[2015 Pharmacy] Time to write about some school?

I just realized, I haven't blogged about school, yet.

I think that'll not be the norm, though, since my hell-ish school year (3rd year pharmacy) is about to be over!!! YAY!!!

My oral exam is on Monday, basically it's an exam where everything you learned in the past 3 years is fair game and they are going to test you on the way you present the your answer (orally) and the way you solve questions (written). 

Because I'm in the first class (Monday class) we have the quiz right after on Tuesday, too, focusing on 3 cases that we did not get assessed on. 

All my life, my central focus has been school. Watching TV had been my passion since I could remember. Singing and Music had always been the talents/habbits I tried to keep. 

It's sad, but normal for girls my age to know almost nothing outside of school - especially in Asian populations. Good thing in my generation, we have all the informatic technologies accessible to us - so I lead a much sociable lives than I would've if phones were the only means of communication. 

As to what I study, I study pharmacy. It's NOT mainly about researching and developing new drugs (pharmacology, biochemistry). It is more focused on the clinical side - we become pharmacists, the " licensed drug dealer" lol. We study very hard to safe guard you from bum head physicians who does not know what the different drugs would do to you. In many cases, our existence can help you manage side effects, save you money, save you time from extra dr.'s office visits, and even deaths. So, I gotta say it's a pretty important role that we play in the health care system - and your daily lives. I mean what other health care profession can be accessed this easily :P -  just walk in, maybe line up for a bit and you get someone who studied 5+ years in the university about every common drugs to help you - and it's free for you (you only pay for the drugs, we get set hourly wages).

No matter how much I complained about the shifts in our profession to a more corporate/ retail nature, I still highly value what I will be doing and glad that I made the choice of coming to study all common medical conditions and their drugs down to the drug structures and how they react with our bodies.

Now, I think that's enough school talk... I need to focus in class instead of typing irrelevant posts LOL. ah,
ttyl

Bye bye~ ★
