I don't have class on Fridays (the first and only time for this pharmacy major) so I went to work Friday morning, then out to lunch with some DG alums at Exile Brewing in Des Moines. It's a newer restaurant and was really good. I had the pesto chicken salad sandwich and fries. Their fries are seasoned with some herbs and were AMAZING (at least to me). Then I headed to DMU to take part in a simulation lab. Each P3 pharmacy student has the opportunity to go once. We work with DMU med students and some nursing students to treat a "patient" their is a lead physician who is the voice of the patient and we treat the patient like it is a real person and try to diagnosis and treat him/her. It's hard to explain, but it was a great experience. I was really overwhelmed because we hadn't learned some of the information related to the case yet (we just learned about it yesterday), but it was still really interesting. It showed me how much work I still have to do to apply information that I learn in classes and can get right on a test to a real-life situation.
After sim lab I went home and got my stuff packed in my car and then Carina stopped at Ken and Wade's so we could drive home together. After we got home we hung out around the house for a bit before her roommate Brooke came to our house. We then ate supper with my mom, dad, Carina, and Brooke and had some good family chats. Then the girls all decided to go to the high school football game. We didn't get there until right before half time and were only there for about 30 minutes when it started storming so the game was postponed for a bit. We decided just to go home since we didn't want to sit out in the rain.
After we got home I gave instructions to my mom about our tailgating dish (I read her the directions from the blog post online) and chatted for a bit and Carina's other friend from college Sarah came over. We then all went to bed since we had an early morning football game to go to. We headed to Ames, tailgated and then us college kids sat in the student section. I'd never sat in the student section at an ISU game so it was a new experience for me. It was very similar to any other student section and I had fun even though ISU lost and it was kind of rainy for the beginning of the game. After the game we headed to Isaac's frat for some food (it was family weekend) and got a tour of the frat before we headed back home.
Saturday night Carina showed her friends the great town of Hampton before Sarah headed home. Then Carina, Brooke, mom, dad and myself went to a comedian at our church. He was pretty entertaining. Not the funniest ever, but not too bad.
Sunday we went to church and then hung out around the house and I did some homework, watched a movie, etc.
Monday we helped clean a family friends house and did some more homework and then I Tuesday I think I pretty much just hung out some more around the house.
I really enjoyed being home (like usual) and I wish it was longer, but o well it was still a great break. Now I'm finally getting back into my usual school routine so that is always good as well!
