what!?! summer is 1/3 over already!?!

Wow, June has gone by ridiculously fast! Not quite sure if that's a good thing or not.....probably not because I want my last free summer to be looooong and full of fun stuff! Here's what's been up so far:

Can't remember if I wrote about this before, but the Fay's wedding was beautiful! I had fun being a bridesmaid and I think that everything went off without a hitch and it was pretty darn drama-free. The location was absolutely gorgeous, and so was Sarah!

I did my Institutional IPPE during the first 3 weeks of June @ Saginaw Covenant Cooper Pharmacy. It was....interesting...I guess. Well, my preceptor was a nice guy, but he pretty much ditched me after the first 3ish days. Not cool. Why would you sign up to be a preceptor if you don't even teach the student anything? But the rest of the staff was very friendly. This one tech named Wende was super nice and kinda became my mentor while I was there. She showed me the ropes of what a tech normally does, and she answered all of my stupid questions. Hehe. But the pharmacists were kinda too busy to teach me anything. I did some "observing" where I watched them click around on their computers while they entered orders and checked on patient stuff, but nobody really explained much and I felt really in the way. So it wasn't a hard IPPE, but I did spend a lot of time standing around being useless because nobody bothered to keep teaching me after the first few days. But at least it's over with, so now I don't have anymore major responsibilities for the summer.

My job this summer is just to do yard work and housework for my parents...and they're paying me for it! Silly people, but I'm not complaining! I need to step up my game though. It's easy to get stuff done when my parents aren't around cuz it feels more like my house, but when they're home I feel less of a responsibility to clean up around the house. Oh well, I'm trying to be more of a help than I have been recently.

Kelly and I went to Big Rapids this past weekend!!! It started out kinda sucky. We couldn't get ahold of anyone, it was so frustrating! But we ended up having a fun game night on Saturday, and Sunday was a blast with church, tubing, movies, etc. I LOVE MY FRIENDS! Yep. I get sooooo lonely here in Midland because I have basically no best friends here. I have close friends, but none that I can really tell everything to. So it was really exciting to see my besties in BR and do some catching up. I'm hoping to go back REALLY soon.

I was guaranteed the apartment I wanted for my year in Kzoo coming up! Yay! I think I put up some pics in a previous blog post, go check it out. I haven't gotten to put down a deposit or sign a lease yet, but they're holding one for me that has all of my preferences (2nd/3rd floor, woods view). Yay! If you're reading this you should plan on coming to visit me so you can see it in person!

That's probably all for now.

Does anyone actually read this? Just curious. Sometimes it's good to just write and get stuff out of my head, but I never know if it matters to anyone else. Lol.

OK, buh bye!
