It's not over

This past year has been, in a word, fabulous. Similar to the end of school last year, this is a blog to commemorate the year. It's interesting to contrast it to the one from last year. I'll start from the beginning.

A second year of pharmacy school has finished, and I made it. I didn't fail out, I'm still here. I'll be starting third year next August, the beginning of my professional years. Friday night is going to be my last sleep in Osol 245, Suite 240. What a year. My initial impression when the year started in August was that it was going to be a good one, but I don't think I could have predicted all that I have been blessed with and all that I have learned and experienced.

I have come to: appreciate other cultures, try so many new things, learn not to judge people, have exceptional patience, get completely drunk, be the white girl with the big butt who can dance, learn some Gujarati, study more than I ever thought possible, love karaoke, express myself more, be so much more thankful for what I have, and make amazing friends who I could never forget and who have gotten me through this year.

Next year I am living in a house - a HOUSE! It's a great house, and the people I'll be living there with are even greater. I'm not sure if a house full of 6 girls can compare to a tiny suite full of 9 girls, but I know it will live up to my expectations and more. And still nothin' wrong with being the only white girl....

Friday we are going to have a water balloon fight in the quad in the afternoon after the microbiology exam, and that night we're going order-in and spend the night talking and of course laughing.

This summer I'm going to be taking biochemistry from May 12 - June 26, and eventually moving into the house as well as working as much as possible. I'm going to miss this so much, but at the same time I'm looking forward to the coming years because it is only going to get better.

I have to dedicate this to the twenty-and-up who have made this year so memorable. It just wouldn't have been the same without you.
