“There’s something about this type of music that feels tangible, the rasp in a voice, it’s unmanufactured. Feels like you could reach out and pluck it right out of the air.”

- A few sentences I jotted down while listening to a Shovels & Rope record.

First year coming to a close.

Sun, 05 May 2013 15:20:56 -0500

After Thursday, I will have completed my last final of my first year of pharmacy school. It’s hard to believe it is coming to a close already. A certain level of finals stress is to be expected, but last night I dreamt of climbing. Good to know my subconscious has it’s priorities straight.

Introspective.

I understand why all of the great American writers were drunks. Drinking alone is pretty god damn introspective. There’s something about sipping a coffee or bourbon that makes me want to write something down.

““In the South, the breeze blows softer… neighbors are friendlier, nosier, and more talkative. This is a different place. Our way of thinking is different, as are our ways of seeing, laughing, singing, eating, meeting and parting. Our walk is different, as the old song goes, our talk and our names. Nothing about us is quite the same as in the country to the north and west. What we carry in our memories is different too, and that may explain everything else.””

Equilibrium.

Sun, 03 Mar 2013 14:46:55 -0600

Throughout my academic career this concept has continuously peaked it’s head. Even now as I work towards my doctorate of pharmacy, it is spoken of in several courses & will likely appear in the future. Equilibrium is both a basic foundation & extremely in depth concept. The reason I’m writing about it now is because not only is it important in physiologic function & chemical reactions, but it is crucial in achieving a healthy state of mind.

A year ago when I was interviewing for pharmacy programs, a commonplace question that came up was, “What interests/hobbies do you have outside of academics/work?” It was explained, students without outside hobbies weren’t as successful in the programs. There have already been 3 students dropped from my class. (One chance for failure is allowed in the program, two and you’re out.) I can’t help but wonder if a lack of balance aided in their demise from the program.

It makes sense, without an outlet to the countless hours of mundane studying, you feel like you’re trapped in your own skin. A sort of restless cabin fever swells up inside you. Without an outlet, it’ll eat you alive. This seems applicable to many other situations in life.

I will forever be striving to achieve equilibrium. Maybe it is unattainable, or maybe the ever changing bar is part of what makes the process what it is. No matter the answer, I have found what aids in my pursuit for the foreseeable future. That is rock climbing.

The little bit I do get to climb these days is typically a solo event. Which means I’ve been on a rope even less. Bouldering is what I was initially introduced to in the climbing world, but I’d definitely like to progress with sport. Especially since I still feel pretty intimidated. Progression is always on my mind it seems.

How much coffee did I drink before Pharmacy school?

How much now?

How much will I consume by the end?

If only I’d thought to record this from the beginning.

A bit of the basics of compounding have been introduced this semester. Although I haven’t been exposed to much yet, the first two drugs I compounded have really peaked my interest. There’s such a methodical, organized, and concise way to perform the tasks that I find solace in.
