Orientation Tomorrow!

It is starting. Tomorrow morning, at 9:30 am, I will sit down with my future classmates and enjoy coffee and various pastries. This is the first, official event of my orientation into med school. We will be all pumped up with caffeine and sugar...how appropriate.

I have already had two, less official, events so far. On Saturday night, there was a very nice bbq hosted by three of my classmates who are sharing a house together. Everyone was really nice, and quite interesting to meet. Tonight, the wife and I went to a reception at a second year's house for married students and their SO's (and kids, if they have them...we don't, just the little dog!) This was really great, particularly because we both had a great time and met a few couples that I can see us spending time with over the next few years. It looks like we won't be alone after all!!!

So, as I sit here now, I can feel the anticipation mounting inside of me. I know I should go to bed, but I am getting a bit excited and know I'll have trouble quieting my racing mind. The good thing is that I know that the only thing I have to worry about tomorrow is my appearance. They are taking our id photos, and these photos follow you around for the next four years. I have to make sure I look sharp!
