Summer has officially started. I have completed about half of my full summer classes this year, and have survived the first wave of tests. My next set of tests begin next Monday and continue until the middle of July. I will certainly be busy with my pharmacology, pharmaceutics, health care systems, and communications for pharmacist’s classes. In addition to these tests, I have a research paper for Health care due 2 days after my 21st birthday. With all the attention to my course work, I will certainly find time to enjoy my birthday. I have tickets for the red Sox that night, so I should have an enjoyable time with my girlfriend Sarah.

My classes have definitely kept me busy this summer, but I have found time to play a little golf on the side. I played in an ALS golf tournament with my friends this past Friday, which was a lot of fun. I was able to relax this weekend and prepare for the next few weeks of tests. In two short months, I will be back on co-op with no studying, or papers. I hope to work in an independent pharmacy in Boston.

As for now, I am working 40 hours this week in addition to my four classes and lab. I just finished my pharmaceutics lab (it only lasts half of the summer), which is a relief. I cannot wait for this string of tests to be over, and I go to Cape Cod for a little three day weekend July 17th with Sarah.
