A Hero of His Own Accord
He sounded disappointed.  But really, I just don’t think he understood it completely.  He was a hero.  In a round-a-bout way, or more of a squiqqly line, cross over, interchange, on ramp, overpass and underpass kind of way.  Exit on the left and enjoy the rest of your day.

There was no method to the madness that predicted his final practicum placement.  It was a computer.  Randomly, or maybe not so randomly, it chose 2 placements for students.  The College of Pharmacy is in Halifax, the placements, were here there and everywhere.  Even past Ecum Secum.  Who knew.

Life changing events are now decided at random by a computer.  Well, I guess this has been happening for quite some time now.  One would hazard a guess, anyhow.  So Andy is getting shipped out to Ontario for 3 months in order to complete his Pharmacy Degree.  And you’re probably still wondering how he is a hero in all of this.  Well, I have a feeling that computer may have looked at the person’s province of origin.  Given that Andy is an Upper Canadian, it probably felt that there would be less chance of culture shock.  And really, it was protecting good, friendly Martimers.  Upper Canada is much to scary for the likes of them.

So yes, it’s unfortunate, but at the end of the day, you’re a pharmacy hero! And if nothing else, I’m sure you can find a pharmacy company willing enough to sponsor your airfare, board, and food while you’re there.  Goodluck! And don’t forget to pack your tights and cape.
