My name is Brandon.

I am a senior Prepharmacy/Microbiology major at Texas Tech University. I will start applying for Pharmacy school this semester for the Fall 2004 semester. At the moment my life (as well as all of my free time) is consumed by my classes [cell biology, biological chemistry, genetics and epidemiology]. When I am not studying, you can often find me working as pharmacy technician in the inpatient pharmacy at one of the hospitals here. This diary is for sanity maintenance.

I am a nerd to the core and nothing fascinates me more than learning about pharmacology! I was the kindergardener who wanted to grow up to be a scientist. I was the sixth grader who wanted to teach myself chemistry so I could figure out how drugs worked. I am the college student who wants to specialize in infectious disease pharmacy.

It’s been an achingly long time since I have written an entry here. I miss this place, but this final year of pharmacy school has proven much too demanding for the little pleasures in life it seems. I still lurk on occasion, but it’s so very inadequate to truly keep pace with the live...

    Music: “Yes & No,” by Venus Hum (I love this song and the band’s name – though at the moment I can’t recall what a venous hum upon auscultation of a patient indicates) TV: The local news anchorwoman seems to be wearing something between a dominatrix outfit and a marching band uniform.

    Oddly enough, I've had less time to play around with OD this summer that I expected. An update of sorts is long overdue. The past semester of pharmacy school was nigh-overwhelming. It's not so much the classes in and of themselves, it is more the endless professional organizations. That in combin...

    It has really been ages since I wrote in here. Although I may not have kept up with OD very well, I have missed you guys. My life has been such a whirlwind the past year-and-a-half that I am not sure where to begin with this update. I am not sure that I can fully…

    Just a little quick note to let everyone know that I am still alive.I wish I had time to go beyond that, but I have 12 lectures of Principles of Drug Action to cover for the exam on Tuesday. Not to mention 10 lectures and 7 chapters to read for Human Physiology, just to get…

    I've been so terrible about updating this diary. I miss it. It's official, school has avariciously devoured my life. Who knew that taking twenty-two credit hours of graduate-level classes would be this time-consuming? Unlike many medical schools, in pharmacy school there are no block exams w...

    Thanks to everyone for your kind notes, I appreciate them and I'm feeling in better spirits. The funeral will likely be tomorrow. There will always be a special place for Friend in my heart. On another sad note, Kirby (Robyn's Poo-huahua) is gone. Her boyfriend's brother (the Asshole-Cuntface) de...

    I am finally taking the time to sit down and write and entry, but unfortunately it's not going to contain anything about which I had been meaning to write. That has suddenly become rancorously trite. I remember a couple of weeks ago right before the series finale of Angel, still upset over the de...

    Thank God that it's all over.School is out and I am still waiting on grades to come in, but I think it is very likely that I made a 4.0 this semester, in spite of working the graveyard shift full-time.My sister, Shannon, had her biopsy and the results are in. It was little more than…

    The rain has been continously saturating the dry west Texas earth long before I woke up at six o' clock this morning. Never a downpour, yet the eternally parched ground has a low threshold for moisture. I was much too busy trying to cement knowledge of the citric acid cycle and electron transport...
