Rotations

So today our rotation sites were released to us. We knew it was coming, but we weren't sure exactly when. Part way through therapeutics someone in a group behind me said they were up so of course everyone in my group starting logging into the site and seeing where we were assigned. This excitement of course threw off everyones focus and no one was really listening to what the prof was saying. She realized this and then allowed us each to look at the sites for 3 minutes and told us to focus for the rest of the class period. This helped a little, but really for the rest of the day I wasn't that focused on what either of my professors were saying.

Finding out where I will be spending my next year and where I will be able to put the last 5 years of schooling into practice before going off into the "real" world where I don't have a pharmacist watching what I'm doing was both exciting and scary. It's so crazy to think that in 3 months I'll be done with classes and starting rotations. It honestly seemed like this day would never come so now that it's here it's crazy! I am pretty happy with my sites, I would have liked to have been out of Des Moines for a few more, but overall I think they will all be great and I will get a lot of different experiences.

Do you like how I've written so much about them without actually saying where they are? Well I'll tell you now so you'll know where to find me next year and since I can't post it on facebook since I'm off that right now.
