• ok so the finkin red sox won.  one of my two whole friends is an A’s fan and she was very upset…but I reassured her that the yankees will take care of the red sox for her.  i hate being here while the yankees are in the playoffs…cuz when we WIN…I won’t be there for the ticket-tape parade.  In HS, when the Yankees won, the teachers would pretty much expect half the class to be gone, cuz everyone would be down by city hall, getting the life squished out of them.  But aaaaah…such good times.

  
  

  Anyway, as soon as i walked into school i heard kids talking about last nights game.  For those of you who didn’t watch, the red sox beat the A’s by 1 run…and that last inning was close…it could’ve easily been a tied game.  I loved how the Red Sox started popping the bubbly after winning the FIRST series in the playoffs…mebbe cuz they know they won’t win anymore.. AAAAAAAAW YEAH.  But the kids here kept saying, “oh last night, the red sox CRUSHED the A’s…they were so good that they CRUSHED them.”  And I’m like…they BARELY won…they had to struggle to keep that one run lead…that is NOT “crushing” your opponent.  finkin losers.  What the Yankees will do to the red sox will show these kids what CRUSHING really means. MUAHAHAHAHA. MUAHAHAHAHA. I love trash talking….

  
  

  i gotta go my laundry..my derek jeter shirt is in the dirty hamper.  i love derek jeter.

  
  

  

  
  

  

  
  

  So this is me and my two whole friends at our White Coat ceremony…which is where we get our official white coats (duh) and get inducted into the prefessional pharmacy world…ooooh.  But it’s messed up cuz they gave us forms telling us to put down what size coats we want.  so i circled SMALL.  and i get my coat and it says 38R…so i’m like oh, it’s in european sizes.  then i try it on and it’s sooo huge.  so i thought everyone else’s was like that. nope, turns out my two friends both got Small…the people who get numbered sizes are GUYS…they gave me a GUYS SMALL.  Which is like equivalent to a women’s LARGE.  It’s sooo big.  (look at where my lower pockets start compared with my friends’…we’re all approx the same height)  our jackets should be around hip length cuz we’re only interns right now…and after we graduate, we get the knee length jackets.  MINE is almost knee length…and the SLEEVES are half a foot too long.

  
  

  So i tell the prof. that they screwed up my order…and then he gives me attitude…telling me that it’s a free coat and that i should just take it.  or i could take it off and give it back and go to the ceremony without it.  And how some people got a guy’s medium.  I’m like, HOLD UP…you all MESSED UP…(like they kept emphasizing how important it was for us to fill out the size forms)…and you give me ATTITUDE.  and PLEASE…do not give me that “it’s free” speech…it ain’t free…we paid for it…it’s called $22,000 tuition.  AND we actually have to WEAR the coats all the time….for lab…when we intern at hospitals…when we do our rotation…we have to wear the white coats with our pins and everything all the time, so it’s preferable that you get one that fits right.  PLUS, it’s not even SAFE for me to be working around chemicals and fires and stuff with a jacket thats totally loose and flapping around…I was PISSED.  So now I have to go a BUY one that actually fits.  freakin A
