so right now, i'm in bed, in the dark. monica can't sleep as well without me. it makes me feel good to know she cares for me so much that when i get home, no matter how sleepy she is, she will wake up and spend time with me, or sleep next to me while i watch tv, just cause she wants to be close to me. i like that she makes me feel needed and loved. i let her wear my ring. its a friendship ring i have with delia and i rarely take it off. i wanted her to just wear that ring though. anyhow, i figured since i'm here and still wide awake, i might as well update my journal a bit.
i got my nose pierced saturday. it looks really cute and i'm glad i let carrie and monica talk me into it. :)
i got a raise at work for getting my crcst certification. now i'm onto the chl. i'm gonna be the most certified person ever. best part is, monica teaches the classes for the certification. so its like bonus fun for me.
instead of literature or international studies, i have decided to take an alternative route in life. i want to be a pharmacist. after all of my mom's convincing and whatnot, i think its something i would seriously enjoy and be good at, and make good money at. i'm a really smart girl, and i can't seem to find any type of career that i like enough to want for, like, forever. that's a long ass time. and these days, finding a job that pays well is so difficult. especially when it comes to a reliable job. truth of the matter is, pharmacists are always going to be in demand. baby boomers are getting older, medicine is getting better, pharmacists are becoming more in demand. as it is, we're short on pharmacists. there were some statistics i read about being short for pharmacists. they get paid sooooo well. like, 100,000 a year or more. schooling won't be too bad. a lot of chemistry and biology is involved and that's about it. i'm in the pre pharmacy club at usf, so i get all their little updates. usf is starting a pharmacy program in a couple years. after working at st.joseph's, i realized that i enjoy the healthcare environment. in the past i always wanted to help people, do things for other people, volunteer, and being a pharmacist, i can be a part of peoples' recovery from surgery or a sickness. i'm gonna make people better, happier, live longer, live better. its going to be a rewarding future, if i do indeed make it there. i have a lot of classes to take, but i'm prepared for it. i want it. i have beeen thinking of which schools i could go to. it all depends on where i decide to live at.
my options are....
-usf program
-uf
-boston
-worchester
-famu
thats just ones from florida and massachusetts. i really hope i can figure this out. monica is going to medical school as well, so when it comes down to it, she and i will have to figure it all out together. i'm really excited. i feel like finally things in my life are beginning to work the way i want them to.
