So, I know I haven't been blogging much lately...like really much, much lately, but WELCOME BACK TO SCHOOL Y'ALL!  I know that for the most part going back to school is not the most exciting thing, but there are lots of good things to look forward to about going back.  I've sorely missed my friends, the city of Cola, and GAMECOCK FOOTBALL to say the least.  The last thing on my mind is studying for tests, although I know I'll have to get rolling on that school-studying-zone, but I'm enjoying that feeling of moving back in and gettting back to the groove of things around here in Columbia.

It's been pretty busy for me lately though.  While others are still trying to sort out furnitures in their dorms and apartments, I have been getting "orientated."  Just like the new incoming USC freshmen of the Class of 2012, my fellow P-1 Pharmacy first year students of the Class of 2012 and I had our orientation these past two days and had our official White Coat Ceremony.

As for y'all avid readers of mine know (and to inform you new readers), I am now entering pharmacy school with 2 years of USC undergraduate studies under my belt.  I have worked hard to get the grades and get the application and interview to Pharmacy school, and now I am really officially a "graduate" student of the South Carolina College of Pharmacy - USC Campus!!!  My friends are making fun of me because with the additional 4 years of pharmacy school, I am just like all of the new incoming freshmen this year.  I will be graduating the same time as them!  I don't mind the extra 2 years that much though, as I will be getting a Pharm.D. by then! 

So, just to get started back up again...Y'all know how much I love taking pictures and sharing them.  So, here are some pictures from my White Coat Ceremony.

This is me with one of my best friends in the Pharmacy school.  Meet Anthony. He and I were being goofy in front of the Koger Center where the ceremony was held.

This is Anthony and I again, but this time with another one of our colleagues.  This is us prior to our white coats!  Meet Jennifer... 

That's me towards the middle during our official USC Campus Class of 2012 group picture.  There is a total of 110 of us students in the USC Campus with an additional 80 students in the MUSC Campus.  Together...do the math and there are 190 of us in the South Carolina College of Pharmacy Class of 2012!!!

This is my friends and I again, but this time with our white coats.  Don't we just look very official now?  We will be your future pharmacists!

Of course, my boyfriend Shawn came for moral support!

And of course, my parents...Don't they just look so proud of me!  I was very excited that they were able to take time out of their work to come see me for the ceremony!

Well, guys!  This will be it for now.  Rest assured, I will be blogging more often.   Look forward to some new posts about my new place, my reunions with friends, and my fresh new start in the College of Pharmacy!  I hope y'all are off to a great start...again Welcome Back to School ladies and gents!

Catch y'all later on the flipside, Gamecocks!
