Happy Halloween!

It all started with Boss' Day. We gave my boss some balloons and tied them to the back of her chair. We were all laughing at how funny it looked and then I realized that she looked like a character from Mario Kart with the balloons following her where ever she went. Thus, our holloween idea was created! So, it started with cardboard computer boxes. We all got one and started on our karts. This is what I came up with at first. The funny part was that I built this kart while I was sitting inside of it!

Then I decided that my kart needed to be more vicious, so I added the spikes on the bottom. We all had alot of fun making our karts and we got pretty creative with them! Olivia, my co-worker made a fish kart, with big fish eyes and fins. Brian made the COOLEST bowser costume and a really awesome kart! He is going to be an engineer so his is really really awesome. I'm sure if it were made of more sturdy material it would actually fly! Rex... wasn't as enthused about Halloween and making his kart spectacular. So, we call his "The Invisable Kart." boss is the game controller aka "The Wii Mote!"

I took my kart home and spray painted it green, to match my Luigi costume. Then I found an AWESOME mustache at The Halloween Store. It is so funny looking! Dan let me borrow some overalls (which I don't know how he fits in them because they are really tight on my bottom!) and then I went and bought a green shirt and a hat. You can see in the background of this picture how we cut and colored all of the turtle shells and banana peels and put them all around the office. I even made a stop light and some flags!


We really had alot of fun with Halloween and this is THE MOST I have ever gotten into Halloween. (It probably wont happen again!!) I am kind of excited for tonight though because I am just going to stay at home and pass out candy to trick or treaters. I know that probably sounds boring to some of you, but, growing up in Plain City we didn't get alot of trick or treaters. I am excited to see all the cute little kids! Anyway, Happy Halloween everyone!!!!

Happy Halloween!!!

My First Pharmacy Math Test

So last night I took my first test for pharmacy math. I must admit, I feel the test was a little unfair. It was supposed to be really easy.... The test was on chapters 1 and 2 from my Dosage Calculations text book. I got the test from the teacher and sat down to take it, and the FIRST 4 questions were NOT IN THE BOOK. None of the homework had anything to do with those first 4 questions. I flipped my test over and told the teacher that I thought I skipped a section in my book. So I started looking for the section and it was nowhere. Not only was it NOT in chapter 1 and 2, it was nowhere in the WHOLE BOOK. So, needless to say, getting caught off gaurd totally messed my brain up for the rest of the test. I was almost in tears, thinking "I can't fail math again.. especially this EASY math." I guessed on the first 4 questions and then went on to finish the test. I got stuck at the very end of the test because I got confused on a little detail. I brought my test up to the teacher to grade, and explained to her that the first 4 questions were not in the book so I didn't know I needed to learn them. She skipped those and graded the rest of my test. I am proud to say that besides those first 4, I ONLY MISSED ONE PROBLEM, and that was the very last one. So I WOULD HAVE HAD 98 percent...... BUT..... the teachers decided that they would VERY QUICKLY teach me the concepts of the other problems and have me redo them....right there.... at her desk.... with her staring at me.... and with people waiting in the line for her help.... again, needless to say, I missed 3 out of the 4 questions. SO....... I got an 87%. I passed... which is all that matters, I guess.... So, now I am on to metric conversions. AND... this time I didn't almost kill anyone on my way home from school! Go me!

I Almost Sealed The Deal

So last night was the worst experience in my life this far. I was driving home from school. I turned off 1900 W onto Riverdale Road. It was really dark and there weren't many cars out. There were 2 construction trucks on the side of the rode with their hazard lights on but I didn't see any people around. ALL OF THE SUDDEN there was a guy lying in the middle of the road, in the fetal position on his side. I swerved to miss him but I wasn't sure if I did it in time. Then I heard and felt something scraping under my car so I pulled over. By now I was freaking out, thinking that I had just killed this guy that was in the road. I looked under my car and there was a road cone stuck under it. I looked back at the body in the road and just started sobbing. I wasn't sure if I hit him and the cone, or just the cone, or what. I didn't know if that guy was dead or what was happening. I started to hyperventalate. I called my sister in law because I didn't know what to do. Honestly, I can't remember what she told me to do because I was freaking out too much. After I got off the phone, I walked over to the scene and by then an ambulence and a million cop cars were there. Another lady who had stopped saw me and tried to calm me down. She brought me to an officer and he had me sit in his car while I tried to stop crying. I told him what happened and that I didn't know if I hit him and that I just needed to know if he was dead or if he was okay. I finally stopped crying and I walked over to the scene. The guy was on his back. I could see that he was breathing but he was not conscious. His clothes had been cut off and he had a broken leg. They were just moving him onto the stretcher. 40 minutes had gone by, by now and I was freezing from being outside. I just wanted to go home. I asked a few times if I could go and they just kept telling me to stay for a little longer. Finally, they let me leave. I went to my car and just started crying again. I was so scared to start driving again so I just sat there for a while. Finally I turned my hazards off and pulled away. I was so disoriented and I couldn't even remember how to drive properly. I finally made it to Dan's house because it was closer to where I was than my own house. He helped to calm me down alot. When it came time for me to go home though, I got scared again. While driving, I kept seeing things jumping out from the side of the road. The whole night made me really put things into a new perspective. If I had been distracted at all, or going too fast, that guy would probably be dead. I would have run over him full on, his head under my left tire and his body under my right tire. I swerved just in time, but still was probably only 5 inches away from hitting him. If I hadn't been there, who knows if the person behind me would have seen him in time. Last night, I saw the worst thing I have ever seen in my life.

What actually happened was there was a construction worker pulled over to the side of the road with his hazard lights on (one of the truck I saw). He had gotten out of his truck to lay road cones down (the road cone I hit). While he was laying out the cone, a guy drove up the street in his truck. He didn't see the construction worker and accidentally hit him (that's why there was a guy in the road). The kid who hit him had pulled over to the side of the road (the other truck I saw) and was probably calling 911. That's about the time when I came into the picture. I was the first person to drive past after the accident. I hope the guy is okay.

Happy Birthday To Me!!!!!!

So, today at work I was just sittin there being bored with all of the sudden I had a bunch of people in front of my desk with these flowers saying that they were for me! I thought they were crazy because I have never been given flowers before. But, sure enough, they had my name on them! Turns out they were from Dan (surprise, surprise!!!). He got a little mad when he found out that I got them today (my birthday isn't until tomorrow) but I was soooo happy to get them! Now I can enjoy them ALL day on my birthday! Happy birthday to me, and thanks Dan! You're the best!
