Temples and stuffs

So I went to ward temple night on friday and did baptisms for the dead. Quite interesting, though the actually ceremony kind of creeped me out at first. Something about going into a pool surrounded by glass and having three guys watch you dunk in and out of the water 15 times just seemed weird. But I did it, and it was very cool. I don't know when I'll be going back to the temple, as there isn't one in buffalo and then I'll be boarding myself up in my parents lake house in order to study for the NAPLEX, so I'm glad I got to do it once. I also am in my last week here in NYC. I'm very sad about leaving for a multitude of reasons. I'll miss my friend Zack, the church here and a few people I have met. In fact, just recently I went on a date with a guy from here in Brooklyn and I think we really hit it off. So the whole leaving and coming back thing makes for quite a conundrum. I mean, I'll be back in NYC, but I'm not exactly sure when. I know it will be by the end of july, as that is when I leave california to fly back to albany. But I don't know when or if my license comes in as valid, so I may be stuck in Albany for a while until I finally get my license. Or I'm heading to california because I failed my boards. Sigh. God, I hope that doesn't happen. I mean, my school idiotically sent an email saying that a certain form for getting a license, that they are responsible for, is due on April 1st, and they did not tell me this until a week before it was due. Oh, that pissed me off so much. And then the NYS board of pharmacy told me my other form was incomplete because they didn't update their website properly and I had printed out the outdated form. So it's been a bit stressful this week and I really considered the possibility of going to california. As much as I loved the weather and the people out there, I could not leave my mother and go that far away, as I would never see her again if I did. My mother is afraid of flying and hasn't stepped on a plane since 9/11, so the only way I would see her is on holidays, and I don't want that. So it suddenly really saddened me if I had to move to cali. But luckily, I didn't get penalized for the incomplete form and hopefully my school will be able to send the other form out on time (I shipped it express yesterday). So yeah. I move to buffalo soon. Woot for me!
