. So, I'll talk to you all when...

Hey, party people!

Gosh, it's been a while since I've updated... I've been pretty busy lately with the move to Napa and preparing for the CPJE again. I've also been trying to get more hours at work since I'll be going to North Carolina for 2 weeks and obviously won't be able to work during that time. Luckily, people have been sick and I've been...

Happy Friday!

Today, I took the 2nd part of the licensure exams for Pharmacy, the CPJE. Going into the exam, I had heard a lot of different things, like this one was more difficult than the NAPLEX, which I took earlier this week, but some people said that it was easier. After taking it this morning, I can say that it is definitely easier than...

Well, after some trouble getting my fingerprints accepted by the FBI, I finally got the confirmation to sign up for the licensure exams: the NAPLEX & the CPJE. I'm scheduled for the 14th and the 17th of July (NAPLEX 1st, the easier exam...). So, now I'm kinda freaking out cause I have like 2 weeks to study!

Wish me luck!

Who has 2 thumbs and graduated yesterday???

This guy!

It is now Dr. GP.

Hi friends, it is almost graduation time, so I'm pretty excited. I'm ready to be out there hopefully making a difference in peoples' lives. I talked to the district manager a while back and he said that he had planned on putting me at the new store in Napa! I don't really know the area, but I do like the idea of being part of...

Well, I'm over halfway done with rotations. I am going into week 3 of my 4th rotation with only 2 more after this one is over. Nuclear Pharmacy is interesting, although it isn't something I can see myself doing for an extended period of time. It is more of a laboratory setting with no patient interaction, so it is a big change from retail. There...

Hello SG Land!

Quite a bit has happened since my last post. I'm now in Vallejo and doing my 2nd rotation - Critical Care.

I spend my days making sure that patients in the ICU are getting the right meds at the right doses. I also have to do presentations for the inpatient pharmacists, who are super hardcore and can sometime be condescending. I really...

I'm back at home, working, now. Tomorrow is my last day, then my family reunion on Saturday. Then, back to Stockton to continue packing. It's gonna be really weird leaving Stockton, since it has been home for the past 7 years, but I'm just so glad I passed! After my 2nd final, I was sure that I failed that class, but the professor added some...

It never ends... Every week, now, feels like finals week.

Constant studying...
High stress levels...
Self-loathing...

I'm just exhausted! The real finals are in a couple of weeks and I am really just burned out. I don't want to fail this semester, but the classes are so ridiculously hard right now that it seems like that really is a possibility, and it is really a...

Midterms start next week. Actually, this will be the last midterms I'll ever have the pleasure of experiencing! One more set of finals at the end of July, and then on to rotations!

This semester is really not going well so far. Two of the classes in particular are just ridiculous. One class - General Pharmaceutical Care II - is just hard because the professor...

I went to the Pharmacy School graduation today. I had a few friends graduate - ones who started with me back when we were doing our pre-pharm stuff. It was sooo hot out there! And, I really hate going to graduations, cause all the people that attend are like the rudest people! I mean, I understand your loved one, or whatever, is graduating, but c'mon,...
