I can never figure out why all the big, awesome events on campus seem to occur the week or two weeks before finals. It really makes you pick and choose what you can attend, and what you're going to have to miss. Here are a couple of things that are going on in my world, and unfortunately, they're...

Technically, this weekend isn't supposed to be a "long weekend" but every year Butler hosts the Undergraduate Research Conference (URC), and a lot of classrooms are taken up with presentations, which results in a lot of classes being cancelled for that day. However, every year my professors...

Usually the subject of my posts are about pharmacy school and how much I'm studying and the sort of things that I'm learning. This post is going to be a bit different, because last night I actually went out and had some fun! We finished up clusters Wednesday morning, and all the pharmacy students...

Last semester I wrote a post called A Day in the Life of a Pharmacy Student . I quickly found out that a lot of people reading my blog want to know all about being a pharmacy student. Now that next year's incoming freshman have got their acceptance into pharmacy, I decided that I would do another...

Ok, so this post is late. Way late, really. Initiation happened near the beginning of the month. Since then I've finished classes, studied and completed exams, cleaned up my apartment, and travelled home. Initiation is the end of the semester-long pledge process. It's a big event for our fraternity...

What a CRAZY time my life has been since I last posted a blog. I'm currently at home for Thanksgiving break, but the professors didn't let up on the work until the very last minute of class on Friday. I had a quiz in lab on Thursday like usual, and a quiz before Therapeutics case conference on...

This past week, Jake and I had a "pharmacy chat." We had a great turnout, and some awesome questions! I felt really bad that I only had time to give one line answers to some of the questions that probably deserved more details. So, if you were at the chat and want to know more, you might find...

This past weekend I headed to Cincinnatti / Kentucky with 18 of my friends to go to a midyear meeting for Kappa Psi. There are several meetings across the country around this time of the year, and the meeting we went to was for chapters across the Midwest - from as far west as Wisconsin, as far north...

Today is a BIG day for the pharmacy fraternities (all three of us)! We've all finished our interest sessions and interviews. We've picked our pledges, and today we get to go out and deliver our bids! Kappa Psi finished up interviews on Tuesday evening. Interviews for us are a pretty laid back...

The first set of clusters is creeping up on me quickly, so I figure now is a good time to explain what they are, and why my life revolves around them. "Clusters" is the term used for a three-day period that the pharmacy department uses to hold tests for every class. All pharmacy classes are...

When I was a freshman, I did not take enough advantage of the interest sessions offered for all the organizations on campus. Once I got accepted at Butler in my senior year (I was accepted early in December), I started receiving the Butler News Digest, which is when I started to realize how many organizations...

Hey everyone! So I've gone back and read some of my posts, and some of the other blogs as well, and I'm starting to realize that Butler students live for the weekend! With so many great things to do on campus and around the city, how could we not? But as I was thinking about it, I realized that...

So, the title of this post should explain all the big news in my life right now! On the morning of August 30th, my boyfriend and I headed into Chicago for the day. I had decided that I wanted to ride the Ferris wheel at Navy Pier (pictured below) and so we headed there first. My boyfriend let me enjoy...

Hi Everyone! So I'm back at Butler for my fourth year! My time here has really gone by quickly. It seems like just yesterday that I was moving into Schwitzer for the first time. Indiana is pretty hot this time of year (at least in comparison to my home in Canada) and Schwitzer wasn't air conditioned...
