My day off

My preceptors had a meeting out of town so I had the day off. Here's what I did:
1. Woke up at 730am. Granted, this isn't really sleeping in but at least I woke up on my own, not because of an alarm. I took ollie outside and fed him then crawled back in bed.
2. Read People of the Book- it's about a book conservator (not quite sure if that's a real word) that is working on an old jewish text. While she's working on the book, she finds several things (butterfly wing, salt, blood stain) then it goes back in time and tells how said things get in the book. I like it.
3. Cleaned my room/ bathroom and vacuumed the house. I'm living with a guy from school right now and since I'm leaving tomorrow, I figured I should clean up the 5 weeks worth of ollie fur that has infiltrated his house.
4. Went downtown. My mom wanted a candle from a store here so I went to buy one for her (it's called A Day at the Beach and it really, really smells just like a day at the beach...it's crazy). There's also this photographer that takes genius pictures so I figured I'd go by and see his gallery one last time. On my way, I stopped by a store that always has crazy cute clothes and sometimes they have good sales. I fell in love with 2 dresses; one on sale, one not. I tried them both on and they looked horrible. I bought a shirt for $28. I went to the gallery and there was this picture from wormsloe that was so captivating. It's from the drive down this mile and a half of oak trees near dusk and the fog is setting in. Haunting is the best word I can use to describe it.
5. Went to wormsloe. This is probably one of my favorite places in savannah to go. It's gorgeous for one and one of the quietest places I've ever been. It's an old plantation house so there's lots of history so I wanted to take lots of pictures before I left Savannah. The only problem is it's outside...with bugs...and snakes...I dont do bugs and snakes. I took the long trail back thinking it would be good for me to clear my head and think some things through but after I had been bitten by a few mosquitos I realized I should high tail it back to my car. At one point I even said "Dangit nature" after something had been flying around my ear.
6. Went to petsmart to get ollie's food
7. Got back to Glenn's took a nap, watched scrubs, went to sweet potatoes for dinner.

I had an awesome day.

OK so

OK, so after reading lots of other people's blogs I figured I should have one of my own...so here goes...
OK so there's a TON of stuff that's going on in my life
1. I'm currently on a rotation at a VA clinic. I hate it as it has made me a more negative person.
2. I'll be moving 8 hours away from my family in 2 months to start a PGY1 residency at Moses Cone in Greensboro, NC. This freaks me out.
3. I graduate from pharmacy school in approximately 58 days. My friends are getting jobs as pharmacist. This freaks me out.
4. I have to apply for and take the NAPLEX and MJPE. This freaks me out.

OK so, that's not a ton of stuff (just 4 things really), but it feels like a ton. It's nice to write it down, it makes me feel less overwhelmed.
I suppose I'm just realizing that I'm an adult and I'm going to have to make adult decisions. I know that my parents will always be there if I need something but I'd like to think at this point I can make it on my own. The truth is, I probably can't. This freaks me out.
OK so, now that I'm officially freaking out...onto things that make me happy
1. My dog: if you've known me for ANY length of time, you know I absolutely adore my dog. He's always happy to see me, he doesn't judge me (except sometimes when i make him wear sweaters)
2. Reading: I don't get to read as often as I'd like but I'm hoping to read a lot on my two week break
3. Only having one day left at the VA
4. Hearing my nephew, Caeden say lellow
5. Having a date on Sunday
6. Getting nice text messages
7. Watching max (my parent's lab) swim

American Idol is on...more later
