Catch Up

Well I seem to be doing lots of catch-up posts lately so sorry about that. I'm not going to say that I will for sure start blogging regularly, but I will try to more consistent for the rest of the semester.

Here is what I have been up to since August when school started.

• I go to school everyday, but Friday. I'm usually pretty busy with school related things and tend to have a least 1 test and 1 quiz each week if not more than that (hence the lack of blogging)
• So far my classes have been going pretty well and I'm enjoying the majority of my classes as well
• I've started looking at rotations for next year. I'm for sure going to Alaska for my ambulatory care rotation and I'm also looking at doing a rotation in India, possibly for the FDA, and some at a variety of other locations throughout the country, but mainly in Iowa. It's crazy that I'm starting to actually look at rotation!
• I've been watching Iowa State games and have gone to 3. My grandpa has actual seats this year and I got to sit in them for 1 game, but was on the hill for the other 2. Iowa State has been playing pretty well so far and the games have been really packed so it's been a lot of fun. Hopefully they will pick it up after last game and win some more games so it's a little better to watch!
• I went home one weekend and ran a 5k with Traci and Halie. Traci and I also made an appearance at a high school football game where Deb and Aaron met us. It was great to catch up a bit with all of these people and running was fine as well I guess.
• I've started going to "study tables" with a group of my pharmacy friends. That is what we are calling it where we go to each others houses and study on Sunday evenings. Depending on what class we are studying for it tends to be more just eating and chatting and less studying, but it's a lot of fun. I'm glad that I have this small group of girls to keep me sane during some parts of pharmacy school.
• I'm a leader for KQ (Sunday School) and Powerlife (confirmation) this school year. It's a lot of fun so far and I'm leading a great group of kids. 
• Lutheran Church of Hope is currently doing an all church study on The Story. It's been really great so far. The sermons, all children's programming, and adult studies are doing topics based on the weeks reading. So far I've really liked it especially since I'm doing it with all different age groups. I love looking at each story for a little bit different perspective.
• I went to the movie Pitch Perfect on Tuesday and it was amazing. I highly recommend it to anyone. It's hilarious!
• I've been doing quite a bit so far this semester for my pharmacy experiential hours. I'm doing some hours at an ER so that is really cool to be able to see what a pharmacist can do in an ER setting. Also I gave flu shots for the first time yesterday and I'll be giving some more on Friday and Saturday.

Ok that's all I have for now and can remember doing this first month and a half of school. If I remember any other highlight I will be sure to share it, but I don't think there was much more since I mainly just go to school and work.
