\"schedule My schedule is awesome. It’s shaped like the Autobot logo but with a snorkel. Classes outside of the snorkel start at 12:30, but the snorkel is my 8:30 lab. With only 15 credit hours, I can throw myself into my work this semester. <\/p>\n

I am not however TA-ing this semester. I just could not make the kind of time for a five hour a week commitment. Especially, since I can’t get paid to do it. And I’m really sad that I have to give it up because I enjoyed it. I just would feel guilty if my sub par teaching were to inadvertently crush some poor pharmacy student’s dreams. It’s too bad. I got fairly good reviews in my end of semester evaluation. At least one student really liked me. And I made some mistakes, and I’m eager not to repeat them and teach and “public speak” better. But I hated all the paperwork. Except for trolling papers. Like underlining “epitome” and writing next to it, “pretentious word choice” (but not deducting points). Or reading a funny answer and writing “LAWLs”. <\/p>\n

I fear I’ve gotten boring. I’m close to posting pictures of the food I eat. I don’t do much fun freshman year-type stuff anymore like randomly sledding or randomly getting hit in the head with random stuff. <\/p>\n

I’m still feeling out of place in the Pharmacy class. But I’m not the only one. There’s a tight-knit cluster of Purdue Prepharmacy alumni who are like the veterans of D-Day. Together, they’ve seen the worst of the worst. At least they no longer think I’m some super smart prodigy. Now, I’m a snarky, self-deprecating nerd. And they may or may not think I’m a coke addict. Could be worse.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
