another one bites the dust

oh the plurality of this title... so I got through GLPRC unscathed.  I did have to wait until the last day to present but I made it and now it is over.  I officially just have my teaching portfolio and my manuscript left as far as big projects go and neither of those require presenting anything so that is AWESOME :-)

In other news... since it is the last day of the month I have also finished my another rotation.  My time in the NICU is now complete.  AND!!! I only have 2 more rotations left in my PGY1... how crazy is that?!?!

I have a bunch of stuff to do before starting my PGY2... I have a large To Do list going right now.  I am a little stressed out that I'll be offsite for much of next month but at least I get to go on vacation so that is a plus.

Anyway, life is pretty good right now.  I am enjoying the last couple of months with B and I both here before I move and just soaking it all up.  It is hard to believe that this year has gone so fast.

That's all for now.

goodnight

stressed

I hate the GLPRC.  If you don't know what this is, it is a big conference where all the pharmacy residents in this area go to present their research projects.  I hate my research project.  I hate that we had so many unforseen bumps in the road.  I hate that I don't really have any awesome findings... or any findings really.  I hate that I have to give a presentation.  I hate that the slides are due on my birthday.  Yeah, I just am not pleased.

In other news, I went to find an apartment yesterday.  It was a lot more stressful than I anticipated and I'm not really sure how I am going to manage doubling my housing budget next year when I'm not making any more money really... but I guess we'll just see how it goes.  I think I'm also just really stressed about moving away from B.  I mean, this year we have been apart a lot but there is something different about going and putting a deposit on a place that I know only I am moving into.  I think I'm just really nervous about moving away without any of my people.  On the plus side, I will be close to a couple who live out there that I really enjoy and I got to see them this weekend and they were really supportive of the area that I was moving to and said that it should be a really fun area.  So that is a good thing.  And the apartment will be re-done on the inside right before I move in with new laminate/engineered flooring in the main living area and new stainless steel appliances as well as new higher end counter tops and cabinets AND the biggest bonus is that there is a W/D in the apartment.  So I mean, I'm excited in some ways but I am just nervous too.

Now I need to get some more work done on my stupid presentation.  grr.
