Graduation, here I come!

That's right, ladies and gentlemen. Remediation is done. I've passed and now it's on to capstone and the graduation ceremony. I do have two more rotations to do this summer, but to know that the end is now so close is a great feeling.

June 6th is the walk while September 25th will be the last day of rotations and the day I technically will be Robert Morris, PharmD.

Remediation update #2

Remediation update

As some of you may know, I'm off rotations and having to go back to class to remediate a test I didn't do too well on last year. I took the first part of the test yesterday and missed 4 questions after factoring in team points. The test was about treating HIV, heptatitis, opportunistic infections and fungal infections. This was the best I've done on this section. I am going back on Monday, though, to see if I can't improve upon it. The other part of the test, which deals with facets of women's health, will take place next month. Wish me luck, because I need to pass this test in order to graduate.

So far, I'm doing ok.

Catch up on everything going on.

Well, I find myself up at 3 AM this morning. I went to bed super early last night after an extremely physical day of a good workout and then helping to paint Erin's new condo. I figured it might be a good time to catch everybody up on what's been going on, seeing I went a good month without saying much.

I just finished my infectious disease rotation a couple weeks ago. I've had the last couple weeks off to start getting ready for a test I have to retake next week on HIV. It's been nice to have the time off, but I really wish I was on rotation so I can be done with pharmacy school. During the time off, I have had some fun, too. I went with Amber to Bear Lake one weekend for her YSA branch getaway.

Also during the time off, I helped with UPhA's first legislative day, where we went and did health screenings up at the Utah State Capitol. UPhA recruited both USN and U of U to help out with the event. Both schools had been looking at working together on a project, and it was a success. I'm hoping to be able to find the time to help out next year when I'm a full-blown pharmacist.

I've done it!

Today while using Wii Fit, I found out that I met my goal of losing 10 lbs. I'm looking forward to keep it up and lose some more weight. I'm keeping to the same goal - 10 lbs in 3 months.

Moving troubles

As some of you may know, my sister and I are in the process of moving. We just found out today that the bank that Erin is buying the condo from is in the process of a merger now, and because of that, the closing on the condo has been delayed just a bit on the seller's side. By the look of things, we won't be moving this weekend. We'll keep everyone posted on the status of the move and when exactly Erin will have the keys to her brand new condo.

Goal update

Seeing we're almost done with the first month of 2009, I thought I would write about how I'm doing on some of the goals I set for myself. First, I've already lost 8 lbs. I have a goal to be down 10 lbs by the end of March. I should be able to hopefully pass that. Sorry, I have no miracle diet for everyone. I've just been getting off my lazy butt and exercising.

The Book of Mormon reading and Institute attendance have been good as well. I've been working with Amber on the reading with a reading program she's doing with her job. I'll be past pg. 45, which is the point we have to be on tomorrow. And I've been to Institute once a week since the beginning of the semester (twice in Lehi and once in Syracuse).

Things are really going well. I'm excited to keep up the good work.
