my thought of the day!

studying sucks ass!

cloud 9.5...

this is where i have been living lately and i love it...
i cannot be super rattled by BS and my deep disdain for them...
MO is upset because i am not as upset as she is and evidently i am difficult to complain to these days...
our not-so-secret but we try endeavor is super fun...
and soon i will find out how fond distance will make the heart...deep breathes!
i am smitten! hehe...i don't think i know what that word means but it sounds fun.

san fran recap!

Okay...so there were no drunken posts. But there is a valid reason for that; I'd drink myself silly which is usually the fuel for technology adventures. Why, you say, did you not imbibe in copious amounts? Well, we stayed in a frightening neighborhood and I at times feared I would be taken and, well, I prefer to be sober for kidnappings and such.
But I had lots of other fun, we did lots of sightseeing...alcatraz, lombardi street, the wharf, ghiradelli square, napa valley, mondovi winery tours, union square, the "rice-a-roni" trolleys, strip clubs (we walked by everyday on the way to the conference), awesome shopping and an anti-war protest...
Hung out with small positive chance guy for 24 hours a day for 7 days! It was the longest date of my life...and it was amazing.
Went to the pharmacy conference, was totally annoyed with stupid people who display poor planning and blame it on me, learned that you can do anything if you lie well, and finally that drama runs rampant when 120 pharmacy students from the same school travel together. Seriously, we could have taped a soap-opera!
OMG...and they had amazing food! I was super adventurous in my food selections and very proud of myself. Sushi, tempora, sake, unknown chinese food, copious amounts of garlic and clam chowder. I don't like seafood so this was a huge step outside the box.
Okay...have to go to Kappa Psi initiation...back to the bullshit!
T-28 days until I am done with pharmacy school bookwork! Yeehaw!

leaving on a jet plane

Leaving for san fran tonight! I have never been so excited to leave on vacation in my life. I was awake at 8 am this morning ready to get on the plane; to bad it doesn't leave MPLS until 9 pm. There are 108 pharmacy students from the University of Minnesota traveling to Cali to make some noise for the professional, drink some beverages and see some sites. It is not so warm there but we have a heated outdoor pool which I be relaxing in and checking out the dudes; one in particular! hehe. We have wireless free internet in the hotel which I equate to drunk dialing. Bad things always end up published when drunk.
Going to alcatraz tomorrow...hopefully they don't try to keep me. Yikes. Fun updates to follow!

a sad ending to a wonderful life...

I am not a sports fan. It is just not something that I do; I prefer PBS. But I will never forget who I wanted to be when I was 7 years old...Kirby Puckett! You were my idol; the reason why I would spend hours with my brothers catching fly balls and played 12 years of softball year round until a high school coach broke my spirit. You incited a little piece of excitement in everyone every time your name was mentioned. I watched you on TV with my grandpa...I didn't know much about the game but I knew that you were always the one that made the game fun to watch. In some weird way, I credit you with helping my grandpa and I get along so well. I don't have time to be sad this week; I have a pediatrics exam in one hour and need to study. You lived a wonderful life and I was greatly saddened but hopeful when I saw that you had experienced a stroke. It was your time and you will be remembered well. Rest in piece Mr Puckett!
