I am so excited to get back to Lexington this weekend! Jonathan came up to Indianapolis last weekend, but we didn't get to hang out nearly as much as we wanted (had a lot of "real life" things to take care of). We did get to go to the Indianapolis Children's Museum on Sunday, and that was really a lot of fun... yes, I have the mentality of a four-year-old.
But anyway... Lexington. I have to admit, I'm really going to miss that city when I move to Indianapolis next year. (Does it really count as a city? Maybe a town?) I've been a Lexingtonian for the past 7 years of my life (geez I'm old), and it has definitely grown on me. As for THIS weekend, all I really want to do is relax and spend some time eating some yummy food with Jon. We're going to watch the UFC fight between Rampage and Rashad at B-Dubs on Saturday, but other than that, I will definitely be relaxing (welllll... I may force myself to go shoe shopping).
Rotation Update
What's new with the Lilly rotation? Well... over the past 3 weeks, not only have I been trying to get acquainted with the ins and outs of the pharmaceutical industry, but I've been working on a big(ish) project. So what's my topic? "Healthcare Reform and Medicaid: Finding Direction in a Changing Environment." It's definitely been a learning curve, to say the least. I like to try to stay up to date on current events, but let's be honest... between pharmacy school, MBA classes, work, and my quasi-addiction to gym time, when do I have the time to curl up with a few thousand pages of reform? (Sounds like so much fun, right?) Anyway... I basically looked at the changes to Medicaid that are most relevant to the pharmaceutical industry, Medicaid payers, and Medicaid patients. From those changes, and from what I believed the reactions of states and managed Medicaid would be, I tried to create some important "areas of interest" for Lilly to look into as they try to adapt to the changing environment. Doesn't sound like much, I guess, but between meetings, trying not to get lost, and making sure I catch the parking shuttle... it's had me working pretty hard these past few weeks. The final drafts of my paper (8 pages single spaced with 8 appendices, thank you very much), my presentation, and my executive summary (Who knew that once you get in the real world you get Cliffs Notes for things? Sure would have been nice in therapeutics the past few years.) are due today and I'm pretty sure I'm rocking it out. Well, at least as much rocking out as can be done by a newbie who has been exposed to it for three weeks. My presentation is Tuesday morning... wish me luck!!!!
This Week's Advice for the Gym:
Don't wear fitted hats to the gym if you want to be taken seriously.
Don't try have a conversation with the girl with lifting gloves who is benching more than you. She's not there to socialize.
Don't make up crazy exercises that you think make you look "hardcore." They don't. Most people who know what they're doing are worried you're going to hurt yourself or someone else.
Please bathe at least once in the past couple of days. Please. Everyone gets a little funky if they're working out hard enough, but when you progress to "doodoo butter" levels, it's time to find the soap.
If you're doing multiple sets on a machine/free weight and someone else needs to use it, please let them work in sets. You'd appreciate the same courtesy.
