The Half-way Mark

WELL,

I have finished 3 out of my 6 exams. My next exam is not until Tuesday, and I am giving myself the night off; particularly since it's Friday night.

And wouldn't you know, I have nothing to do so I'm going to sit at home and work on my internet blog. Oh for shame.

First, thanks to all those who left well-wishes to my last post. Particularly to CB for the almost-prescription that she almost-wrote and almost-signed, and which I was almost-able to dispense. Good news, CB - it almost worked.

An update on my condition - I have been getting blood in my nasal sputum! Yes, that's right. Somewhere up there my head is bleeding. Fortunately that's subsided though, only lasting a couple of days. Things are starting to let up though, proving once again that God is good and that it pays to own something akin to the cold & flu section of your local pharmacy.

As for my exams, I've done two written and one OSCE (an oral exam, also spelled H-E-L-L), and have two OSCEs and one written left. This time next week I will be a free man; I look forward to it.

Something I learned today, other than Paediatric Pharmacokinetics, was that people are generally ok with you wearing the same pair of jeans 3 days in a row. My housemate said a maximum of 3, and my pharmacy mates said a maximum of 5. Well, I'm up to 6 now so I should probably wash them tomorrow. But they're so comfy and they don't even smell yet. I wonder if I can make a record...

That's all from me tonight. My second wind arrived at about 4pm this arvo, and is beginning to blow out, so I'd better post my next pigeon fact and get to bed.

Sincerely,
S. Magooter

You have to wash jeans?

You have to wash clothes?

Funnily enough H-E-L-L also spells hell. Was that just a coincidence?

Yes. Entirely so. And the comment should be taken as just that; and not interpreted as an inference that the pharmacy department is the realm of the devil, and the staff are his cronies.

No, the staff are good. Protocols would just seem to suggest that they like seeing how many people can make it through the examinations period alive.

Says the almost-pharmacist, hoping his "fever" doesn't make the red face paint run.

Hey, it's unfair game to make fun of a photo which I willingly posted.
