10...9...8...

One and a half weeks left.

This break seemed so short, yet I think I'm ready to head back. Ready to hit the organic chemistry books, and ace my summer school course. The time spent at home was very restful, and I enjoyed going to the beach 2-3 times a week and getting plenty of the Hawaiian sun that I missed out on. I even learned to body board this summer. :) that was definitely an experience that I would never replace. In fact, I think I'm going to head out to catch some waves a couple more times before i leave.

But Nebraska misses me too, along with the people there. And oddly enough...I miss Nebraska. The roads and people have become so familiar to me now; my second family away from home. My friends are definitely different, but they are sorely missed while I'm here. Strangely, I can't wait to go back. And that's a good feeling.

One and a half more weeks.
Let the countdown begin.

"Why do you want to be a pharmacist?"

Yesterday was the day! The day of my pharmacy interview that is. I got an email from the School of Pharmacy and Health Professions on Wednesday, offering me an invitation for an interview...on Friday!!! I was so ecstatic, yet PANICKING to no end. Only a little less than 3 days to prepare?! Blasphemy! Hahaha...but let me tell you how it went...

So I got to my interview, suit and all, and sat down in front of the room. My interviewers were two associate professors here at Creighton. They were both very nice, and very friendly, so my nervousness quickly subsided. The first question they asked me was, "Why do you want to be a pharmacist?" That I answered without a problem. Next was, "Where do you see yourself in 10 years?" That wasn't a problem either. "What pharmacy experience have you had?" Answered without a doubt. "What do you like to do for fun." Arrange music, and play the oboe of course. I thought at this point everything was going pretty smoothly...then the big guns started shooting.

"If your boss asked you to complete a task ASAP, and you didn't know how to do it, what would you do?"
I would ask him if he had time to teach me, or if any other staff member could teach me, and I would learn quickly.
"There are no staff members available to teach you."
I would ask my supervisor if he could teach me. I wouldn't want to make a mistake in this type of situation as it could be detrimental to a patient.
"That's the thing...your supervisor doesn't know how to do it either."
(Thinking to myself...WOW...what kind of twist is this?!) I would probably look it up, and learn how to do this.

Haha...Quite a twist...But I think I did alright. A couple of the last questions were, "Are familiar with the honor code?" Yes, I don't think cheating should be tolerated. "Since you said your integrity was very important to you, say you caught one of your good friends cheating, what would you do?" This question...I might have answered a little bit too strongly. >.< Hopefully I didn't give off too harsh of an impression.

But that was my interview! Hopefully they'll get back to me soon, I really do hate waiting for these types of things. Wish me luck!!!

A Night on the Town

I finally made my way to Gorat's Steakhouse last night! I had the choice sirloin cut, with spaghetti, french fries, and a salad. Oh so good! After that, I went to this pedestrian bridge in Iowa, crossing the Missouri river, and the view was so nice. Not to mention the fireworks show to top it off :)

Henry Doorly, you rock my socks

Pictures: Kelsey and Throck the rock, Me and a rhino :P, gorilla man chillin, and BORIS the fat meerkat! :D







And so Easter Break came and went in a blink of an eye...

I had a good break though :). Did lots of things, went to Hiro's Sushi twice, ate dim sum with the friends, bought PLANET EARTH (!!!!), ate costco hot dogs :D, and I went to the zoo for the first time! :) Oh my goodness...Henry Doorly Zoo is AMAZING! If you ever have the chance to spend an entire day at the Omaha Zoo, it is completely worth it. It is the second or third largest zoo in the country I think...(don't quote me on that though). This break was very much needed after getting sick last week :(. But I'm recovering quickly, so don't any of you fret!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY! :D!!!

April Fool!

It's finally April. That means...summer is so much closer! I absolutely can't wait until I come home. I am counting down the days, counting moons, counting suns, or I don't know what else you would do...but I'm doing anything to pass the time.
