P3 Year Begins

Is it finally my last year of classes? I guess it feels more like, is it ALREADY my last year of classes? These last two years at pharmacy school have been a blur! I can't believe it has gone by so fast. But for this P3 year, it is just beginning. I am a little bit scared of my ICARE classes this year...I have head that Infectious Disease is the toughest class yet. It may be my last year, but also my hardest!

Even though the classes may be more difficult, I also feel more comfortable in the school than ever. I am super excited for all upcoming events for the organizations that I am a part of. It seems like there is at least one event every week that I have to look forward to. I know that with all the business going on, it will make this year FLY by. (I'm hoping!)

The first week of class has been a good one as far as school goes. It was great to see friends again that I lost touch with over the summer. It's also nice to work less! Not sure about that working world yet - I am glad to return to school! I have all of the normal P3 classes in addition to two electives. For my electives I am taking Intro to Mental Health and Spanish for Pharmacists - both of which seem very interesting and like they will be a fun learning experience (Si! Muy bien!). In terms of how the first week was outside of school...it has been a bit hectic. My pup, Lily, got spayed on Thursday and it has been a challenge keeping my hyper dog calm. She has also started exhibiting some weird phantom pregnancy symptoms that we hoped would go away - like nesting and hoarding her stuffed toys like they are her puppies. Yeah - needless to say it has been interesting. We hope she heals quickly and this passes fast because it has been taking a toll on my sleeping schedule!

Well, guess it's time to start studying...
