That back door...
Direct me to it, please?
Well, my hopes were dashed. Looks like I didn't get a residency like I'd hoped. Maybe "dashed" is too strong of a word. I'm not actually sad about NOT having to work super hard for pennies for a year, but I did put a lot of time and effort (and money!) into all those apps and interviews. Now it all just feels like a big fat waste of time. And I would have enjoyed the opportunity to learn lots more.
So I consoled myself by picking up the Twilight Barbies and the Princess and the Frog off of Amazon. XD
But in all seriousness, I feel incredibly directionless now. I had put most of my hopes into getting a residency, and now I'm not really sure what to do. I'm afraid of retail pharmacy - it's incredibly soul-sucking and tiring - but most hospitals don't actually hire that many pharmacists. So I kind of see myself just falling into a retail position by default. Which makes me sad. I should really look up the contact info for some of my pharmacist friends and see if they can't hook me up with some sort of hospital job.
But on a more fun note, I just finished my fifth rotation last week, and they gave me $125 work of gift cards at the end! I was in complete and total shock. And touched, too. I'm going to miss that pharmacy and its crazy antics. One of the cards was for the the theater, so I'm definitely going to go catch How to Train Your Dragon this week. Must support animation in the theaters!

After your interviews at the various sites you apply to, each site ranks their interviewees, and we rank the sites we talked with as well through a Matching Service. If you want them, and they want you, then you "match," and get a residency for the next year.
So yeah, I could try again next year, but at this point I'm not really sure I'll want to anymore.

But I was excited to see that you made "Of Land and Sea" available to get!
