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..

Home in 9 days!!!!!!

Feels like spring

Weather is reaching 70s now...

Went to church yesterday morning...then the gym...then studied outside and walked around for an hour....nice and relaxing..

Was supposed to start studying...but instead went to play a little softball...then hit the driving range...

Was gonna study after that...but then we had a little BBQ cookout outside the dorms...

So SUnday...basically turned into a day of relaxation...guess it was good

Driving Range was one of the dingiest places i have ever seen...oh well...atleast i got to hit a few..

Seriously?!?

We were talking about vending machines in class today as part of a discussion in Clinical Research methods class...and the topic of chips came up and how the vending machine had a new flavor of chip



Ketchup chips...



people in the class were like ...WTF is ketchup chips? that sounds disgusting...



I was flabbergasted...I've had ketchup chips since I was 5 years old or ever since i could remember...

So i googled it...and apparently it's a Canadian delicacy....

Wow...my mind is in shock..

haha

Back to it...

Well...after a tough week...i'm back in Charleston for the 2nd half of the semester...
It was really hard seeing Granny this past week...I bawled my eyes out on saturday at the wake cuz it was the first time i saw her in person since December. She looked a lot different, a lot weaker, a lot skinnier...I think all of that just got to me as I broke down in the back of the funeral home.
The funeral yesterday went really smoothly and everyone said it was really touching. The older girl cousins gave the eulogy as well as one of my aunts. EVeryone was crying throughout the entire thing.
I keep thinking to myself that Granny's gonna be cold in the cemetary and I keep thinking back on when she woudl ask me to get her another blanket in December...
I'll definetely come visit you as often as I can granny..

One and a half months left till home time....seems unreal that year 1 is almost coming to a close...Definetely need to find a job and make some spending money for next year..
It's late...should get some sleep...

Peace out
