I haven't posted in a while... well, I've been a busy little beaver, running to DC, and to Boston, and now finally back in Jersey. I must admit I really like Boston, and I think it is a lucky city for me... I met several really neat people out there (and competitive intelligence professionals are a lot of fun, I am looking forward to next year's ( Read more... )

Damn journal ate my long post. I am still alive, I just did not have Internet in Nijmegen or Hamburg. I am now in Denmark though I had a full day of mandatory once-per-trip adventure. Between trains leaving with my luggage and tickets (but not me) and trains breaking, it took me full day to get here.

The Hour X is near. Shall I perish in the unequal fight with the 4 years worth of intensive learning during a 5-hour-long exam, remember me well. The predicted score based on a pre-test should be in the 105-130 range (passing is 75) but I am still worried. There are so many things I DO NOT know... and I made so many idiotic mistakes during ( Read more... )

Georgia Aquarium: WAY COOL. I got to pet a stingray and a hammerhead! And the "look at" part was pretty cool too ( Read more... )

OK, I am safe and sound back home. Yesterday, when I was packing and thinking how much I would have to deal with when I got home, I wanted to stay for a while longer. I am weird that way - even if a place is not up to my requirements, I find it hard to leave it - I get attached to places very fast. My mom is the same way. The people out there ( Read more... )

My half-dead body has returned home. Having a cold sucks. Having a cold and flying sucks doubly. My ears feel plugged (though my hearing is fine) and my nose is running like crazy, and my throat hurts, and I sound like an old crow ( Read more... )

After talking to some of my professors I have realized just exactly how young and inexperienced and puppy-like I am. Regardless of what I like to think, I do not yet have a grasp on reading between the lines in the corporate world, and approach problems and assignments like a student - meaning, from there to here, just following the assignment ( Read more... )

I feel very embarassed. I fell asleep at a meeting yesterday, and I fell asleep in a meeting today. Why the heck did they need to schedule important meetings in the first days of my rotation, when I am still mostly on Arizona time, I haven't slept properly in days, and can't keep awake to save my life? Not only it was pretty bad for myself (I ( Read more... )

Yesterday I managed to almost kill myself. As a pharmacist, I should know better than to take expired medicine or mix two medications that shouldn't be mixed, but I was feeling so miserable I was hoping taking two different antihistamines would help. Instead, I spent most of the day dizzy, with 103 (39 celsius) fever that wouldn't go down inspite ( Read more... )
