- I hate vanilla scented items. Not vanilla itself but that fake scent that is everywhere these days. Perfumes, candles, etc. It all goes back to a roommate in college my sophomore year who showered often but didn't wash her clothes & sheets but once a month and re-wore well everything from the bottom up. She also wore vanilla perfume and lots of it. I started associating her other "smell" with vanilla and it went downhill from there. It got so bad my other roommate started spraying roommate #1's bed with febreeze while she was out. I now love febreeze.
- I really am a geek. I try to hide that fact but all signs point to yes. Not only am I computer programmer (or at least I was) I also enjoy sci-fi tv shows and movies. I've watched the entire series of X-Files, Stargate SG-1, and Star Trek TNG, DS-9, and Voyager. I think I've seen most of Enterprise as well. However, I do absolutely hate the original Star Trek series so please don't make me watch it.
- I've read the Harry Potter series probably at least 10 times. When the books were coming out I would re-read the preceding books before the new one came out so I could start the new one where the old left off. This means I've read the older ones more than 10 times but the newest only 3. In my previous post I said I re-read books and I probably re-read these more than any others. I especially enjoy looking for the foreshadowing Rowling puts in, now that I know the whole story. Whenever I come across that I feel like I have an "A ha" moment. (I hope foreshadowing is the right term. I really didn't like English or Literature in school.)
- I bruise like a peach. My legs in particular. Sometimes I'll hurt myself and know it'll leave a mark and other times I wake up with a new bruise and wonder where in the world it came from. I secretly think Graham beats me at night.
- Graham and I both talk in our sleep. We get great enjoyment out of the awake one talking with the sleeping one and sometimes the conversations are quite hilarious. I wonder if we ever talk in our sleep to each other?
- I enjoy cleaning and laundry. I don't just enjoy the effects of cleaning, I enjoy the process. To me there is nothing more satisfying that working your way through a dirty room seeing it get cleaner in the process. Since having Greta I don't get a chance to do this as often and I keep telling Graham I want a cleaning service. He tells me it wouldn't work because they wouldn't clean it the way I wanted it so I would just end up redoing it anyway.
- If I ever have a mid-life crisis or time on my hands to do something, I'm gonna go back to school and become a pharmacist. I didn't take chemistry until I was too far into my CS degree to switch and not loose massive amounts of credits but had I known how much I love it, I would probably have majored in Pre-Pharm. I enjoy almost anything medically related but didn't want to be a nurse, PT, or OT (all careers I considered). I think a pharmacist would be the right fit for me. And if I did become a pharmacist I'd want to work at a hospital where they do more mixing of medicine and not just dispensing. When I volunteered at the hospital in Winder it was so cool to watch and help the guy who mixed IV bags and such.

What is up with Pharmacy???? I've run into 3 people in 4 days who are studying, planning, or wishing to be pharmacists. Is this some trend that I've been missing. One is the mom of a friend. Her husband died and she now needs to provide her own health insurance & the like, so she took some online courses to become a pharmacy tech. Only a few months worth of courses for that, plus some externship hours at a hospital & a retail pharmacy. I bumped into a former student who is studying pre-pharmacy at Gainesville. So, after you get a pre-pharm degree, where do you finish up? Is it a doctorate or some such thing?
Well I've had the desire to be a pharmacist since 2000 so it's not recent for me. I think you finish up at a medical school and you can get a doctorate although I'm not sure if that's required. I really haven't seriously looked into it. More of a pipe dream. :-)
It pays really well...maybe that's the draw.
If I ever went back to school, I think I would do pharmacy, too.
Oh, it is an all in one shot degree now and you end up with a doctorate. If you start at the beginning of college- it is 5 yrs for all of it and you get a doctorate instead of an undergrad.
