Wonderful days!!!

yes, wonderful days still exist, and today was one of them...this morning i got to work to find that what i was supposed to do, I wasn't need for...So I picked a pharmacist I wanted to shadow....So I helped out in the micu today and learned a lot, and had a really great day...I also got off of work next Friday night so that I can go to a rehearsal dinner that I really wanted to attend....then after a great day at work I set off to walk home, which was fine since Charles has picked me up for the last two weeks...but I got outside of the hospital, about to start walking home and Charles surprises me!!! WITH ROSES!!!! then we went and he bought groceries to cook me an amazing dinner of shrimp stir-fry and strawberries...then home to relax and watch my new favorite movie "just like heaven" (great movie, great lessons)...now I am procrastinating bed time by watching the Braves vs Mets with my Charley....the only thing that would make the day better would be not having to work tomorrow, but only one more week of full time, then it is study time....So to all of you out there, I hope you have a wonderful weekend, may it be half as wonderful as my day today was...love you all!!!!

i ran 3/4 of a mile....at one time....without stopping....and it is getting easier.....i am so excited....maybe soon ill be able to say "i'm going running" and really run the entire time with no walking....my goal right now is 1 mile....maybe by next week....that would be awesome....

Sunday, July 23

ahhh, a nice Sunday afternoon....I was able to take a very much needed hours nap, and then up and a'tm....charles left for work around 330 and ever since I have been trying to get caught up with all the lovely 'stuff' that must get done before the start of classes...I have been filling out deferment forms, searching forbearance options, and finishing up my immunization stuff....I found out last week that I would be able to defer my government loans, but my personal loans are not eledgible....translation "way too much money each month that I am not going to have"....right now it is my personal loans that I am struggling to pay and since I can not defer them I will have to continue to pay (more money that you want to know) each month while I am in pharmacy school (already paying out my butt for tuition)...so I am looking at forbearance options, but they look really difficult to get, and they only last a max of 12months, so I am slowly starting to stress...I don't want to work, but I may not have much of an option....I wish there was a way I could make a quick 50k that sure would make things easier...oh well I'll just deal one day at a time, not much else I can do....I also spent a bit of the afternoon studying, ah yes, trying to get back into my good study habits is proving to be a little harder than I thought, but I am making it....we have a medical terminology test the first day of school, so I am trying to cram all this in my head (800+ pages of medical jargon) but it is pretty interesting, and it is helping me understand so much more at work....It really is like learning a complete new language, kinda cool....yesterday we went to number 4 of the 9 weddings for the summer, it was sarah's and was very pretty....I am so happy for all of my friends (and Charles') that are getting married, best of luck to them all.....well I guess I need to get up and become productive again, my kitchen smells like the meatloaf I made for lunch so I'll probably tackle that first...later

Thursday, July 6

Well, what a day....I am finally at home, sitting on my mother's new couch watching Charley sleep, and finally fixing my ipod....and my thought "THANK YOU GOD, I AM SOOO BLESSED" an event this afternoon has really put everything into perspective...today on the way home to jackson, at about 4:45pm, in the pouring rain outside of meridain mississippi, charles and myself almost died...we were in a bad wreck, but thankfully we were both completely unharmed (well except for a scratch on charley's arm)...we hit a water pocket and spun out of control, across a lane of traffic, stopping only because we hit a rather sturdy tree...our tail end spun out so thankfully we went down the ditch tail first, if it was the other way around we would be in a hospital somewhere, if we were lucky....it was one of the weirdest feelings in the world...as we spun, charles was amazingly calm, just saying "brace yourself" and we did, holding on to each other, i just closed my eyes and hoped for the best...i had a flash back to high school when i spun out in the snow and just stopped on the side of the road completely fine, that is what i remembered this time and i thought "please let that happen again....i am so not ready to die" there is so much in my life, so many dreams and aspirations that i have not accomplished, this makes me realize that each of those is a gift, i will be so extremely grateful to complete them all now...Also there are so many people in my life that i am thankful for, people that i know at times i take for granted...i can not even begin to make a list of all my family, friends, mentors, and even some people that i have not yet met that have influenced me and my life....to all of you (pretty much anyone readying this)....thank you, thank you....i love you all

ps pretty sure my car is totaled....will post pictures and update soon....

Well I am slowly getting the hang of my new toy...but as it usualy goes something isn't working...my ipod is completely wigging out...the screen is flashing the apple logo & it won't stop... I have tried everything that the apple website suggests but nothing seems to do the trick... My computer doesn't recognize my ipod and therefore I am not able to update or restore the little buger.. think that my only option left is to just send it in to apple... so please if anyone knows or has a suggestion of how I can fix it, please please, please help me. . . other than that small crisis everything else is going well... Charles & I are going home to Jackson this weekend & I am so pumped! I haven't been home in so long; am very excited about seeing my family & doing some shopping with my Charley!! It is going to be awesome ...As far as work is gong, well it is going... same usual stuff, but i am getting to observe some pharmacists occasionally & that is always exciting!! Hmm... what else, I have already been studying for my first test of pharmacy school is a medical terminology test & it is very extensive... but it is neat learning alot of the diseare states & stuff, infact Ishould probably be doing that now...I will try to blog mores tarting now so you will all be updated as I get ready to start Pharmacy school... I AM Sooo Pumped!!!
