$0.61 in my bank account :(

yesterday, i walked to the cambie safeway (i was on oak) with the intention of buying an august bus pass. When it was my turn to check out, i realized i might now have enough money to pay. So i told the cashier that i would pay $14 in cash and the rest debt. The remaining amount owe after deducting the $14 was $61.45.
Long story short, i couldn't get my bus pass there and then and that was when i realized how i don't have that much money :(
i'm getting my pay check tomorrow but just thinking about not having money makes me sad.
I also lost 200 american. i probably misplaced it but i checked absolutely everywhere. Hopefully it will be like that time when i "lost" my ring...ann...remember.
I guess this means no more cheesy bread from now on :(
and i guess this means all your presents are coming from Daiso....ann.... :D

about the pharmacy and nursing thing...
they are both 4 year program if you want a degree in nursing, that is.
you can also choose to do a 2 year program at vcc to become an lpn.

I was actually thinking about nursing as a back up plan, but i get sick easily which make hospitals not my friend.

be a pharmacist just to make money. in the beginning, i was naive to think that i wanted to be a pharmacist so that i can help people. the reality of it is that you don't really impact patients lives...or at least very few of them. the duty of a pharmacist is just ensure that patients are taking medication that will not be harmful to their bodies. frankly, pharmacists work in the back to make everything work and that's all you do. the money shows for their importance.

i'm still undecided on my career path....
surprisingly, although pharmacy seems to be ingrained on my 5 finger forehead...i have my own doubts....not whether or not i'll be a good pharmacist but just on whether i want to be that.
The money is really good though...
so if i did pursue it, it would be for the money which can be spent on things that could help the less fortunate...but not because i absolutely LOVE pharmacy.

so that's my take on it...
i had a busy day at work. the pharm tech who had been working there for 3 years left for vacation so it's up to me who has been working there for 2 weeks and this other person who doesn't really do much....hm...
i'm not stressed or anything...it's actually the opposite. i enjoy having responsibilities and being important...but my leg hurts nonetheless. i have to take it easy...or else my bp will rise...and i have a machine to monitor it too :(
