Making the most of a pretty-much-spent Saturday

So I mean to write a post on Thursday early early morning because I pulled an all-nighter Wednesday night studying for my Pharmacy Management exam...snore....

But I stalled and stalled and then it was 5 am and time to get ready. Still, I aced the exam so time well spent? Anyway, then I meant to write one on Friday because I skipped my morning class to stay home and STUDY. Again. But I didn't really do that much studying or much blog-post-writing. The thing is, I have to feel like I have something substantial enough to write about.

So today at 1:36 pm on a Saturday afternoon, after laying around on my bed all morning, I have decided is the right time. Mostly because I just wanted to say some things to this little corner of the internet stratosphere that I have now claimed as my space. So hello my Sher-bots! How ya'll doin? Fine? GOOD.

Here are a few things I've been craving recently:

H&M Faux Fur Jacket

ASOS New Look Chelsea Boot

ASOS – Oasis Hand Held Work Bag

Urban Decay Naked Smoky Palette

Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz Pencil

The Scribe by Matthew Guinn

Well, there you are! A few of the things I am trolling the internet lusting and craving after. Weird that I ended on a book which is so easy to purchase and not much of a guilty thing. You see, when it comes to books, I try to not be impulsive. I want to gauge the public's reactions to it first before I venture in, especially when the author is unknown to me. Right now, I'm finishing up 'The Big Sleep' by Raymond Chandler. Maybe I'll get this after I'm done?

Must get back to studying Pharmaceutics and Therapeutics (PnT for short) now. I have a very complicated, scary, ball-busting exam coming up in 1 and 1/2 weeks. So bye for now. And have a great weekend!

Monday Morning Blues

Actually, Mondays are not that bad. The week is just starting and the possibilities are still endless. Right now, I'm sitting in a study space above the Starbucks on campus and reviewing my lecture from last week. The only reason I'm bummed is because I had to awake at 5:30am! Because I had to be here by 8am and commute is almost an hour long! So Mondays don't suck, early morning classes suck, which means every day sucks.

Well. Now that that's off the table, let's move onto more interesting things. I went to my first neighborhood fall fest on Saturday. It was actually a lot of fun. We bought caramel apples, buttered popcorn, went on a hayride. I got a pumpkin! It's the cutest, most orange pumpkin I have ever seen.
There were a lot of young volunteers there around my age and it makes me wish I had volunteered for it. Maybe I'll do it next year :)

Perhaps the most interesting part of the trip was at the very end, when my best friend and I were walking back to our car and avoiding unbelievable amount of (cow?) poop on the road. She turned around and looking behind me, her whole face froze up! She said, "Sherin, look," and pointed behind me.

It was....

 









A dead deer! It was one of those fascinating horrible things that you have to take a picture of...and then immediately feel guilty afterward. Like someone who fell down and embarrassed themselves in a public place. Or a baby doing something loud and silly in a restaurant.

Anyway, the deer had actual maggots crawling all over it especially in those areas where you can see the fur had been chewed away. Eeeewwwww. I honestly don't even know why I am describing this in such detail. I'm sorry this is my second post haha

But in all honesty, the day was a lot of fun. I want to do it again but this time, hopefully run into a dead squirrel or a raccoon or something.....kidding!

Happy Monday!

The Virgin Entry

I have finally decided to create a blog!

This is something I had been thinking of doing for years and could not find the will power to keep it going. There have been quite a few demolished blogs that paved the way for this one. And hopefully, this one lasts.

All I really need to say is this: the reason why I created this blog.

I am a (currently) 21-year old pharmacy student living in Philadelphia, PA, USA, who wants to shake up her life. So many bits and portions of my life, like my social life and friend activity, that used to hold strong corners in my everyday, has all blurred into one giant brown nothing. With one glaring exception: Pharmacy school. I live and breathe school, and school only. This has taken a real toll on my happiness, i.e. it has made me miserable and lonely.

So I need things to change. I have a few ideas like maybe getting a job in the city, and living closer to campus, setting serious time aside to lose about 30 pounds and finally get to my goal weight, appreciating my family and loving them...from a safe distance (because they're nuts!). I feel that I can do all these things as long as I have a plan. I am going to apply to HUP and try to get a job there in their pharmacy department. This way, moving to the city would not leave me without a job.
