New Semester

Off to a crap start...haha got a C on the first big exam of the year...
hopefully will do better next time..just made a bunch of dumb mistakes..
ANyways...I get to come home in less than 2 weeks!!...So excited..normally i'd have to wait until May to come home...but lucky me...its only been a month since christmas and i get to come back already

Played for church again today...love the church down here...asked for a CD of our worship set...and decided to put it up cuz a few of you asked what its like down here..
so here it is..

Thanksgiving

So...just finished the last class of the day....and now we have 9 days off for thanksgiving break.. Most of the people are going home..so that leaves me stuck here in Charleston pretty much by myself.. i guess it'll be good to relax a bit and just do nothing for a couple days..

So I started playing keyboard for my church down here...it's awesome...feels good to play again...Played in a sunday night praise and worship and the leader said that he's been getting non stop emails about how awesome that night was...

so 3 weeks till home time!...woot...running low on money so ive been trying to go easy on the spending...which means no black friday shopping for me this year..
School's going decent...pretty much All A's except for one B so far...hopefully i can keep that up...

Pet Peeves

I can say that I get annoyed really really easily....i just know how to hide it well from people...But i guess its not a good thing to just hold stuff in...so i guess ill vent a little and blog about it..haha
there was a lot of stuff that annoyed me back home.. ive got a list of things about people on c-trains and buses that piss me off..ahha but that's for another day.
Dishes is the net annoyance down here...seriously how do we accumulate two sinkfuls of dishes after 1 meal...its ridiculous...Everytime i cook, i wash the dishes right away after i cook so it makes cleanup a lot easier...but i haven't cooked for awhile cuz of how busy school's been getting...so that means the roommates are cooking..
I would wash their dishes at the beginning of the year..but now im just getting tired of doing that...so i'll let it pile up until they get on it..it just annoys the heck out of me seeing a sinkful of dishes after one meal...
meh...anyways..this next week is gonna be pretty bad..
Exam monday...Assignment Monday...Lab Monday...Exam Tuesday....Quiz Wednesday Assignment Wednesday....Site thursday.....Exam Friday....Exam next monday....ahhhh
but then after that...it should be pretty relaxed until American thanksgiving..
I've got a lot more peeves that i could write....but i think i'll save it for another time....time to get back to studying pharmaceutical biotechnology....sweet..

RIP Ronsauce....

This week has been crap...absolute crap...School's been getting ridiculously busy...Wednesday had 3 quizzes and an exam...Today 1 quiz and a kinetics exam...No time to do anything but study..
Wednesday was probably one of the worst days ive ever experienced...I was in lab when Gabe Yee msn messaged me and asked me if I knew Ronnie Choi...
Obviously, I said yes...but looking at Gabe's away message...(Rip Ronnie)...there's that feeling of ..WTF?...
So Gabe explained to me what happened..and obviously my initial feelings were shock..
I worked with ROnnie over the summer at the pharmacy and have known him since we were in junior high when we played badminton together...so yea...its definetely mind blowing..
When Gabe told me how they found him...of course you want to know why and what happened...but I think we gotta focus on the good stuff..we'll leave the reasons in the past..
I think being down here for school is definetely buffering the feelings and emotions...even though we weren't best friends or anything...but i think if I were at home...it would be way different..just seeing different people react...that would be tough..
Well...Ronsauce...hope ur in a better place...

Settled In...

It's almost been a month now that I've been back in Charleston...time's going really really slowly..Classes have been going for about 2 weeks now....really boring...and I'm still not in the study mode yet..doesn't help that I've got a tv in my room now.
Anyways..pretty much all settled in and just ready to get back into school mode...Car and insurance are taken care of....might have to get a WV drivers license in the future though...but for those who don't know..i got myself a sweet 1998 Chevy Prizm...haha off a classmate....Works well...only bad things are appearance...it's basically pink...right side door handles are broken inside...and the back left tailight is busted....but other than that...for 700 bucks...i can't really complain at 80000 miles (120Ks)..
Been cooking lots..it's been fun..making some nicer meals like Pesto Chicken/Bacon Pizzas....Garlic White wine cream sauce rotini with marsala chicken...some nice fried rice...should be a good year for food...
Should probably get to studying though...
Bah...

Here we go again...

I'm sitting on my bed...930 pm Saturday August 16th...just watched phelps win his 8th Gold medal...ridiculous....one guy has more medals than all of Canada..
Anyways...ill be at the airport in about 8 hours from now...getting ready for another year of Pharmacy school down in West Virginia..
It feels a little different this time....I'm not as scared as last year...since I've already been down there a year...but there's definetely still nervousness...

This year I have to find a car....get car insurance...cook on my own...budget properly...it'll definetely be interesting...Money is definetely an issue this year...and i'm a little worried about how my spending is gonna be down there...Last year i barely spent anything a week...Im thinking it'll be majorly different this year because of all the stuff I have to do.

I'm excited to start up school again...see some friends...hopefully play some cheap golf..and just get life started again,....the summer has been good...gained a ton of experience working at London Drugs Pharmacy...so hopefully that'll help me this year in terms of rotations and lab work type stuff.

Anwyays....I think that's enough for now...I'll update again once I get down there and settled into the house...Frick,....gotta get a mattress..
