The Great Mystery

I think nothing is scarier that what lies ahead. For awhile I've tried to avoid thinking of the future and what I need to prepare to do in order to put myself in the best situation to succeed. Sometimes I think that's my biggest flaw. I try to look the other way instead of look ahead. The idea of being on my own is daunting. Not in the sense of supporting myself but the importance of each of my decisions. I find myself thinking that maybe if I don't think about it, the time won't come but it is. I finally gathered up the courage to begin planning what I need to accomplish because that time is fast approaching. In two weeks I graduate college, something that seemed like light years so long ago. This summer will probably be one of the most busiest summers I'll have. I plan on taking 4 summer classes with 2 in the first half of the summer and the other 2 in the second half. While I graduate soon, since I didn't make up my mind to do pharmacy til junior year, I have to take some pre-rec classes for other colleges. The planned classes are math stats, physiology, public speaking, and physics. Also planned during the summer is some volunteer work at UMC thanks to my friend Ryan. I'm also trying to get a pharm tech job this summer hopefully. The problem with that is I think it's kind of hard to do without a pharmacy technician certification. I missed the deadline to take the test (although I looked at the practice test and realized if I just took it w/o studying I would prolly fail). I also looked up PCAT test dates and will be taking it on June 30th. I did decent the first time with a 90% on chemistry but I didn't do some hot on some of the other sections. Finally I started looking up places to live for next semester. It's crazy since Bottcher finally gave me indication to look for other roommates or somewhere else to live. Bottcher was a good roommate but I am looking forward to possibly living by myself. I looked at apartments today and there were a few prospects but it seems as if they all got horrible reviews online. So I'm at a bit of a dilemma in terms that I could live with myself in a 1 bedroom apartment but I would be paying more than 500 a month, with less privacy due to neighbors, paper thin walls which will make using my surround system difficult, not to mention general apt living isn't something I'm fond of, and most importantly tonka will have to go to my parents. I could also possibly stay at the house and get two new roommates. The problem with that is I've learned I want to live with people I know I can live with and that isn't easy. The plus to it though is cheaper rent, a nicer place, and I'm already moved in.


 

Anywho I'm getting tired so I'm gonna try to wrap up pretty clearly…


 

I went to Disneyland a couple weeks ago with Michelle, Kristen, Jason Bot, Liana, and Galen….it was a really fun trip and I wish I would have kept a better update on all of it. Maybe I'll try to write about it tomorrow just so that I can look back and remember the trip more haha.

I think I realized something last week when I was talking to someone on the phone and she told me something that left me a bit speechless. Needless to say, I don't know how big a shocker it is but whatever…
