Summer

Hi, summer is underway. I am working at Hyvee as a pharm tech and I really enjoy it. I don't, however, get as many hours as I want. I only have two 8 hour days a week during June and no hours for the rest of May. Hopefully I get more hours when people call in sick and such. I am going to work with my dad on the days I don't work at Hyvee. They don't need me today, so I'm helping my mom and baking rhubarb crisp for supper.

Yesterday, we went to the bookstore and I got two books to read...for fun! I haven't read for fun in a while. I got Atonement by Ian McEwan and Cannery Row by Steinbeck. I read Of Mice and Men earlier this year and loved it. I hope Cannery Row is just as good. I read East of Eden in high school, but I liked Of Mice and Men better. I want to read a lot this summer.

I just started a calculus class at the community college yesterday. I have to take calculus in order to apply for pharmacy school. I don't think it will be too difficult. I just need to make myself do the homework every night. I also need to start studying for the PCAT soon. It's hard to get going again and for a test so far away (it will come up fast though).

My running is getting off to a slow start. I red-shirted the outdoor season, because I was feeling under the weather since the first of the year. I just needed a break, because I absolutely dreaded running. I had never hated it so much in my life. I was going into races with a bad attitude and getting corresponding results. I think it's for the best. I have been enjoying running more lately, but it's still hard to get out the door. I need to just cowboy up and run everyday.

Belle, our dog, keeps running out of our yard (over the invisible fence) and running away. We are getting a leash so she doesn't get hit by a car.
