Basic Writing Skills

Published by

I’m not even sure what a hashtag is… but if I were to use one right now, it would be #preceptorproblems …how do you tell someone they need to go start over and learn how to write a proper sentence. :/ Yes, I realize I am not a pro writer and I definitely don’t always use proper sentence structure here… but if you are a professional student in a graduate program turning in a paper – I believe you should be expected to write at a certain level. Fun Fact: According to the Tongue and Quill (the AF’s guide to effective communication), sentences should generally not have more than 20 words (average is 17 words).

Thankfuls continued… blues, friends, patients with patience, bread, and boyfriend

As always… a lot to catch up on… 5 November – I am thankful for my blues… and the fact that I only wear them once a week. 6 November – I am thankful for my friends… near and far… new and old. They are the glue in my ever-changing life. They keep me sane even if I haven’t talked to them for a while. Just knowing they are there for me can get me though anything. 7 November – I am thankful for the patients at work who genuinely say “Oh, that’s all!?” when I tell them they are going to have a 30-minute wait time for their prescription (pretty standard)… also the ones who call their refills in early and those who smile when they come to the pick-up window… it is you wonderful, patient and understanding people that (who?) make my days brighter :) – oh, grammar, sometimes you baffle me 8 November – I am thankful for the Great Harvest Bread Company and their amazing pumpkin chocolate chip muffins… so fresh and warm at 0630… and their free slices …

Thankful November

I stole this idea from a few people who were posting on Facebook… daily notes on what you are thankful for throughout November. I already missed a few days, but I will try to make up for it: 1 November – I am thankful to be a part of the United States Armed Forces and the US Air Force Pharmacy Family. Last week, I attended the Joint Forces Pharmacy Seminar where members from all different branches come together to share ideas and learn what is new and upcoming in DoD Pharmacy. Even though the event was almost cancelled, our learership stepped up and made it happen for another year. This was my first Joint Forces, and it was really awesome to see everyone come together like that, sharing stories and experiences. I am thankful to be a part of something so much bigger than myself and I look forward to everything the future has to bring within this organization. 2 November – I am thankful for short hair! I recently cut it and it’s the shortest it’s been …

Love Always

Found out some awesome news yesterday at work… one of our volunteers, who is 73 years old, has plans to get married later in the year. I just thought that was the sweetest thing. You never know when love will find you. They still had to take the test at her church and are waiting to hear back the results (of which he seemed a little uncertain) but he was also just so happy, you couldn’t help but let his news brighten your day!
