Blog Hop Linky?

Did it work?

Since I'm changing it up anyways...Why not get some feedback?

First. Ever. Blog hop! Pending I can at least figure out how to connect after writing my "blurb"! I guess there's no time like the present to open up for feedback. The problem is, I don't know how to do a lot of the stuff, like add new pages, and pictures, and fancies yet! But, It'd be nice to get some direction for when I have the skills and the time...gentle direction, that is :)

I am so excited to be part of a very unique blog hop. Gail @My Repurposed Life and MeganDVD @ Beauty in the Attempt are hosting “The Bold and the Beautiful-your blog reviewed”.

Please take a look around my blog, check out the layout, pages, buttons, sidebar and gadgets. I would love for you to gently critique my blog. I’m hoping you will leave me some positive feedback about my blog. It would be great if you could give me constructive criticism but be sure to tell me what you like about my blog too! Do you like my pictures? Does my blog load quickly for you? How about the font? All tips and tidbits welcome!

Redesigning...Or at least ready to make more than just a feeble effort....

After spending a chunk of the evening making a study guide for my management class (I think I'm the only one in pharm school that doesn't loathe the liberal artsy parts of the ciriculum...) I thought I'd to see if it was any easier to try to edit my blog layout on my laptop vs. the desktop. I gave it a try earlier but couldn't manage to change the colors, and it was rather drab. More than an hour later...I found a background and a color combo I don't hate...Although it still needs some work. I could spend hours tweaking the colors alone, but just because I like them doesn't mean that other people can stand to look at it...I'm not happy with the huge chunk of empty space next to the picture (one of about ten shots that are on my laptop...) but it'll work for now. It's not quite as painful to look at, and I think I might actually be ready to share it with more than my 6 followers, and take feedback now that I have the motivation to make my blog suck less.

Not just lazy at blogging....

I took a sick day from school today. Not only did I not feel like walking from the park-n-ride to class with the -temps, but my Aubs wasn't feeling up to par yet, so I kept her home. Mandatory attendance in pharmacy school is gonna have to deal.

Over the weekend I decided to FINALLY finish painting the living room. I started, oh, several months ago at a minimum, painted one corner, and stopped. Wasn't sure I was willing to commit to a neutral shade (Spice delight, a slightly cozier antique white...) in the living room, and wanted to reflect on my choice....My shade reflection turned into academic chaos and laziness...And as I was thinking about painting the bathroom, I was reminded that I still had 7/8ths of a room to complete...

I think I like it.

I'm not saying that I'm going to paint the rest of the house in shades of "meh", but for the living room, it works. Looks stellar with the trim, windows, and our mismatched hand-me-down couch set.

Random, but I thought I'd share.

Constantly Inspired, but just...welll...Lazy

I guess it's time for my quarterly blog post....I'd really like to say, I admire the women I know that can keep up with blogging...Wow...I just...well...can't seem to make it a habit...

So, almost done with another semester of Pharm school! Yay! After tomorrow I will be DONE with pharmacology! One more semester, then it's on to rotations, where my learning can begin....

I'm really excited about my rotations. I've been nervous about getting sites that were over 100 miles away, or really not of my interest, since, well, P1 year. I think that my selection went just fine. The way my school does rotations is weird. We end up with way more than the required number of hours, and although it IS more work, at least it's the sort of work I can learn from. I am fortunate enough to have scored rotations that each satisfy some sort of selfish desire of mine but will also give me a challenge and a really well rounded experience, which is good, cause I've been bored out of my miiiind...

Working has helped a little, I say a little, cause there's really not much happening at my pharmacy in the evenings, just seemingly longer hold times for the occasional ins company call, and housekeeping duties, not really much to challenge my inner pharmacist. I'm excited to be working a couple day shifts over break, and to be able to work during the summer, since I got block 1 off of APPEs. Hopefully this will give me enough intern hours to take part 3 of my boards early, one less thing to worry about...

I've been keeping up my motivation by doing some research, mainly trying to find that perfect residency. I think I finally may have. I am still 100% torn, at this point it is so tempting to just take my job and move on with working, but at the same time I still feel like I want just a little more education, perspective, experience. Maybe APPEs will help me get over it...

Anyways, just making sure my blog doesn't get deleted. Who knows, maybe I will have some time to keep this up over break? It hasn't worked yet...but, maybe?
