Updating again! It's only been about 2 months.. that's almost a new record for fastness!;) I liked how the quiz answers were all nice. Hahaha. Summer's been goood so far. Working lots, sleeping some, going out some too. I went to Saskatchewan for a week a while ago, when our car died on the side of the road. It wasn't too exciting being stuck in small town Saskatchewan for a few hours, but we eventually made it to our destination with my aunt comeing to get us. The engine blew, and the car's still not fixed, so we're learning how to share cars even more now. I'm going to Calgary next weekend to see Cirque du Soliel, and stopping off by Red Deer to visit a few of my pharmacy friends. Who knows, I might even get a chance tho do drinking in a hick town again... always lots of fun!!! So that's exciting. And then it's my birthday, and we're going out on the 24th... a Saturday (everyone come, probably to the Iron Horse... maybe I'll even update again to let you know for sure;)) Speaking of going out... I'm going to the Stone House tonight, probably around 10 or 10:30, so everyone should come then too ;). Other than that not much is new. I've been procrastination on all of my pharmacy projects, which I have good intentions of working on this weekend. We'll see how that goes. :) | | 5:05 pm |

Omigosh, I'm actually writing! I know, I know, it's crazy... I'm super tired and can't go to bed untill my clothes finish washing, because I need them for tommorow, and they need to dry. And I've checked my email and checked my grades, and was looking for something to keep me occupied when I realized that I could update my journal, which hasn't been updated for quite a long time. So what can I say...? School went well this year. I might pull a 3.5 average, which would be pretty sweet. I've been working at the pharmacy 3 days a week, and start full time tommorow. After working in the pharmacy since Feb., I've been questioning whether this is the career path that I really want to take. Pharmacists are well respected, well educated, well paid professionals, and I think that a lot of the patient interactions are very interesting and helpful, but I'm not entirely convinced that it's what I want to do. Not that I ever really was convinced... after taking 2 years of science and other stuff, and doing well in everything, but not becoming really passionate about anything, I applied for pharmacy on the last day to do so, not for any particular reason, just that I thought it might be interesting. There was a catch though (besides the $60 application fee). I had to write a letter detailing why I wanted to go into pharmacy and what I wanted to do with it, and my knowledge of the profession. So I had to think... I found it appealing because it was a medical profession (which I have some interest in) that doesn't have to deal with the blood-and-guts part (which I don't handle very well). There's also guaranteed job, which is not common all the time after getting a university degree. There were some other things too... Anyways, mid summer I received my acceptance letter and other materials, so I guessed that that would be the new plan. And there were 800 and some applicants, and 110 selected, with another 10 being let in close to the time that school started, and my marks had been good, but not outstanding, so I figured that maybe there was some reason that I had applied and been accepted, that maybe this was what I am supposed to be doing. But I'm finding it's like everything else. I'm doing fairly well, and I like my classes, and my job's not too bad, but I'm not really loving it. So maybe it's not what I should be doing. Or maybe I expect too much, and my expectations and standrds are too high. Or maybe it just needs more time. Maybe I'll continue with it and have a mid life crisis. Who knows? Anyways, my clothes are done, and so am I. | | Wednesday, January 7th, 2004 | | 4:10 pm |
Hahaha, again!!! I like this one better ;) | | 3:54 pm |
Wow!
Not only am I posting, I took a test, and posted the answers in the journal! Hahaha. This may seem like a simple task to some, but I'm not the most knowledgable computer person in the world. I suppose I should write something with a little more substance... This semester should be pretty good. Although I'm not completely convinced that I've chosen the right career path, I like my classes, and can see myself somewhere in the health sciences field. My schedules is pretty good too... I have all my classes and labs n MWF, and have TR off. Well, not really. I have to complete my "mandatory volunteer" hours those days, but all in all, it's not too bad. Most of the time. Whatever ;) | | 3:52 pm |

So, like I figured, I've abandoned live journal for an extended period of time... not like I'd even really been so involved that it would be classified as abandoning, but here I am now. And like I've been told, this isn't an update on my life, it's a journal, where I can be free to ramble on about everything and nothing all at once, and perhaps sence can come of it. Although I have tried before, and although incessant rambling often seems to be going places at the time, it is often disjointed and fragmented when you go back to see it. But, as my english prof said, some of the best writing that is done is done when your not thinking, and rambling without ever stopping writing, so maybe I'll try that for a while, Although, with typing I end up pausing anyways, simply because I sometines have to search for the correct keys; although, as I'm typing right now, I'm surprized at how many letters and words I can find quickly. But, it must be kept in mind that I stare at tyhe keyboard as I type, so most of the correct keys are hit, which results in many spelling errors normally corrected by spell check, and as I don't have a clue where it is on here, or even if it is, my writings will almost definately be filled with all kinds of mistakes, which is often a statement in itself. Alright, so I guess that's enough of that topic. I had my first exotic adventure a few weeks ago. Going to Mexico was definately an experience. It was my first time on a plane, my first taste of the ocean, my first independence away from the security I've lived with and loved. Not that it was that much of a stretch, but it definately was adventure-esque. I don't think that's a word... no worries though. It really was awesome though. There was a jeep safari one day, and an ocean cruise another... not to mention the hours on the beach, and the authentic restaurants, and the not so authentic McDonalds... we only went twice though! But I was pretty ready to come home when the week was up. And having a clean room with flowers and a teddy bear waiting for me when I got home was definately a bonus. I had a few minutes alone to savour the feel of home before everyone got home and hugs and times and storied were shared. I've been talking time lately for stuff like that... for hugs and thank yous and laughs. Even things like waking up and taking time to revel in the feel of a warm bed, to breathe deeply in the cold air, and feel snowflakes dance gently on my cheeks. To take time to give thanks to God for the many blessings that He's given to me, and to ask for His continued grace on everyone. I think that's made things a bit better. Although there's still lots to work on.. but there's always lots to work on. Like chemistry. I failed my first exam ever last week. It was totally my own fault. I went in having crammed for a few hours before the exam. I've never gone completely blank like that in my life. But, I suppose that it's motivation to open that huge Organic Chemistry book and get some reading done. Anyways, gotta run! Ciao for now!.. I don't think I've ever said that before. Go figure ;) | | Sunday, October 13th, 2002 | | 1:37 pm |
Alright... I suppose it's about time I wrote SOMETHING... even if it's not too exciting ;). Lst night I went to bed... how's THAT for exciting ;)?1?! No, actually I watched a movie with my mom. Well, half a movie, anyways. Then we went to bed. It was really good. I miss spending time with them. I always seem to be everywhere and nowhere, and it's kind of silly. Yesterday my sister decided that she was going to paint her walls. So we took all of her picture and chocolate bar wrappers and everything off of her wall, and collected a huge ball of that sticky stuff that holds stuff on the walls without wrecking them. Then I decided that I should paint my room too... but there wasn't too much to take off of my walls. I don't think this will actually get done for a couple of weeks. But when it does.... it'll be good. It's her birthday this week. I won 't get to hang out with her, 'cause I get home at 4 from school and work for 4:15 to 11:15. But she'll spend time with her friends, so she'll still have fun. I actually don't work Saturday (for once ;)), so maybe we can do someting at some point in the day. I got an email from the psych department telling me I could sign up for extra credit, which scared me because I hadn't even signed up for regular credit yet. So I signed up for a couple, and I'll do a fw more once more are listed. Hahaha. This IS really exciting ;). Maybe I'll have something more substantial to say later.;) | | Thursday, September 5th, 2002 | | 10:30 pm |
