mmmm....airports!

have spent a fair amount of time in the airport in the last month...and wow it is fun. my latest issues with airtravel include that I am now deaf due to the extreme noise that came my way off a turboprop from Duluth to MPLS. seriously they should give out earplugs for that trip! And the seats! What is with the seats? I was trying to type a paper and there wasn't enough room. I am not a big person what if I was a big bad businessman...I could type up my company merger and I would sue Northwest! hehe!
Also...what is with the no pillows, blankets, lack of lighting, no earplugs, no movies, crabby ass flight attendants and no fricking food on long plane rides! I consider greater than 3 hours a long time on a plane; am I mistaken? And seriously you would have a more sleepy, quieter crowd if you fed them. Honestly, tack on five bucks that you spend on my lice infested pillow and blanket and swished ham and unknown sandwich. I would never suspect a thing!
As a side note...my G key is on the fritz...this is a greek tragedy straight out of the northwoods! Okay...merry christmas...I am gonna go facebook!

strategic snow shoveling

16...18...20 some inches of snow falls out of the sky in the last few days and it is gorgeous. However, it is all on top of my car which is parked on the street and the snowplow is working to bury it further. Now comes advice for strategic, urban snowshoveling.

• Pick a time when the fewiest bums are wondering the street...usually daylight hours work the best. It's just weird when they watch you dig your car out and then they don't help when you get stuck.
• Dress like your gonna climb Mt Everest, cause the snow goes in every place on your body possible. Also, cars drive by and spray you with road slurry...it's just gross and snowpants work as an awesome repellant.
• Bring a shovel to get the snow off the roof...and remember to take the bike rack off your car before it snows...pain in the ass!
• Make sure the gas cover opens before you go to the gas station on empty.
• Make a little trail through the snow with your feet where you anticipate your car will drive through. Although this is usually a waste of energy cause the fricky car takes on a mind of its own in the snow and usually goes the opposite way of which you have turned.
• Watch out for buses they hurt!

Have you noticed that I post alot more when I'm supposed to be studying for finals or working on a big project. HMMMM? What does all of this mean? That I'm a slacker. Woohoo!

bud light guy...

....Today we salute you, stressed out college student. As you sit in your lonely cubical in the library, doped up on starbucks and adderall, you think to yourself, am I ever going to need to know this stuff in life? The distractions are tempting and you have suddenly diagnosed yourself with ADD along with advanced delusionary schizophrenia with involuntary narcissistic rage. I'm sure by now you know exactly what everyone is doing because you have checked your buddy list 800 times. End of term is just days away, and your prozac prescription will be in tomorrow. So crack open an ice cold bud light after that last essay, because for most of us, winter will be spent in rehab....

for the record...I am not a fan of Bud light. Hence i will be replacing said beverage with an Irish car bomb, Jag-bomb, Dead-Nazi, and a Harp :)

mixed of emotions...

I'm sitting here in my living room in my sweats contemplating what I should do next. I just took my pulmonary final exam online in the comfort of my own home; what a great feeling that is. There is a lot of studying yet to complete for the two finals early next week and I don't have the drive to do it. I just want to sit here. But the thoughts keep coming back to what should I do next?
The realization that I have such a short time with my fellow classmates has come to head; on the top of the list is to cry, reminence and laugh with friends. We have such great times and such hard times. We have all grown so much from where we were when we all arrived here on that warm early September day. I have made such great friends that will confidones for life. We have all learn such great things about each other.
One of my favorite past-times is sitting in the reading room, not reading. Just hanging out, laughing so hard you could and probably have pee'd.
I would give this up for the world; it wasn't so long ago that many of us didn't want to be in Duluth. Now, I don't think you would find many with that opinion. This program and the guinea pig lifestyle by which we live have afforded us the greatest opportunity to lead, learn and evolve into great pharmacists.
I will miss you all so much. But before that I still have to pass med agents and biopharmaceutics. Study, study, study...

only one left

OMG...last class is over.

ONLY ONE SEMESTER LEFT. Woohoo. Then rotations here I come...maybe still have to pass pulmonary final, medagents final and pharmacrap final...

On second thought, I might be here for 3 more....

studying in vegas blows!

sitting in my hotel room at the aladdin on the strip studying heart failure and electrolye imbalances...yep. it's official this sucks!
why are you doing this u ask? well, missy and i have to compete at a national pharmacy conference and we figured we should know what the hell is going on tomorrow and that is not conducive to margaritas. Crap, if only it was.
FYI-never take a cab here, you will drive. never go the same weekend as the rodeo...this reminds me of college. i went to UW-river falls...and ag school...two farms on campus...yep, we liked to wear huge cowboy hats, wranglers, boots, belt buckles and carharts to class. yeehaw!
I will be drinking and gambling on sunday afternoon. yippee!
