The Golden City

you danced, you drank
you laughed, you cried
you went to work and said goodbye
I've lived , I learnt
stayed up all night
I'll see you when the time is right again

Today

Today was really good day. Good things happened today.

I woke up at roughly 11:40 and had to be at the hospital to do more pharmacy shadowing by 12:30. Naturally, because I had nearly an hour to do everything I needed to prepare myself, I did not eat. I would realize later that this was unwise. As the time drew near and I was putting on my shirt to head out my aunt and grandma walked into my kitchen (Granny lives with me. Aunt Jackie was just visiting) Granny handed me and envelope that had come for me from the Campbell University School of Pharmacy. There was a letter inside that told me I had been accepted to a really awesome program at school. I will not bore you with the complete details, but i was pumped about it. I called my mom and informed her, at which point she began to cry....presumably in front of her entire office. So that was pretty crazy. I left home after that and went off to the Wayne Memorial Hospital Pharmacy. I was able to assist in the IV Room by handing the technician bottles and syringes and stuff. I found out  afterwords that the chemo drugs we were preparing cost around $17,000. At about 4:30 post meridian, I ate my first meal of the day while still wearing a grin due to the news I had received earlier. I closed out my day by broin down with the evening shift pharmacists (generally language gets more "adult" later into the evening) and headin over to Quiznos for my second meal of the day and also in a 2 hour span. After I got home I had to load up a bunch of lumber into my truck for Mallory Peacock to burn at her bonfire. While doing this the only bad part of today presented itself as a nail penetrated my shoe, shock, and a small amount of my right foot. I'm hoping I won't lose the foot, but I wont really know what's goin on until I see it in the light tomorrow morning. I'll keep you posted. After skewering my foot I left for Mallory's bonfire with a truck load of wood. The bonfire was definitely cool. I got to see a bunch of old Goldsboro friends and both the Shadoe and Aycock friend groups were represented. I may note, it was not awkward with any friends I hadn't seen in a while; however, I have determined that with the truest of friends you are able to pick right back up. For example, it feels like I have seen Zara Shaw every weekend since I've moved. We hardly ever talk when I am away, but I believe that we thoroughly enjoy each others company when we get lucky and are together. Zara Shaw is really good people guys....just sayin. 

Post - Fire 

The events the followed the fire are best described in quick, choppy sentences that may even be confusing. Like: Sonic. Throwing rocks at Shadoe('s nuts?). Hey Jessica! Krispy Kreme kinda. Grape Cigarillos. Peesh had a dank ass coat. Jessica kicks Drake('s balls?). Marshmallow fight. Cops...bye.     That said, it was a really really fun night. It was one of those nights that makes you appreciate this town that we all left so eagerly. I am hopeful that there will be more nights like that over this winter break.

I have no plans at the moment for the Eve of the New Year. I would love to be able to hang with any combination of my friends here in Goldsboro and I don't really care where I end up. So, if anything develops.....I doubt anyone is gonna read this and let me in on new year plans because of it. So. Disregard
