Winter Break

I haven't done a whole lot this break.

I worked a lot at CVS, making 1k. So potentially I could have made 2k this break, that would have been sweeet. Well okay I have some experiences at my retail community pharmacy settings, that is good. I made a bunch of moneies, but I basically spent it all, too. I bought make-up at Sephora and CVS, stuff at CVS, glow-sticks at Wal-mart, a necklace and earring set at Wal-mart (for 1.25... which my sister actually paid for), earrings at Claire's, make-up at Sephora.com (for Jia Li and my sister Julie's birthday presents), I did more online shopping at Wet Seal for a pair of leg warmers and a dress, I finally got a laptop HP! ($900!), I bought two books that aren't necesary for school but rather are for myself they something like Technician something and its workbook, and then I bought two of my textbooks. Peter bought two of my other textbooks, but one of them never came =(((( I still have to buy a lab manual when I get up to school.

Geez, so it looks like I'm going to have to take out some money out of my savings to pay for everything. Now, what I have to look forward to:

I won't have to be doing my community hours (they are done!)
making 900 dollars over the semester with my work study
making about 40 dollars a month at CVS and over Spring Break
I plan to take a trip out to California in either May or August. I want to go with a friend or two and also meet up with my Singaporean friend. She hopes to get out to LA this August. It'd be soooo cool if we could meet up!!
Learn more in Pharmacy School.
Learning Spanish related to health care.
blogging more now that I will have a laptop
more expensives for laptop case, wireless mouse?, more books
apply to internships??
classes to become an EMT?

Campus Involvement:
LatinFest 2009 / BAILE
MASC Club
Collegiate Health Corps
Pharm Frat?

watch the match of GSP v BJ Penn!! 1/31

Lunar Fest to celebrate the Year of the Ox? $20

I will have tons of points - must use them! on NutriGrain bars for breakfast - they are pretty good when you are hungry!!

I planned to do a lot of learning over break, but it hasn't happened and I have one day before I learn. I will try to review my Nervous System. This upcoming semester will be a lot of work. I will have to stay on top of things.

Another thing I need to buy: digital voice recorder. I think I will go back to Circuit City and buy one. 30 dollars is a good deal, I think. I will have to go back tomorrow, or if I go out to the mall tonight, I will go. Michelle said she'd text if they have the fur lined hoodies I want. I was thinking I should get one of those language calendars from Borders. They ought to be on sale!

I gotta stop this spending spree!

Next semester I gotta hit the gym, study like no tomorrow, party hard when I get a chance, meet people, try new things, learn new things, keep life exciting! and write about how I feel and what's going on (briefly/detailed).

Oh yea, and my 21st birthday is coming UP! February 8th! It'd be cool to go to a party that weekend. And, have like one drink.

Ohhh, gotta live it up. Gotta gotta, live my life, gotta, make my own life. Next up, gotta save for a car. Hope to save 500 from work study this semester.

Oh and to stay at CVS? I think I will.

Goals at CVS:
proficiency in processing prescriptions
complete the stuff I need to complete in CVS's curriculum
work at other CVS pharmacies (White St., South St.)

Other opportunities: Pfzier, Covidien, BIPI, learn to be an EMS?

stuff to look into: MPH

Covidien would be a great opportunity. They give you I think 3k or something in the thousands for housing. Thus, I would be living in New Haven/Milford, how cool!! Oh haha, if Jacki ends up in New Haven, maybe we could live together again ! ahha It seems like Covidien involves compounding and basically next semester, that is what I think I'll be doing.

Oh well I didn't get to hang out with You Gao. I didn't hang out with anyone really. Couldn't go up to Boston to hang with CathyGRegMonica. I had Walgreens at 9am the next day, on New Year's Day. I hung out with Guang at Tuxedo Junction. I saw Michelle to give her her XMAS present. Gotta think of something next for her Bday!

Hmmm I think for CVS I will go back in two weeks, but then no go home all of February, but then I will need to just tell CVS to pay me for 4 hours and just come back for Spring Break. I will have to text Diane about this. That would work out to going home a total of 3 times. I feel like I went home a lot more last semester, I think I did. I love this putting me on for 4 hours so I don't get kicked out of the system and then just will owe working 4 hours sometime. It works out for my convenience.

Saying I stay at CVS, which the chances are likely I think, to get another job on the side, ya think? Though, I think I'll be able to get 40 hours a week this time around. I wonder who will stay at CVS. Rosetta was talking about going to Wal-mart. If so, perhaps I can go over to South St. sometimes! woo!~ Well either way that is my plan: to work at some other CVSs, that way I get experience with different populations and different medications and it will keep my on my feet. I also heard that as an intern I can have the opportunity to hang out with the Pharmacy supervisor - get to see what they do!

So staying at CVS would pull in prospective ~6k. That will be a nice lot of money. If I go somewhere else, maybe 1k more! We will see what the future holds for SPC, and what SPC has for the future.

Oh also I was thinking of going to Sin City, Waterbury 'cause Tila Tequila will be there - not that I'm a fan, but it would attract a lot of people to go! I asked Michelley, but she has to work til close, then I bet she'd be tired. I was thinking of asking people at work to go, but didn't get the chance, I was busaaay sortin' drugs like no tomorrow! and stuff. It cold out anyway. Anyhow instead I watched two movies: A Cinderella Story (with Chad Michael Murray and Hillary Duff) and The Notebook. I always thought The Notebook was that movie about the leukemia girl. Oh well. The Notebook was such a good movie! Initially I thought it was just some old movie 'cause old people were the first thing I saw and then some older generation stuff. IT WAS SO GOOD! I had missed some parts so I looked them up on Youtube.com.
