well school is definitely back in full swing. I really thought that this semester was going to be a breeze, but its turned out to be just ridiculous.
between getting all the paperwork set for switching majors, looking for a part time job, figuring out my costa rica internship, looking for a co op job, grades in general, the eboard of the global medical relief program, boy issues, and finding an apartment- i am just always be pulled in 10 directions at once. Whoever said that pharmacy is the hardest major at Northeastern is dead wrong. Everything is handed to you on a plate: your schedule, your job, your salary, your future. Now on top of taking all the same science courses as a pharmacy major, i have to figure out how to structure my future. I know these are all things most of you have been dealing with since day one of college, but its all pretty new to me, with a lot of other stuff going on as well.
everthing is seeming to fall into place though. I am now an employee of Starbucks (again) haha. i need the money and i could use the coffee so hopefully this time around my barista career will be a little more successful (aka longer than 5 hours). We've been touring some awesome apartments, im getting back on top of things educationally, and the family is good
I'm starting to get over this whole boy thing too. even though it does still suck and i would be lying if i said i didnt think about it a lot. alright now that i've gotten started on the subject i'm just going to let it all out. the thing is that this guy was just really cool and we clicked. The fact that hes president of the northeastern republicans made the whole situation even more interesting for me. although we definitely didn't agree on a lot of issues, we had really good conversations without getting (very) angry (even though he didn't take my voting for hillary very well haha). It also made it that much more attractive when I found out things about him that broke him from the conservative pig stereotype that I thought he was before I got to know him. He reads interesting books, he likes musicals (he likes rent??!?!), he likes to travel, he LOVES his golden retriever, hes sarcastic, he knows a lot about current events, and he was just a gentleman (walking me home when he lives a mile away, watching out for me at parties, etc). anyways, things with us were going really well. we went on a few dates, hung out, he came up to merrimack over break, and he told one of his friends that i was his girlfriend (without letting me know that i was haha). anyways, wanting to make sure that i was clear with our status, i innocently asked him when we got back if i could tell people we were officially together if they asked. He said ya and seemed excited at the time. a few days later, it all changed. he got distant and freaked out about the whole thing. he didnt know how to act in a relationship and instead of just chilling out and trying, he pretty much quit. anyways, he told me he still wanted to be together, but since that conversation we haven't seen each other or spoken. That was 3 weeks ago tomorrow and im done with trying to make it work on my end. anyways yeah, it sucks. if he was an ass from the beginning and i just didnt see it, then this would be ok, but he seemed like a really nice guy and then all of a sudden everything just changed. but like i said, i am starting to just get over it and look into other things. im not waiting for him to come around anymore.
enough boy talk. IM GOING TO COSTA RICA FOR 5 WEEKS! YAYYY. ya its not as long as studying abroad but I had to do what I could with the time that I had off between classes ending in late April and Co op starting in Early July. I'm going to be doing a sea turtle conservation project on the Caribbean coast. it should be amazing.
thats the gist of whats going on in my life. the past few weeks have sucked, but its all working out, as it always does.
alright peace out
