Finals, Finals, Finals :(

Well as Traci so nicely pointed out it's been awhile since I've last blogged. [over a week, which is just unacceptable to her, so i must blog] It's been a strange, busy week so I'll do a nice bulleted list of catch-up for you all. 

  • Last week was relays week so that entailed: lot of drunk people, no Friday classes [a first for us pharmacy majors], lots of alum, watching races [yes one of the few who actually watch them-also got sunburned], relays carnival, pancake breakfast, court ave celebration, etc
  • On Saturday I went to the prom movie with Nikki L, Michelle, and Courtney. It was a lot of fun and I enjoyed it WAY to much for a 21 year-old as the target audience is probably late elementary and early middle school. We were the only 4 people in the theater at the 4:10 showing though so that prob. made it better as we could talk as much as we wanted. Also I'm great at predicting movies of this genre so I was annoying Michelle with my accurateness of what would happen. 
  • We also went out for Chinese food after the movie, which was fun even though the place was like silent. I had some crab rangoon [pretty much the only Chinese food I like] and it was good. Also tried a little of the others food. Overall had a great time hanging out with these girls and chatting about the movie and life.
  • Sunday was a nice study day for me. After church I went to Panera and studied awhile after eating a bacon turkey bravo. Then I came back to campus and had dinner, a couple of meetings, and then studied some more.
  • Monday I had a future in-house meeting which was good. Then I went to a recruitment counselor training-got to know some rules, more of the girls, talked about stereotypes, etc. I thought it was a pretty successful meeting. Then I went on a little Kum and Go run with Carley and studied a bit before going to bed.
  • Tuesday I slept in later than anticipated and then went to classes. After class I had to meet with a couple of people. Then I stopped at Kum and Go for a big gulp or go kup or whatever it's called, got jimmy johns and headed for the library. I found one of my favorite tables was opened so I sat there and was the annoying girl eating while the room is silent while I studied. Then I had an in-house meeting so I had to go back to the house. After that I went to quiet study and studied for my test on Wed.
  • Today was a roller coaster of emotions. Last night I failed to turn my alarm on so I got up at 7:45 for my 8 am test. Not a good start. I changed my sweatshirt so I wasn't wearing the exact same thing as the day before and took my test. I thought it went ok, not super, but decent. Then I went home and checked my test and thought that I did pretty well. When I then got the score back from the teacher I realized I didn't do as well as I'd hoped. I had misread some of the questions so I actually had missed them. That was disappointing as I really needed to do well on this final. Then I went to the library to get 2 books that were reserved for me. I went to work which was fine-some guy really explained his symptoms to me today, which I don't think I was quite a fan of, but whatever. Then I attempted to write a paper, but didn't get far and watched tv. Then I talked to my mom for a while before going to IV. It was senior night and so it was great to hear from all of the seniors about their advice, etc. It's crazy to think that next year that will be me. After IV I went to hang out with some DGs and tried the new frozen strawberry lemonade from McDonalds, which is pretty tasty. Now I'm blogging to make Traci happy!

Well that is pretty much a little catch-up on my life. Even though I didn't do so well in my 1 class I need to just remember that my worth is not in my grades. This is something that I constantly struggle with, especially in the major that I chose. Also when I don't study very well at the beginning of the semester it really hurts me in the end. You would think that since I do this every semester I would finally start studying and doing well at the beginning, but it still hasn't happened. Hopefully next year will be much better. Now I'm off to bed. Tomorrow is my last day of classes as a P1 so that's a little strange. Then I'll be busy this weekend with studying, DG stuff, lifeguard training, etc. Sorry I don't have any pictures of any of these events to break it up a little. I just didn't have my camera out I guess.


*Traci I probably won't update my blog again until at least next Thursday unless something very important happens, because that's when I'll be home and done with school stuff. Hopefully you can find something to do with your time without reading about my life. Like possibly start a blog I know I'd read it! :)

  1. Yea, I could start my own but it would probably sound a lot like this:

    Well I woke up and had breakfast while watching the Today show because my internet wasn't working right away. Then when I got my internet to work I checked Facebook and of course Emily's blog. She had actually updated it!! Then the rest of my day is boring..

    Probably every third thing I would say would be: checked Emily's blog, nothing.

    I'll try to keep myself occupied but it will be tough. Maybe I should just start my blog as comments on your blog and then maybe some of your followers will read it! ;)

    Anyway, I am not sure when I will see you again and it kind of makes me sad. That's all I have. Have a great week since I won't hear from you in a while again!
