Pharmacy School Rocks.
Hey everyone. My absence from "blog-land" has been due to my orientation week. We have had 8 hour days of orientation all week, and it isn't over yet. I promise that I will find time to post something in the next two days. There haven't been many funny stories, but there has been one embarrassing one... most of you may have heard about it so far.
It has to do with a class composite picture that was taken of me on day one. It was hideous. And, being digital, I would have thought that the photographer would have looked at it, and have me stand in for a second picture... but they did not. I did not know it was bad until they passed around a black and white class composite page. We were to check to see if the right names were affixed to the right pictures.
My name was correct, but boy was my picture bad. My chin was tucked in, making my head and neck look very fat; my eyes were closed and I had the stupidest looking grin on my face! I cannot believe they printed that! My mortification was complete when I heard people I don;t even know at the table next to mine say "look at Carl Smith's picture! It's great!" (followed by laughter.
At first chance, I ran to the lady who was in charge of pictures and requested a retake. The request was granted, and the hideous pictures was replaced by a (slightly) less hideous one. I guess I have to work with what God gave me, after all...
So I started my week being the uncomfortable butt of a good laugh. Things have only been better since. I can't say that I am meeting lots of people, in the sense that I have become friendly with them, but I have been introduced to a lot of people... my head is swimming!
So, 110 students, countless faculty, and $20,000-ish dollars later, I have started my quest towards my pharmacy career! Go me! : )
See ya!
