In the airport right now, waiting to leave for North Carolina. I've been working this whole summer in Olympia (Tumwater to be exact), so this will be a nice vacation (I hope). I've done a lot of reading this summer, which was nice. I've read the first 4 books of the Sookie Stackhouse series. AWFUL writing. It's too bad I enjoy the stories so much. I also read Love in the Time of Cholera, World War Z, and the last book of the Twilight series (also awful writing), and am working on The Ghost Map. I have the 5th of the Sookie Stackhouse series on deck. God. What a waste of my time and energy. Oh well.
So now, in these next few weeks--the remainder of the summer--I have to find a place to live. It stresses me out just a little bit, which cant be all that surprising, considering school starts on the 28th of this month (!). Anyways, back to the reading. I may throw in some educational reading just for good measure. Maybe I'll make up for brain cells lost in the time I was reading that other crap.

My day off...14 days of work til I get another...
Today was one of the best days I've had since moving to Olympia for the summer. I planned on working today, but my plans changed--and I'm happy they did!
Thursday, one of the pharmacists I work with texted me, and asked me if I wanted to go to a Prismacolor/card class at the local paper/scrapbooking store. Her and the two techs at work are always bringing in neat projects and things they've done in the classes at this store, and I thought it would be really neat to learn how to do some of those things. I was so excited! She signed me up for today's class (and she even paid for it--wouldn't let me pay her back, either), which was supposed to start at 10:30am, so I just planned on working 1-7pm tonight. Well, the class got moved to 11:30, so I decided to take the rest of the day off and just work tomorrow instead. The class was so much fun. It mostly consisted of coloring in stamps, then using them in combination with other papers to make cards. The cards turned out really well--I really enjoyed making them! Here are the finished cards--the pictures dont do them justice.
After the class, I took advantage of the fact that I could hit up the local antique shops during the day...you know, when they're open. It's been so hard to do anything lately, since everyone's closing their shops early due to the economy. By the time I get off work, there's nothing open downtown. Anyways, I picked up a few things from the antique shops, and I also walked the farmer's market, which is something I've been wanting to do since moving here.
When I finally got home, it was around 3pm, so I put on my bathing suit, got my book, a towel, and my fishing gear, and headed out to the dock to read, fish, and relax. I definitely was glad to get my vitamin D--none of that artificial stuff, either. The reading only lasted about half an hour--I decided to just try my luck at fishing. I was getting so many bites, it was crazy. I gave up on the reading, and took to the fishing pole, and fished on the dock for a couple hours, catching 2 fish. Then I ventured out in the row boat and "trolled" for a while, getting tons of bites and snagging one fish. It was a great day of fishing, that's for sure. Here are the two fish I happened to take pictures of:
The weather was beautiful; I fished until about 8pm, then brought myself in so I didn't pass out from dehydration. Overall, a great day! I really needed this one day off:)

Lemonade?
So after Friday's incident, my parents acted really worried and a little sketch. They wouldn't tell me where they were exactly on yesterday (Saturday) when I called, and then they told me they were looking at cars. A few minutes later, they told me they were going to get me one. Then after asking what kind, they said it was a surprise...then that it was a Scion. SO...I drove home yesterday after work, to find a new, red, Scion XD in front of the house. Yep. They bought me a new car. It even has AC!
I must say though, when we drove my old car into the dealership this morning, I cried a little...I'm going to miss that little car.

Lemons
Today was great--I drove to Bothell this morning. I left a little late actually, and still made it up there in 1 hour! I also had to give a presentation today on Lice, and OTC products to treat lice infestations. It was the best presentation I've ever given...not a whole lot of fidgeting, "ums", "likes" or stuttering! We even got out early today after having a pretty cool discussion on finances.
Unfortunately, at 3pm on a Friday, people like to hit the road, just like me. I spent 1.5 hours on the freeway, no AC in the car, and my car was overheating. I blasted the heater to try to cool the car a bit, only to find myself sitting in a puddle of my own sweat. I only drove 40 miles in that 1.5 hours, and my car decided to die right in the middle of the freeway. Luckily, some nice guys helped me push my car across 3 lanes to the shoulder of the busy freeway. Another good samaritan pulled over and backed his truck up probably 200 feet to get to me, just to ask if I was alright or if I needed help. The cops didnt even pull over like that! This place is definitely no Oregon. I spent a good amount of time talking to my parents who were freaking out, and finally, decided to try and start up the car. It started, thank goodness! I just feel bad for the Volkswagen Jetta parked 0.2 miles north of me that had to get towed...Could this be some kind of testament to the engineering of old Volkswagens? I'm sure the manufacturers wouldn't be too happy about this coincidence.
I carefully got back on the freeway, got off at the next exit (about a mile south), and parked the car in the lot of a shopping mall. Thinking I needed to let my car sit some more and wait for traffic to die down, I decided I would enjoy the AC inside the mall and see a movie. Unfortunately, none of the movies I was willing to pay for started until 7 (it was about 5pm), so I walked the mall like so many adolescents before me. I bought a book at Borders, and noticed the smell of sweat and funk lingering around me. I walked carefully around the mall, careful to avoid people and spare them the pain of my stink. I not only looked like melted death...I definitely smelled like it...or worse. I found a Bath and Body Works, and carefully "browsed" the store, using the most potent and pretty smelling tester sprays they had. I thought this was helpful...but the stink lingered...I am still unsure of what exactly smelled on me.
I perused Target a little and got some ink for my printer, along with a sports drink and some printer paper, parked my butt on a bench in the middle of the mall, and read until 730. I decided at that time that it was probably safe for me to venture home in my poor car, and I finally got home at 820. Needless to say, I was a little disappointed in the fact that I wasnt able to go to bed at 5pm like I had hoped.
And now, here I am...just typing away my complaints. I just hope this makes me sleep better. Day 13 of work tomorrow...then I'm driving down to Portland. Great timing, huh?

Keeping it open
I've decided that since I never blog, I'm going to have to leave this window open until I post something each day.
SO.
I've had this window open for 3 days now. So much for the motivation. I think the fact that I have about 5 other tabs open on my Firefox makes it less of a big deal. I just made the most asian dinner I could think of--rice with seaweed, miso soup, and vegetables. It has been at least 10 days since I started my pescatarian diet. Actually, I haven't even eaten any fish, so at this point, I am a vegetarian.
[Thank god I didn't have to give up cheese, milk, or eggs]
I started my second week of work up here in Olympia yesterday. I am working in an Albertson's pharmacy in Tumwater. I really enjoy the people I've been working with. My preceptors are very laid back, and everyone seems willing to provide answers, no matter how stupid they are. I feel like a totally useless goob sometimes, but my preceptor said I'm catching on really quick...and she doesn't really seem like the type to stroke someone's ego. I guess I just have to keep in mind that I'm completely new at what I'm doing, so stupid questions are expected.
I've been living in Lacey with a woman named Betty. Her house is beautiful--it's right on a lake. She has her own dock, and the house has a beautiful sunroom, which is awesome to just sit, read, relax, and feel the warm breeze. It's so peaceful here. I've only gone fishing off her dock a couple times--I think I need to figure out what the locals are using for bait. I eyeballed a H U G E fish (carp I think). It was next to some reeds, which are right near the yard--only about a foot and a half of water at most. This fish (I'm calling him Ferd) was at least 2 feet long. He was so big, his back was actually sticking out of the water. Crazy fish.
Anyways, this post is long enough. I'll write more later.

Oregon Twilight Meet
Yesterday my parents and I went down to Eugene for the Oregon Twilight Meet. The headlining event: men's 4x1mile relay. They were out to set the collegiate record--and they succeeded! They beat the old record with a time of 16:03.24, beating the old collegiate record (set by Michigan in '05) by more than a second. The team also beat the Hayward Field record by almost 2 seconds. Members of the relay (in order of leg ran): Matthew Centrowitz, Andrew Wheating, Shadrack Biwott, Galen Rupp.
Here's Rupp's last lap to finish the race:
It was a pretty cool race in that they let the fans down onto the track for the race--so there was a crowd of fans all the way around the track to cheer on the runners. That will probably never happen again...or at least not for a very long time. I am sure this was a highlight for many people, as Hayward's track has hosted many outstanding track and field athletes.
Another highlight: we got to see Jesse Williams of Nike high jump. His jump of 7'8 is the second best outdoor height in the world right now. His attempts at 7'9 were close, but he was not able to pull a fair jump off.
Otherwise, the meet was fun, and I'm glad I went. I'm hoping I'll be able to make it to the Prefontaine Classic June 7th.
Oh yeah--and Dan O'Brien sat like 10 feet away from me. Be jealous.

It's been a while.
I have a new computer! Every day, I keep thinking about how I should be blogging...and then I dont. BUT...now I have a new computer, so that changes everything. I want to be on this thing all the time. It's so nice to type on and play around with [that's what she said]! Anyways, so it's been a while though since my last blog. Not a whole lot has happened since then. I've had two midterms, with another two coming up next week. Yay. I've played some good volleyball...and some bad volleyball. Oh--and today I decided (after looking at my class/exam schedule) that I will participate in the keg races over Memorial day weekend. That weekend, on Saturday, we will be attending Spirit Mountain's "Raindrops" (a club...yea. seriously). When I say we, I mean myself and some pharmacy student friends...as if I have any others. Then the following day is the day of the keg races.
Other news, we've been starting class elections and such. Well, we've really been starting OSSP elections, and will be having speeches from those running for OSSP chair positions Friday. I'm excited that some of my classmates have the opportunity to get involved like I have been this past year. I'm really glad I was able to be a part of student government this year, actually. I had forgotten how nice it is to be busy and involved in school. Anyways, I will be running for the EC event coordinator position--a non-voting position in EC, but it should be very fun.
Lab was interesting today. We talked about skin problems, like psoriasis, dry skin, poison oak/ivy, and skin hypersensitivity. Here are some things from lab this week, as well as a couple pictures from lab last week, when we talked about wounds, burns, etc.

Oh Saturday
Tonight the Blazers lost...not only did they lose...they got blown out. At home. A bunch of us pharm students got together and had a pot luck tonight and watched the game. It was a pretty enjoyable night overall. Now I'm wasting time on the computer so I dont have to study my vitamins. Woo. Hmmm...maybe I should go out with all those people...I'm seriously considering it since I'm home alone and have no reason to come home or be home right now. I just dont want to deal with a hangover tomorrow. I have to show the apartment to someone tomorrow at 1ish in the afternoon, and I should study...I haven't been productive at all today. Getting drunk tonight might actually make sense now that I'm thinking about it. It would be the perfect end to a nonproductive day. Ugh. I cant let me talk myself into drinking...because in order for me to actually enjoy myself anywhere in town (corvallis) I'd have to be totally trashed...ok. I'm not going to do it. I've worked too hard lately going to the gym and all...Yeah. I shouldnt. Ok. I wont. Maybe. Ugh.
Ohhh...the decisions a college student must make...Those people with real jobs can get trashed on Fridays and Saturdays without the consequences... haha

Monday Monday
I went to my rotation today at the Albany Medicap. I was there for 5 hours, but it went by really fast. I honestly had a great time. One of my classmates and I were able to help out a lady go through her mom's medications. It was actually really rewarding, and the woman was very appreciative.
I also mailed out my Washington intern license today. Yay me! Now I just have to fill out my Albertsons application and get pee-tested. Not so yay me.
Anyways, I need to cut this short, because I'm hungry--going to hit up the late night happy hour at McMenamin's with Craig:) Yay for cheap burgers/fries and delicious beer late at night!
I'm so working out tomorrow morning:)

Easter Sunday
Today is Easter Sunday. Not really a big day for me personally, but the town of Corvallis has cleared out for the weekend. Yesterday I was able to go visit my parents and have dinner with them. We had okonomiyaki--delicious! Craig made olive bread too. I was excited to visit the cats and the dog while we were there. We left late and ended up just driving back down to Corvallis that night. On our way out of town, Craig got pulled over for driving too slow...hahaha. Hilarious. Today...nothing. I definitely did catch up on sleep though, which was much needed and appreciated. I am thinking about dying my hair tonight...maybe get some studying done.
I really want to just read a book.
Oh--here's something interesting. Apparently (according to Facebook) my sister and her boyfriend got another dog. They already have a shih tzu, which they got only a few months ago. Ok. First of all, yes. I'm jealous. Second, seriously...two dogs? Dogs live 10+ years...it's a huge commitment to make--especially jointly with a boyfriend of only a few months. Might as well have a kid.

Etsy is dangerous.
So Craig and I had a nice night last night--we watched The Devil's Rejects. Pretty disturbing movie--I loved it. If you're looking for a horror film, and aren't scared by the gory stuff, I would definitely recommend this movie to you. It's got so many disturbing elements, it's scary (pun intended).
Anyways, today I got on etsy to look for a late birthday present I could send to my sister. First I looked at the necklaces, then I started looking at the rings and purses. First, I have no clue what my sister likes. I'm going to bet it's nothing like what I like. Second, I just spent over two hours browsing etsy. Kill me. But seriously though...what an awesome site. Every time I get on there, I want to learn how to make jewelry and learn how to sew. Some people are just too talented for their own good. I still haven't found anything for my sister yet...maybe I'll just get something for myself and call it good.
This weekend is Easter weekend. Yay. I'm not sure why I even mention it, seeing as I'm not religious, and will spend the majority of the time "studying". And by "studying", I mean studying. And by studying, I mean browsing Etsy for hours on end, not actually buying anything because I can't make a decision on what to get, or come up with an excuse to spend money on jewelry I can't wear for more than a couple hours (hypersensitivity to metals).
Meh. Maybe I'll just have a beer.
Then again, I have been doing a great job (in my opinion, which is the only one that counts) on going to the gym more regularly. It gives me great pleasure to listen to aweful music and sweat bullets all while monitoring the "calories burned" count on the stairmaster. Those counters are somewhat hilarious, but I still get a kick out of burning hundreds of calories in such a short amount of time. 3500 Calories to lose per pound? Oh yeah. I can do that. Along with my "not eating til the point of pain" goal, I'll be a friggen twig in no time! HA.

The First
And so begins my blog...maybe this will be easier than keeping a diary. HA. Doubtful...at least a diary is pseudo-portable. Being that my laptop is basically only functioning as a desktop, a good old fashioned spiral might better suit my needs...it IS lightweight and takes up a minimal amount of space.
Anyways, it's a Wednesday. I should be at Block 15 enjoying a delicious beer right now and playing shuffleboard...alas, the night is young. There will be time for that later, so long as I don't fall asleep at 9:30 pm...again. I just cant seem to get good sleep these days. Wait--I lie. I slept wonderfully Monday night.
Spring term is in full swing now. I should be thinking about projects, studying, tests, etc. Yet, my mind is consumed with books, good cooking, and this summer. YES. Senioritis...and I've got another three years ahead of me. Wonderful. I guess it happens to everyone. Maybe I'll go to the beach this weekend. Ugh. Not very helpful. It's so rare to get a nice sunny day in Oregon, though.
Just last week, I went to a little taqueria in Portland with a friend for happy hour. I had a delicious sangria and ceviche. I actually enjoyed the ceviche so much that I had to find a recipe to try...which I did last night. Here is an approximation of how I made it. The recipe seems somewhat customizable; just make sure there's enough of the acid to "cook" the shrimp, fish, octopus, or whatever you use.
Shrimp Ceviche
Serve on a toasted corn tortilla, or with chips. You can also put this in a martini glass with chips along side. This is really easy to make, but keep in mind that it takes a lot of time to chop everything up.
Anyways, I really liked the ceviche. I'll definitely make it again!

Shrimp Ceviche
- Lemon juice from 3 large lemons
- Lime juice (the store's limes looked aweful, so I just bought the juice and mixed it with the lemon)
- 1 Pound Shrimp, cut into pieces
- 2 Jalepenos diced (I removed the seeds/insides to keep it from getting too spicy)
- 1 Large white onion diced
- 4-5 Tomatos diced
- 1 Bunch of cilantro, minced
- ~1TBSP Worcestershire sauce
- ~1TBSP Ketchup
- Sliced avocado
- Salt/Pepper to taste
