The Weekend Recap Rabbit asks: Do I look like f****** food to you? [refer to post contents, and you will know why!] Overall, I had a pretty good weekend *^_^* But I’m SO exhausted ^^;; Monkey Orange & the Professional Seminar [Aside Begin]Yeah, my Pharmaceutics exam from last Friday was icky. Blah.[/Aside End] I went to a professional pharmacy seminar this past weekend that was held at a pretty nice ski-resort-thingy. I confess that at first I thought that attending such an event would be kinda lame. I was wrong. It was quite fun! There were a total of 8 first years, 5 second years, and about 5 third years who attended the seminar. *^_^* So, what’s the seminar like? In a nutshell, a bunch of us students were crammed in a total of 2 condos that served as our accommodations. We were fed breakfast, lunch, and dinner at the conference centers, and during the times in between the meals, we meandered about and: (1). Collected awesome FREE goodies from various pharmaceutical company booths. Such goodies include very nice pens, cups, clocks, calculators, shirts, candies, notepads, drug samples, and much more. (2). Networked with various pharmacy related professionals from across the state. (3). Listened to a bunch of interesting [but long] pharmacy related presentations. A few notable notes from the seminar weekend: Want some rabbit? -I enjoyed getting to know my classmates better. Good & amazing people. -I lost $10 dollars playing poker [Texas Hold’em]. Poo. (>_<) -I sat at a table with the same woman who interviewed me and rejected my application to pharmacy school the first time I applied. I had no choice but to converse with her. B****. I wonder if she still recognizes me. -On the way back, we stopped at a very small town for snacks. There were these 2 kids [about 9 and 5] having lunch with their grandparents. The grandpa was joking around with the 9 y/o grandson, and telling him to ask me out on a date. Cute. But then… Dialogue: Friend, asks the kids: So, are you kids enjoying the day out with your grandparents? Grandpa: Yep. They are helping us out in picking some rabbits, chickens, and guinea pigs. Friend: Oh, so will you be breeding the rabbits? Grandpa: Yep. We will be breeding them and eating them. pause Friend: Eating them? Grandpa: Well, I don’t like red meat, and I’m tired of eating chicken… Friend: Oh, so will guinea pig be on the menu too? Grandpa: Nah, that’s her precious [points to grandma, who smiles]. Friend: Well, it was nice talking to you folks. You all have a good day. Me: [well, I pretty much said the same thing as we left] Outside in the parking lot, towards the car My second friend, who met up with us in the middle of the conversation about the rabbits, was like “Wait…did he say that he was going to eat the rabbits?” My first friend replied, “Yep. He said he was going to ‘breed’em and eat’em’.” I started laughing! I turned to my friend and said, “I can’t believe you asked if guinea was on also on the menu!’”. And then all 3 laughed as we got into the car. Too funny! And in the end… I really enjoyed my weekend trip, even though I AM dead exhausted. *^_^* But aside from that, I am definitely looking forward to my next two exam-LESS weeks!
