oh my god, where is my calculator!!????

hahahaa!! im sure many of us have done this before. you are more than 100% sure that you have everything you need before you embark on some task or go on a trip. then, of course, just when you get started on this task, you realized, DOH! WHERE THE HELL IS (insert thing of need).

yes, this happened to me today (except maybe not as funny) just as i sat down and was about to start our 3-hr kinetics "quiz." we had just come back from lunch at sbarro. i took a seat and continued dreading about having to take this quiz. i reached into my bag, took out pencils. i reached in some more, searched even more. HOLY SHIT, WHERE IS MY CALCULATOR!??? i tried my inner pocket, NO! i was dumbfounded, as this took me completely by surprise. i was still studying, doing problems this morning at home. in btwn all the stacks of papers and my bed sheets, i must have forgotten to stuff my calculator in my bag!!!

you would say, whatever, why dont you just calc everything by hand or on paper? well, i would, except our kinetics quizzes are nothing but tons of problems and calculations of logs and funs. constant who? area under where? hmmm, yes, so i ran out of the room to the office of student affairs (as we were told once upon a time in the beginning of time that if we forget our calculators for exams OSA can lend them to us; besides, i borrowed a ruler from them before). i ran in, i was like, do you guys have a calculator i could borrow? the lady was like, sure dont! i freaked out, then i was like, what? really? are you serious? panicking, i ran down stairs to our locker room, hoping to run into people with spare calcs. nope! then i ran back up stairs towards the computer lab, hoping to run into more people i know! low and behold, i saw sam!!! i was like, SAM, DO YOU HAVE A CALCULATOR I COULD BORROW??

whew! he saved my life! kappa psi brothers! i ran back to the testing room, only have calammy secretly giggling uncontrollably at my air-headedness. but man, i felt like such a dumbass. what if the TAs were secretly discussing my stupidity in my absence? what if hot chris found out that i were so silly? hahahahahaahha. i really lucked out though, i think. i cant even imagine how i would begin to take my quiz if i didnt find a calculator!!!! :)

*****************

boo! this week had been super busy and weird. for some odd reason or another, i just have not been sleeping!! ahhhh!!!

yesterday afternoon was my first experiential training at walgreens, your friendly neighborhood pharmacy. i think i lucked out again: the place i got assigned to is very close to my apt and my preceptor is SOOOOOO nice! she explained everything very well and was very laid back and friendly. she said that she graduated from midwestern in 97 (or 98?), so that means she has to be *at least* 30! she does not look 30 though! oh, and her ring is *GIGANTIQUE*!!!! the pharmacy was not that busy, so i got to enter in some patient info fore precriptions and refills, filled some prescriptions, and stocked the new shipment. it was fun; i enjoyed shadowing her, especially after hearing about some other horror, pharmaceutical-care lacking stories from others!! waaahh!

another drinking holiday to come this weekend. definitely a drinking holiday regardless of status. hate it. alas, more importantly, HAPPY FRIDAY the 13th!!!
