there's something rather perverse about being happy over having "only" 4 more finals to go. but after 3 written, 1 oral, and 2 standardized patient finals, i guess it's all about perspective. i'm slightly more than halfway done and only that much closer to "freedom".

on a side notes: i am officially in love with dave's DS lite. that's what i've been spending the past two days consumed with - exams be damned! :p actually, i was really good yesterday and resisted HUGE temptation, opting instead for the less fun, more productive pasttime of studying.

i <3 all things mario and all things nintendo!! (now someone buy me super paper mario please...)

[edit] for those who are wondering, no, there's nothing special or different going on with me personally. the reason why i'm so happy is b/c two of my close friends just got engaged last week. they're seriously the best couple ever and i predict many "happily ever afters" for the two of them. <3

right now i'm so giddy with joy that tears are starting to fill my eyes!!! congratulations!!! :D

[there's nothing like good news to take the sting away from studying.]

people have been noticing that it's been quite a while since i've last blogged, so i'm here to reassure my readership that i have indeed not fallen off the face of the earth.

what have i been doing in the meantime?

studying. counselling fake patients. stressing over upcoming exams.
and occasionally enjoying the perks of being a pharmacy student. what are these said perks, one might ask?

f.r.e.e. s.a.m.p.l.e.s.

drug fair haul

since our faculty is 90% asian, you can pretty much expect us all to be locusts when it comes to freebies. so what if we wouldn't usually recommend cough and cold remedies to patients -- free samples of robitussin? grab me a handful of those!

"what's in that box?" "i don't know, but it's free!" (it turned out to be one of those keychain holders with a built-in watch)

i'll be honest with you though, the haul you see here pales in comparison to some of my classmates'. whereas i might have a pitiful handful, they grabbed entire boxes. it appears that even *i* can be out-asian'ed. (forgive me, my ancestors.)

lest you think i'm a complete hog, let me just say for the record that i *did* give some of my samples away and they went to good use -- although brandon quickly learned that you can't let gelcaps sit in your mouth too long before swallowing or else the quick-dissolve gel casing WILL quick dissolve and expose you too the bitterness that is ibuprofen.
