Xbox 360 - the eternal strugle for free time


So you may have seen the recent commercials announcing that the Xbox 360 has dropped in price to $199. Well me and Sarah had a coupon that would give us 10% of a day of shopping at Target, add that to my employee discount of 10% and the fact that Target had a deal where you got a $25 gift certificate if you bought an Xbox 360 and we could get one for $145+tax. Sarah being the awesome wife that she is decide to take me to get one randomly. Here are some screen shots of games that I have and games that I want.



The Xbox 360 may be the best and worst thing that has happened to me a in a long time. I love the stupid thing. We got Fable 2 and it is so much fun. Now the only problem is striking the balance of playing the Xbox and studying for school. Man do I wish I could graduate.

Not to mention next semester is when I finally get into the meat and potatoes of pharmacy school. I started Organic Medicinal Chemisrty, the study of how drugs do what they do, my first semester. I started Pathophysiology, the study of diseases, last semester. Then I started Pharmacology, the study of what drugs do in your body, this semseter. Now next semester I start Therapeutics, the study of what drugs should be used on different diseases. These classes never end once started. I have Pathophysiology, Pharmacology, Therapeutics and Organic Medicinal Chemisrty all the way through the end of my third year now. This is when things start to get tricky, because those are just the core classes. Not to mention I have electives and other less important classes on top of those. Next semester I have 18 credit hours but just to give you some perspective, when you get into graduate school full time is now considered to be 8 credit hours insteas of 12 and 12 credit hours is a full course load instead of 18 because of the increased level of difficulty in the classes.

Lets all hope I can survive.

  3. Wow! What a man... I couldn't even do your simple electives, let alone all those high tech. classess. You could loan the XBox out weekly (like checking things out at the library). :O)
