So today I remembered to research something that had been bugging me for a while, and discovered that what I am studying is not Pharmaceutics. Apparently, Pharmaceutics is just a branch of Pharmacy, which is, in fact, what my field of study is called in English.

Damn you English-speaking people, messing with the Greek words!

I'll go back to change all mentions of Pharmaceutics to Pharmacy... tomorrow.

Off to bed,
Anna.

er.....*blinks thro headache and fevered brain* me thought they were the same thing. and i cant recall ever hearing an english speaking person ( ;p ) saying they were studying pharmacy. that doesnt sound right at all. it's like saying you're studying hospital.

*looks at doranwen for help*

This is exactly why it hadn't crossed my mind until I went to the campus and saw the big sign reading "Τμήμα Φαρμακευτικής" and, right below that, the translation: "Pharmacy Department" :p

See ya,
