It's been a while since the last post... or at least it seems like it!
This past MLK weekend, I went to Gatlinburg, TN with my pharmacy fraternity: Phi Delta Chi. We had an amazing time with about 30 of us in a HUGE 3-story wooden cabin. It was complete with 2 hot tubs, a HUGE kitchen (it reminds me of Pioneer Woman's), pinball and arcade machines, movie theater room, and pool table. I could seriously live there.
Every night there was a huge party in the cabin with Brothers from other chapters (it was a Phi Delta Chi retreat) and it was cool to meet a lot of people, plus bond with our own chapter Brothers.
Unfortunately, after many nights of drinking, bad nutrition, and not enough sleep, I got sick. It's the first time i've gotten sick all year though so I guess I'll take it now and not during a whole bunch of exams. At least half of us got sick, so we have dubbed it: Gatlinburgitis.
Totally worth it though :)
And now this is my first (and probably only) free weekend where I don't have any big assignments, exams, etc. to study for. And no CVS!
But it really is the silence before the storm because after this coming week, all hell breaks loose.
Keep you posted :)

Orientation Day #2/First Dose of Franklin
Second day of Orientation was on Friday and was much shorter (9AM-12:30PM). Met a lot more great fellow classmates :) I think my favorite part was listening to the presentation about "Getting Involved" from 2 school leaders. It both inspired and intimidated me; I'm not sure if I could ever follow in the footsteps of those guys!
Afterwards, I treated Errol to lunch for dropping me off/picking me up from both days of Orientation. Thank goodness for his GPS on his handy-dandy Droid because we can just type in what we're craving and it will lead us there. I was craving some pad thai noodles, so we were led to Thai Palace on Raleigh St.
It was very delicious! I had my usual (always try out the noodles every Thai restaurant I go to) with thai iced tea and Errol had some curry with rice noodles. Not the biggest fan of curry, so I didn't try his plate, but mine was so good! The portions weren't large; we finished both of our meals (which is very rare for me) and the prices were very reasonable.
That night was the first Dose of Franklin at The Library on Franklin St. The "Doses" are sponsored by Student Senate as a social/fundraiser ($3 cover before 11PM went to Senate). Beforehand, a fellow PY1, Errol, and I joined in on some pre-gaming with PY2's. Had some delicious shots and was introduced to the games, "Boom" and "Last Word".
The Library was a lot of fun! It was packed with fellow students and it seemed like I could approach anyone and just introduce myself. Had some Rx Shooters, Washington Apples, Apple Sauce, and another one I don't remember. But all were yummy! Met a lot of new people and hung out with ones I met at Orientation.
Overall, great day!
