My busy weekend

This weekend was actually one of the busiest in a while.  It wasn’t busy studying wise, there was just a lot to do.  There were events lined up back to back.  It started with Phi Delta Chi’s annual Luau on Thursday night.  I was hesitant to go because I didn’t know what to expect.  I thought Elevate was in Hollywood, so I really didn’t want to drive all the way over there and have to deal with mad traffic.  I also didn’t want to disappoint my littles so I decided to go with Amy, who happened to offer to drive Doris and I.  It only took 3 drinks to make me into an affectionate drunken dancer. 
  


Then Friday rolled around.  I had promised Phuong and Hadley that I would go to Rage with them in WEHO.  I was looking forward to the event but reluctant at the same time.  The last time I had been at Rage was for Hadley’s birthday back in early October.  I had been away for so long, I didn’t know what to expect either.  It was a good thing though that there were so many familiar faces.  Most of our peeps were there.  It was so cute that Paul came down from Norcal to surprise Henry.

 

On Saturday morning I had a health fair at an Elementary School in Monterey Park.  Before the health fair, there was a Runathon put on by a 2 of our USC Pharmacy organizations (5K Run/walk fundraiser).  After the Runathon, a lot of the participants strolled over to the Health fair and we were able to give them a lot of information about sunscreens and skin cancer.  I left early for my Rho Chi initiation banquet to honor our induction into the prestigious society.  The top 20% of the class get invited.  Your invitation is based on 1.5 semesters of classwork.  It was held at Roy’s in Pasadena.  I hear the place is actually really expensive.  I’m glad I was able to taste all of the amazing food for free complements of the organization.





On Sunday, I woke up at 5:30am for IV rotations at LAC+USC Hospital.  After working for 4 hours, I left at about 11am and I went straight to another health fair.  This one was in Alhambra at the YMCA center.  I stayed until 2 pm.  This one was a lot busier than yesterday.  The only problem I had with this healthfair was that it was outside; it was extremely windy and sunny.  How ironic that the skin cancer/sunscreen booth was located in direct sunlight.
