last friday night...

Is it just me or is every single Katy Perry single friggin catchy?! Got that stupid T.G.I.F. song stuck in my head. Anywhos, I was about to update about what happened last weekend... hence, last Friday night is somewhat appropriate.

Last weekend I went down to San Diego for one of Tony's cousin's graduation party. Can I just say that these people know how to celebrate every friggin occasion?! It's just crazy how much money people spend on these things. They're almost like mini-weddings! If by now you have not sensed the jealousy in my tone then maybe it's time for me to make it explicit. When I graduated from high school, I didn't get any type of party because according to the parentals, this wasn't a big deal. We'll make a party when you graduate from college. Ok. So I graduate from college and I believe we celebrated afterwards by going to get dim sum. Not bad. I think maybe 3 family members excluding my parents came. For my graduation from grad school, we celebrated afterwards by going to eat pho. I think people are now celebrating their kid's graduations from like kindergarten and I'm like are you kidding me?! I think these kid's celebrations are wayyyy more extravagant than any celebration I've ever had. Anyway, enough with me ranting away. Here's some pictures!

Have a great weekend everyone!!

finally time to blog!

Howdies ya'lls!

I'm finally back!! I'm so happy to be done with studying at least for now. I took NAPLEX on July 22nd and then CPJE on July 29th. After getting home on the 29th and washing my car and packing all my stuff to go down to San Diego, I got my NAPLEX results and I passed! It was seriously the best surprise because I had been so worried since taking that exam that I failed. Every day after taking NAPLEX I would be studying for CPJE and I would look over material that was on the exam and then realize I made a horrible mistake on the exam. But fortunately, I didn't do as horribly as I thought.

As my graduation present, Tony bought me the little penguin pendant I had posted on Facebook and he said that he'd take me on a cruise since I was always talking about how great they are. So we're leaving this Sunday for a 7 night cruise to Cabo San Lucas & Puerto Vallarta! I'm so excited to just go on vacay. Everyone and their mom's have been going on vacations since pharmacy school is over and I really didn't have the money or the time to go so I figure I better go now while I can still work anytime I want. So this last weekend I went crazy shopping all over San Diego. I also brought out some of my older summery items that I'll be taking on the cruise so I'll be posting those on here as well.

Anywhos, I'll hopefully be able to update before I go. I've been working full-time lately and my goodness it's tiring on my old ragged body lol.

Hope everyone is having an awesome hump day!!

so egg-cited!

So it seems like I've been studying for FOREVER! This Friday will be the end of all the studying... at least for 3 months (until I can take the boards again... if I f-a-i-l.... which I'm hoping and praying every night that I didn't :/).

Anywhos, I can't wait for August! As soon as this Friday comes, I will be going SHOPPING! lol. Me and Tony are going on a cruise in a couple of weeks and I definitely need to update this "study" wardrobe I've been wearing everyday. I've been bookmarking a lot of things I want. I also need to purchase some stuff for the cruise as well. I'll be updating with some planned outfits and hopefully ya'lls can tell me whatcha think!

Miss ya'lls since I've been in hibernation mode (sorta haha).

Hang out with ya'lls soon!

randomness while studying

So during one of my rotations, one of my preceptors asked me to find some palindrome drugs and since I was studying one of them today, I thought I'd list them here in case anyone ever wants to know!

Palindrome Drugs:

• Merrem
• Ketek
• Xanax
• Lozol

These won't really help you on the boards, unfortunately but nice to know :)

g'luck studying ya'lls!

wedges... like!

What isn't there to like about wedges?! They give every short girl the height they need and they aren't a complete pain in the arse to walk in! Every morning before I roll out (like an autobot) of bed, I open up my email and go through the bajillion emails from Gilt, Rue La La, Express, Ann Taylor, Off 5th... the list goes on and on. This wedge from Express definitely caught my eye. Why you ask? The heel is concealed! Does this mean its finally ok to wear heals in the pharmacy without looking like pretentious dozo?! (Dr. Deguire being the only exception to that rule since she can actually rock regular stilettos at work. That lady must have feet of steel!). I mean for $60 (plus express always has coupons), I'm pretty sure these are a steal! After I figure out how to budget these into my shopping fund, they will be mine *evil laugh* *thunder strikes* :) jay-kay.

**side note, if you haven't noticed, studying for the boards has pretty  much made me delirious and a shopping fiend. putting things in an online shopping cart is about all I can do to keep from going insane. Thanks for bearing with me!**

Love ya'lls! 9 more days!!!! AHHHH!!!

Ever since Kate Middleton's been in the news with the Royal Wedding and everything, my mom just goes on and on about how Diana was so much prettier and had better bone structure... yada yada yada... I think one thing is for sure though and that is... Kate Middleton has a great sense of style (I mean who wouldn't if they had a whole style crew waiting on them hand and foot... **side note: when I typed out hand and foot, all I could think of was hand-foot syndrome aka redness & soreness on your palms and soles of feet caused by methotrexate**). I especially like the business suit she wore in Canada. Classy as Nam would say (except not sarcastically lol).

Nice little study break from studying my life away... never thought I'd have to say FML again but seriously... the next 3 weeks will be filled with daily FMLs.

Hope everyone's studying is going well! And if you're done with boards (like someone!!! you lucky duck!) have fun relaxing wherever you may be :) lol.

loves

Reading my blogs this morning and Lauren Conrad's Summer Collection Lookbook was just posted on The Budget Babe. Loving all her new looks. Her looks are perfect for when I'm feeling extra girly. 

Life has just been filled with work in the last couple of weeks. I won't be working much for the next 2-3 weeks to spend time studying for the NAPLEX and CPJE. Apparently CPJE results have been coming out so good luck to all the pharmers who have already taken their tests! Such an exciting time! Will be in hibernation for awhile :(.

Happy Friday everyone!
