Wal 1st Day

so my first day at walgreens today 930 to 6.

i did lots of observing. i need some getting used to their system. it is a much different system. it is efficient - paper saving. and i was surprised that they were out of something at cvs we have as a fast mover: fluticasone nasal spray (generic flonase).

there was the pharmacist - who is like the lead pharmacy technician and pharmacist in one. then there were the pharmacy interns i was working with. I am a pharmacy intern as well. i'm unsure of the depth of their knowledge - they seem to stick to much of the technical aspects.

they seem to stick it to the hipaa stuff with who picking up and what not. i have some gettting used to the system. hopefully by tomorrow i'll be acclimated.

also i must start on my 3 projects.

Best Time Buy Plane Tickets

What's the absolute best time to purchase a ticket directly from the airlines? Turns out it's Wednesday from midnight to 1a.m. in the time zone of the airline's "home base." (For instance, Delta is headquartered in Utah and United currently calls Chicago home.)

Se fue

Nevaba el lunes del fin de semana de los presidentes en 2005. Mi padre se levantó y estaba moviendo con pala la nieve mientras me quedaba en la cama esa mañana. No hasta las diez dejó para trabajo y mi mamá ya se habia ido mucho más temprano a las seis. Todo el día pasé el tiempo enfrente la computadora para hacer tarea para colegio. Era mi tercer año y también era un año muy importante para tener éxito porque solicitaría por la universidad el siguiente semestre. Entonces, siempre yo me enfocaba en mis estudios.

Todavía estaba enfrente de la computadora cuando eran las cinco de la tarde y mi papá todavia no habia regresado. Una media hora luego, mi madre llegó y me preguntó dónde estaba mi papá. Suponía que él regresaria tarde porque salió tarde a las diez. Parecía tener razón y creía que lo era todo. Nosotros no pensábamos ni repensábamos en que tal vez hubiera otra más.

Esa noche, mi mamá tuvo una llamada del amigo de mi papá. Su amigo le dijo que mi papá salia para California para divertirse, pero luego cambió su coartada y dijo que él estaba volando a Camboya para casarse con una esposa. Entonces mi madre llamó a la policía para informar de persona perdida, pero no había sido aún veinticuatro horas. Todo el tiempo, yo escuché e hice mi tarea. Yo no podía ignorar ni escapar de eso como las luchas pasadas físicas. Nunca quería sentirme. Sólo quería hacer mi tarea – era necesario.

Mis padres eran personas diferentes. Mi padre se jugaba miles dólares en los partidos de fútbol americano y pasaba las noches gritando a la pantalla del televisor. Hay más, tomó mis joyas, joyas de su hijita, y les dio a sus amantes... y no le importa a él. Quería vivir la vida que lo que quisiera, es decir perseguir chicas jóvenes y calientes, no ser el padre de cuatro hijos. Aunque él entendía mientras mi madre no entendía que sus hijos necesitaban hacer amigos y divertirse, pero él estaba casi nunca. Era más peor que él desatender a los hijos que darlos esperanza y entonces no cumplir sus promesas u obligaciones. Cuando era nina en la escuela primaria, mi padre había planeado asistir el día de tomar un padre a la escuela. Él nunca vino ese día. En consecuencia, estaba triste y decepcionada. =( Mientras tanto, mi madre trataba ahorrar y controlar lo que pudiera.

En el fin supimos que la última coartada era verdadera. No lo vimos otra vez por seis meses hasta detallar el divorcio. Sus acciones fueron insoportables.

Spanish

I love Spanish.

I think what I really love is to hear myself read Spanish. It's cool!

But that can't be all. I must push myself to have more than that, to have more than basic understanding... shoot I don't even comprehend very well. My listening comprehension sucks. And I should read more, in general.

I was looking through some of my work from the Spanish Composition class I dropped. I understand a bit less now. I will post some of my work. One of them is very good, but very personal.

I NEED

i'm missing a lot. i need to grow. i need to grow. i need to learn. i need to do a lot of growing and learning. must more fast. i want to me miss independent. i need to be miss independent. i believe that a person, me, should be able to be okay by herself first, know herself - a bit to that accord.

i need to brush up on Spanish. can't let me gettin' rusty. i'm trying to not compare with this bit, but can't let peeps surpassin' me - select peeps.

also, i need to learn Chinese. Mandarin.

I love languages. I must show this. This can be a hobby.

Hobbies: Language (Spanish, soon to be more Chinese as well, hoping to learn more =D - Italian, Japanese, okay tal vez even portuguese and french who knows!), Latin dancing

I haven't done my origami hobby in a while.

I love playing DDR. I love to run and lift weights.
But I am not in any great shape.... soooo lazy!! @@

Aight, I'm gonna be good now. Well maybe not now now with the physical fitness, but I need to be good at least starting this Winter. I have to handle two jobs - CVS for money and Walgreens for free and be a super patient advocate learning and practing my trade of Pharmacy. I have to push myself to learn as much as possible. And additionally I NEED to get into shape by doing DDR, running perhaps if I can take some dance classes (Tango?? <-- that would be MAD COOL!). I also need to see people, friends - Michelley, and see off Cathy Yee with Jacki and whoevr else possible!
My mom aggravates me a lot. her nagging, nonunderstanding, nonapproval, stuff-hording, wearing little kids stuff, cheapness, loud screechy music.

Spam Blog

So I hate how I always start writing a sentence with "So," but...

So, I don't know why my blog is being marked as a Spam Blog, I guess it's 'cause I haven't started to write anything in here yet.
