1 Exam Per Week

As seen in the previous post - last week was the Kappa Epsilon breast cancer awareness survivor's dinner. It was put on by the current KE president-elect, as it is each year. It was very well done and the survivors really enjoyed themselves. There was a raffle with a lot of great prizes, and a buffet with great food. The flowers on each table were beautiful and it was just a very classy dinner! The speaker was a survivor and she came in to the theme of Rocky with pink boxing gloves, a pink robe, and pink streaks in her hair. It was a very good motivational speech and I had a great time - it was a nice break from school for sure.

From this point on, the P2's have 1 exam per week until Thanksgiving break. Then there's 1 week that is the calm before finals week. This past week, we had a nonprecription products quiz that is based on the first half of the material that will be on the next exam. This coming week, we have a pharmacokinetics recitation due on Tuesday (which is like a long homework assignment) and then a pharmacokinetics exam on Thursday. I have to work tonight at CVS from 3-10, so I will do the recitation and the bulk of my studying tomorrow and Monday after class. I think the following week we have our nonprescription products exam, and then the week after is pharmacology. Having 1 exam a week is definitely not as bad as midterm time when there are 3 per week, but it still forces you to always have something in the back of your mind.

Another class we have, Biostats, requires us to form a group of 5-6 people and write our own research study. My group decided to get a head start on this project and we have been working on it since last week. We hope to be the first group to present so we can get that huge project over-with and off of our plate before finals start coming around.

The main campus also offers IM sports which pharmacy students can participate in. Right now, IM soccer is going on and each class in our school has their own team. The P2 team, Rx Assassins, beat the P1 team last week in a very exciting game. I was on the soccer team last year as a P1 (they always need girls to play) but soccer isn't really my thing so I opted out this year. It is still fun to go and cheer though :)

Alright, time to get ready for work.
