Hi! I’m Allie, a P1 student, and I am twelve weeks into my
first year at Presbyterian College School of Pharmacy. Thankfully, my head is
still above water. However, if you should find yourself struggling, there are
opportunities available from peer-tutoring, 24 hour access to the Pharmacy
building, and the writing center on main campus to aid in your survival. At
mid-term, if you have less than a C in a class, you are notified confidentially
that you are on academic probation. This is set up to make sure that all is
being done to ensure your success in the course. An appointment with your
advisor is arranged and the two of you will work out a plan on how you will get
yourself to a passing grade. If you do not manage to accomplish this, PCSP
allows for you to retake that course in the summer for a second chance to pass.
These past twelve weeks of pharmacy school have been an
amazing experience. I’m living in an apartment for the first time, which
compared to living in a dorm room for undergrad is heaven. My apartment also
allows for a lovely 5 minute walk to class every day. Everyone within the
school, as well as, the Clinton community is warm and welcoming, so do not be
surprised when they know you’re name!
We are coming off our fall break which was a good breather
to get away for a while. For me, this consisted of going back home to Kentucky
and spending time with my family on our farm. After I am finished composing
this blog I shall make the six hour trip back to Clinton and reality. But just
as quick as these last weeks have gone by, it will soon be time for FINALS and a
well deserved Christmas break! Until then, the studying and stress shall
continue.
Good luck in your pursuits! Hope to see you next fall!
