Why I want to do pharm sales. an essay.

Yesterday was a moody one after I figured out that I couldn't log into my univerity's career website that would allow me to apply for a career workshop I REALLY want to do.

• the deadline was yesterday, so this inability to log in meant I would not be able to apply.
• Last year I wasn't eligible (by .02 GPA point lack). (this statement is to show you I have invested a lot of time wanting to be in this class, even longer wanting to do this type of career.) (and this workshop is part of the reason I worked so hard tom improve my GPA last semester!)
• The reason I waited so long was due to having to write a 250 word essay describing why I wanted to learn more about Pharmecutical Sales, the topic of the workshop. I finally wrote it a few days ago on paper and just needed to type,edit, and submit it. My GPA is still on the line.. so I feel that puts more importance on this essay and I wanted it to be good.

Apparently though, I was trying to log in on the employers.. not the students page. I logged in today, partially just to really confirm to myself that I had missed the deadline and was an idiot.

today is awesome because:

• they extended the deadline
• I just finished editing the essay and it is better than I thought it would be!

What do you think?

At the marketing roundtables I talked to an Eli Lilly pharmaceutical representative named Koby and asked him about a green and white lapel pin he was wearing. As he explained Pain Awareness Month, I could tell he cared about more than just ‘pushing the product.’

Marina is a twenty-something Californian and Youtuber (ysabellabrave) suffering from Fibromyalgia. I had watched many of her videos and enjoyed her singing classic songs that are usually only found on vinyl, insightful anecdotes, and her faith in God and humanity.

One day she spoke about her fibromyalgia. I had already admired her ability to always be positive and smiling, and it increased tenfold after I learned of her constant suffering. It inspired me to learn more about the disease. I am always excited to see when she updates us on her ‘good days’, especially when she received disability, as pain disease sufferers are often misunderstood and given little assistance.

Although it is an unconventional way to be aware of an issue, I have found that Youtube has a way of making the world smaller, and also allows me to educate myself on many deserving issues I would not otherwise encounter.

I want to find a career where I can be professional and competitive and be able to impact the lives of people like Marina who deserve to be healthy, happy, and correctly diagnosed. I think the Eli Lilly Pharmaceutical class would be a great opportunity for me to learn how to better accomplish that goal.

Love, luck, and career workshops galore ,

Devouring Information. Part I:realizing who i can learn from

I have so many friends who know so much. I want to make more of an effort to steal this information from their brains. Like a zombie. a knowledge zombie.

From Angela: I can learn about thai language, culture, and politics. About politics in general. about lots of things smart people just seem to acquire so much easier than me. about how to acquire that information.

From Ben: I can learn about Spanish, South American, soil, farmer's markets, vegetables, and how to spend far too much time at Signs of Life.

I can learn about Religion and random bible verses and stories from Jono and KT walsh and from courtney who was in my management class and manages to smile and give her entire attention to the person she is speaking to.

I can learn about music from Trent and Jono

I can learn about nerd-dom from Jono as well! and computery things of awesome.

and from Trent I can learn also learn about gluten free bakeries.

From Craig I can learn about marketing.

From my mom I can learn how to be perfect, get people to tell you their life stories, be an expert at cameras, and stay optimistic.

From April I can learn recipes, driving directions and my entire family tree.

From Becky I can learn how to appreciate people, how to be more creative, how to kinda-like a dog, and how to view things from another's perspective and be able to portray that. also journalism.

And from Andrew I can learn about Japanese culture, random crazy news, zombies, mafia wars, how to care about someone, how to take a compliment, how to be a girlfriend. and how to kiss.

There are so many people I can learn from and this list doesn't even begin to cover them all. People have their interests for a reason. they are interesting. I want to help these people share that information. because I want to share my knowledge. I'm not exactly sure what people see me as specializing in via knowledge. hopefully marketing, trying to stay positive, and maybe I've picked up a few other things along the way.

also. i will be adding to this list as I think of more things. wanna teach me something?

Love and lifelong learning,
J

22nd birthday. part 1.

I came home last night around 11:30 to Brenna (Roommate) putting a small brown paper bag with a ribbon around it in the fridge. The cute little tag said my name on it.
My roommates are adorable.
The other card, tied on my door, told me to look in the fridge.

Went upstairs and got a facebook message from another roommate of the brothel (where I live J), Scott who lleft about a week ago to recover/quarantine himself from the flu.

"i'm coming back tomorrow and COUGHING IN YOUR WIIIINNNEEEE!!!
HAPPY EARLY BDAY!!! "

The wine is in reference to tonight’s festivities., see below

This morning I woke up to a happy birthday from Andrew before he went to class. A text from Tiffany saying happy birthday as well.. and the beginnings of facebook notifying me of many many wall posts.

I got dressed cute. Eyes pretty with my new sephora makeup. Cute scarf left by becka I would never buy on my own. Black fitted shirt, jeans.

I went downstairs, opened the bag in the fridge from brenna found cheesecake and a super nice note. It may be cheap cheesecake from walmart… but it was so sweet. I barely know her and she did something nice and put effort into a cute little package for me to make me smile on my birthday.
I think her love languages are words and gifts.

A few weeks ago I found not only a desk by dumpster diving (note: it was a large apartment complex dumpster and all the stuff I took was in the parking lot next to the dumpster.)
I got a lot of clothes, washed it,
Today I took it to plato’s closet. Instead of taking the almost $40.. I got a BEBE dress, nice shirt, and pair of boots. And a dollar back!

I also went to Arizona trading, they only took the white castle shirt. $3 store credit spent toward a dress for Emily Pounds, to be reimbursed by Bob.

I also went to get my resume reviewed by the business career centers which brought in employers. I talked to Joe from McKesson and he helped out a lot. I have a list of things to fix on my resume and a few things to fix in my life so I can be better off at getting a job after I do that graduating thing.

I am in class. Then going to Jdel to pick up stuff with Andrew (because he’s going to work there!) and to hopefully ask a question about doing more sales or marketing… then… wine!

The monthly wine tasting at the i-bar on mass street just happens to fall on my birthday! The I stands for Ingredient, a restaurant it’s connected to.
My mom, sister, boyfriend, bop it, ben&sofie and a few other people I like a whole lot are coming. And there will be pie. Seriously, awesome.

How's life?

Life is lovely.

you?

awesome instruments. ha.
Love and de-loveliness,
J

ok - for those who actually read this as a life update. these are the important facts.

1. I'm living @ my sister's place for the rest of July and then moving into 1247 1/2 (house close to campus w/ strangers who all seem awesome!) in August
2. I have my 1st boyfriend! (as my sister puts it: guess who is a girlfriend??? my sister! )
3. I'm still working @JDel and loving it.
4. I'm taking a Psyc class over the summer @edwardscampus (and running into classmates @PowerAndLight.. that was weird! haha)
5. I twitter too much which causes me to overuse the @ sign.
6. Softball season w/ JDel is over - we lost. a lot. but I'm glad I did it. good memories were made. (It's a dude!! It's a chick!!)
7. Life is almost prefect right now. I need some more hours in the day and really should diversify with the people I'm hanging out with. I miss a lot of people from school (esp bop it!) and wish it was easier to hang out with everyone.
8. I am officially no longer in my sorority, also really wondering how I'm going to deal with that come rush time.. I'll miss the songs. (For pep and vitality and lots of fun! you can't beat the girls that you're among.) and the girls. and the general feeling of being a part of it.
9. I don't think I've ever had a summer this full of awesome. or this full of good music. I love the new musics I've been listening to. love the old records too. Billy Joel for the win.
10. people I want to hang out with more: Bop it, Krista M, michelle, danielle g, ben/sofie/dara,Angela (o wait.. cant do that. damnit!), nolly, crabaugh, jess A, AGD girls (some of them.. not all of them. ), chad, Q, a-team, family (esp tiff and sienna and I need to finally visit Avery and Mitchell!) , the lake (yes, I want to hang out with the lake. mmmm), kourtney, audrey, my only sister thats in town that i never seem to see!, rosyln, Andy/amos etc, etc etc.
11. my places are now updated. Room 916 isn't even on the list. C302 is added. and so is Moundview house(sisters place). and i can almost call 1247 1/2 a place.. just a few more wt wednesdays and it will be!'

Love at the deli?

scene:taking a to go order
What can I get you
French dip
uhm, is that a Po'boy, let me check - hey will? oh, that's a beefeater, okay
and a drink mumble mumble (didn't hear what kind of drink and then forgot to charge him for said drink)
7.07 please - on a card, allright, would you like a receipt? no, okay.


scene: a few minutes later, see sandwich, bag it up, hand it to him by the benches
Here's your french dip *big smile* have a nice day!
*leaves
*will holds up au jous.
oh man, I forgot the dip for the french dip! *grabs au jous and looks around outside for boy.. see him getting into his car.. fast walk/jog over*
excuse me, sorry I forgot the dip for your french dip! I just saw the sandwich was ready and forgot the dip! sorry!

scene: a few minutes later, me talking to emily and robin - trying to tell a story - *see boy coming back in the store*
'oh no, did I forget something else?'
*shyly* uhm, can I talk to you for a minute? *we walk over a bit from the register... I look over my shoulder at emily nervously* I think you're really cute and if you'd like you should call me sometime *hands me torn receipt with his name and number on it
*blushes
*leaves
emily: awww! *hugs me* Love at the Deli! you should call him
uhm, *trying to unsuccessfully change topic back to story I was telling* *blushes
rest of coworkers : yaaa you should call him! that's so cute!
robin : he looked kinda earthy and you seem down to earth, you should totally call him!
*more blushing*

Love phone numbers and french dip ,
J

BEDA 17

again, no time.

last night was awesome. bars, friends, boys, and jacuzzi. how much better can it get?
saw:
JA- jump on the bandwagon. thats not going anywhere. its a bandbox
JCr-
KP-


need to call
JCa
JA
TT

tonight : Kali's bday and/or angry telephone concert :)


gosh, what an articulate post! and yes, the sleeping was due to staying out late.. i didnt even get tipsy.. tho i may have acted it! too busy takin care of the bday girl :)



edit/ work was good, made an okay amount of tips - some of which i plan on spending tonight at the bars again!
im in a mood. what kind of mood i'm not sure. it was bad-ish earlier because my eyes were being allergic and i was just tired - but caffeine helped and now im feeling allright. about to go run with a guy i met at a party last year - oh the wonders of facebook statuses. might run a 5k sunday.

have a good night all. love the life you live.

and love the people you love. that sounds dumb, but really. let people know you appreciate them. I'm reading the 5 love languages book<< see sidebar. I've looked at the 5 love languages model a lot since my sister read the book a few years ago. .. its an awesome thing about how people absorb love in different ways. If their love language is touch, a hug could mean the world.. or if it isn't... it could just be a motion or an unwanted gesture. even if you would appreciate a hug, they might now.. idk.. I'll write more about it later.

BEDA13

Day started out with a missed class (really bad! i need to not miss that classss!!) then I proceeded to watch DVR because I cannot function in my house without breakfast (no milk) especially when my room is messy and I don't want to be in it.

note to self: clean room, pay for DVR.

Then around noon I finally got out - to find not only my ipod touch but also a holder so I can put a nike+ sensor on my regular un-nike+ shoe!

then signs to study/play with the touch and then work (an allright tipping night and even more in paycheck yess!)

My best discovery on the touch came about 10 hours after I got it - how to turn it off. I'm an idiot that it took so long! haha

any suggestions for some free apps I can get? I already got the kindle thing and downloaded some dumb books - so any free kindle suggestions would be great too!

hope your day is as boringly awesome as mine was! hopefully tomorrow will be more productive and possibly I'll think of something more blogworthy to talk about!

BEDA9th

Impulse buys. oh my. So I bid on something on ebay. I can afford it with my own money, and I want it... but I was hoping to find a better deal. oops. there goes most of my spring break paycheck I receive on monday! haha Let's just call it an easter present to myself.
edit////
Today I bought way too many things. I like things. I got a new job about 2 months ago and have more disposable income that I have ever had. So I have gone on a few small shopping sprees for myself. today was the biggest.

got this bible. The cashier man @signs said his daughter has this one and if she tries to talk to someone about christianity and they don't want to hear it - she can hit them with it, lovingly. (it's metal) uhm.. cool? I used to have this bible when I was first in high school and I loved it, highlighted it, etc. and I lost it.

but onto the big purchase! A touch!
I'm far too excited.
I can have apps!
and nike+sport!
and kindle!!!!!
got any app recommendations? (I don't plan on buying any or at least many. I want free :) )

I have never had an ipod that wasn't a shuffle! I had a first generation (I dropped it in the lake.) so I got a 2nd gen,and plan to continue using it or maybe lend it to mi madre so she can learn how to use an ipod. She doesn't want one, just wants to know how to use it.
this is my ipod shuffle case, it's on my keys and it opens bottles, what more could you ask for???? I has silver shuffle, green case.

p.s.
