The hyperventilating has begun.
The letter has been sent out. I repeat, the letter has been sent out.
Within the next 24-48 hours my life will change. Hopefully for the better and not the worst. I mean there's really nothing I can do at this point, whats done is done. I just really want to know! Im so ready for my future and to take the next step.
Here's to hoping I have good news to report on Thursday or Friday. :)

Geeking Out
Being apart of the pharmacy atmosphere makes me a total geek for all things pharmacy. Just by browsing Pinterest, I found so many cheesy pill shaped things that I would love to have and use.
Capsule Magnets would be perfect to put all my pharmacy related achievements on the fridge!
A USB for all my class projects? Even better!
Everyone in class would be jealous if they saw my pill shaped highlighters!
I would probably get to class on time if I had this pill alarm clock!!
My fellow pharmacy technicians would get a kick out of getting these pill shaped nail polishes!
And finally.. Pill shaped earrings. I bet my customers would ask if they were real! So Fun!

Our PSA
I wanted to post our PSA that we created for English, because there are a few people out there that see this page.
We had such a great time filming it! It was funny to see all the looks we were getting while filming in the mall. Our blooper reel could have been hours and hours because we were laughing through the entire process! I loved being able to make this video with Lauren and Hannah and our friends!
We all feel that this is a very important message that everyone needs to see, young and old alike!
Enjoy!

I Survived!
I did it! I survived the interview process! Whoop whoop!
The day started way to early, and the night before I was a mess. I did not want to go to sleep at all, and then couldn't sleep, it was a struggle. So, just as I was about to head out the door we had a wardrobe malfunction. I was just about to walk out the door and riiiiip. My pants, they ripped. I had no idea what to do and I was already running late, my roommates were up with me and decided it wasn't noticeable so I just went on my merry way to the interview! I got to do my individual interview first, thank goodness! I was so glad that I could get them out of the way. While I can't say much about the interview process, it was a great experience and I'm so glad I got to do it. The day went buy so quickly I could hardly believe it!
So now we are back to the waiting game, but not much longer! Im so ready to get that final letter. It has been such a long process, but I'm so grateful for the experience.

Tick Tock Goes the Clock
We are so close to interview day, so dang close. Its really hard to believe.
I'm not really sure what I'm feeling right now, both nervous and excited, but mostly nervous. I haven't had much time to practice since this week has been so busy, although thats probably a good thing that way I can keep my mind off of things. But I plan to do a little bit tomorrow night. They've told us we can't really practice for this, we just have to go in and be ourselves. Here's to hoping it goes well, I'll meet you all on the other side. Eek!

Flu Vaccines? Already?
The FDA has endorsed the World Health Organizations picks for the 2015-2016 flu vaccines. It seems weird that they would pick these strains already as the virus still has a lot of time to regenerate and change.
But nonetheless it is important that they pick the strains early enough so that they have time to develop the vaccines. They have decided to choose 2 new strains to join the one from last year for this next season. There will be an H3N2, H1N1, and type B virus available for the next season. A member of the Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee said that the committee watches the viruses that affect Asia and the Southern Hemispheres as most of the viruses seem to drift westward as well as northward, and then they base the selections off of that.

Contraception for All?
I read an article today about making oral contraceptives (Birth Control) available over the counter without a prescription.
I can see both the positives and negatives in this topic.
On the plus side, it would allow for more women to have access to these medications especially low income families who feel they can't afford a doctor's visit. I believe that everyone no matter their economic status should have the access to effective birth control. The article stated that 21% of low-income women would be very likely to use birth control if they could get it OTC. The other positive side to this is the prevention of unplanned pregnancy. Unfortunately abortions are still legal in this country, having birth control available over the counter would help prevent this in the future.
On the other side i can definitely see birth control getting into the wrong hands. Teenagers are the most likely to abuse this system. I feel that if they do move birth control OTC and ID should be required and only approved for those 18 and older. Hormones are running wild at this age and I can see young teens who have no idea what they're getting themselves into going out to buy birth control. That decision should be between the parents and the child at that young age, not the teens themselves.
