Pharmacy Madness

I have 5 exams next week and I have JUST started studying for them. I'm going to the Temple with my mom tomorrow to pray for myself. DEAR GOD, PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!


Interesting stuff from the week:

1. During lab I had to print out my prescription labels 6 times because I accidentally wrote the wrong thing. It was so embarrassing. I ended up stuffing the wrong labels in my backpack, away from prying judging eyes.

2.  Yesterday, I was freaking out and I looked up from my desk and the first thing I saw was the "Keep Calm and Stay Calm" section of the huge poster that Quynh gave me. Loves it. I took it as a sign from God.

3. Tahiti cookies from Pepperidge Farm are really good. Yum. So is L&L. Double yum.

4. Dear October, I'm glad you could finally join us.

5. Dear ThinkPad, stop being a spoiled brat. Next time you start acting up I'm going to leave you at OIT. Do you want that? Next time you act up, think about all those poor abandoned computers... then you'll realize how well off you are.

6. I want to go to Colbert and Stewart's rallies. It would make my life.

7. Dear Tub Drain, I do not like to stand in my own filth when I shower. Do I need to say more?

8. Dear Preet, You're awesome. Love, Preet

9. I had a strange dream today. I was running and I wanted to keep running forever and ever because I was running so fast. (I think it was some kind of magical power) Anyways, I woke up and I wanted to go running. Then I realized how absurd that sounds considering my exercising record. But a part of me still wants to run to see if I really do have this cool new superpower. (It's like when you have a horrible nightmare about losing all your teeth and you have to check to make sure your teeth are still there when you wake up. Only this wasn't really a nightmare. No wait, it changed into a nightmare after because this ghost like person wanted to kill me. Great.)

10. We learned how to counsel people on smoking cessation so we could be certified as a trained professional. My idea of smoking cessation: "Stop smoking or you'll die and even God won't like you because you'll smell like cigarettes" I'm just kidding. I actually learned a lot about how to help people. I did not know there were so many options. Interesting note: One of the drugs that helps people quit smoking is contraindicated in people who have psychotic problems. I don't know about you, but if a psychotic person wanted to smoke, I would totally let them. I'm just saying... NORMAL people go a little crazy trying to quit smoking, so what would happen to people who already have mental problems? Oh, yes, that's right, they would go even more crazy.

*Note: I shall add some wonderful pictures to these comments ASAP, probably after my midterms. Actually, it might be during my midterms depending on how stressed out I am.*

  1. Awww. Thanks Antoinette. I kind of just threw that one in there because I wanted to have a list of 10. It's a nice round number. lol

  2. I like #2.

    FYI, you'd make an inspiring psychiatrist. "I mean, they're already mentally incapable to make sound judgments, why not let them continue this school of thought and throw in a pair of diseased lungs?"

  3. That's the idea Quynh. I'm glad you approve. lol. But seriously, if a patient is really really dependent on smoking and they're like in a mental ward or something, can you imagine how hard it would be to try to get them to quit?
