Barb, she plans to go to a pharma...something or other technology school so she can use some of her nursing knowledge towards a new career. Again, she has to have her Permanent Status before she can go there. It's a private college that's actually about 10 minutes from where I live. She just wants to do ESL to bone up on her spoken and written English while she waits.
G, she's not looking to become a Pharmacist. This is a course to work in the Pharmaceutical industry, I believe it's a one year course but I could be wrong. I think she wants to operate her own grow op lol!
Here in the states, a pharmacy technician (the person you talk to at the counter at the drugstore - the one that calls the actual pharmacist over to explain your side effects) has a relatively short amount of training, kind of like a medical assistant I believe. That's probably equivalent to what she's talking about doing.
Today SDA Lady and I went for glow in the dark mini-golf in the afternoon and a stir fry restaurant for dinner. SDA Lady had never done mini-golf before and was jumping up and down and squealing like a kid, it was fun indeed! Mmm, I had a squid stir fry. We also went to see the 2.5 million dollar house that her employer has just purchased and SDA Lady will be moving to soon...living in the basement, of course. Next week we attempt bowling. After I dropped her off I went to visit my mother. Full day, not to mention church in the a.m. also.
We also stopped into a mall and as we are walking we come across this seating area with nice comfy chairs and couches. At both ends of one couch there are two guys asleep, both with mouths wide open. It was too funny. I had my camera and I said to SDA lady "I gotta get a picture of this" and she started laughing and telling me why I shouldn't do it. We went into a store and when we came out she was talking clothes and I said "I can't talk to you about this, I'm thinking about how to get that picture. Here you stand behind the couch and I'll take a picture of you and if those guys happen to be in it, well, what can you do" Again she started laughing and refusing to take part in my plan. Never did get my picture. Today she texted me "This morning I can't stop smiling thinking of you wanting to take pictures of people sleeping at the mall" I texted "I still have my camera, so I'm ready for any opportunity that comes my way" and she replied "and I hope I'm always at your side...to stop you!"
