3/5 orientation days completed.
I feel like I'm going to be very bored during parts of orientation. I've worked at the place where I'm going to school for 2+ years. I feel like some of it is going to be like "yeah, I knowwwwwwwww"
But very excited for the new stuff and getting to know people 🙂
Yeah, tomorrow's schedule includes many, many things that don't apply to me at all, but they're scattered among sessions that I need to attend. 🙁

I see your new status.
😎
That's gonna drive me up a wall lol. I always hated first day of classes in undergrad where we reviewed the syllabus....just give it to me to read at home.
Definitely going to be stuff I need during orientation, but when it's stuff I dont, I lack patience
Also, I have learned that the lecture halls at my school are like the arctic. With jeans and a hoodie, it's still freezing. I'm wearing a long-sleeved shirt to school today and bringing a blanket. The high is predicted to be 97 degrees outside, but I need a long-sleeved shirt for school. lol
May I suggest:

Yup. 😎

Everybody's talking about orientations and changing their status. 🙁
For everyone who loves coffee, I've been making iced coffee that's the best I've ever had:
Mix 12 oz ground coffee and 6 quarts of room-temp or cold water. Let sit for 8-12 hours at room temperature. Filter through cheesecloth and refrigerate.
If you really want to go crazy add sweetened condensed milk for a Viet style iced coffee.
Where have you been? I must have missed the update.hello fellow medical students!
Where have you been? I must have missed the update.
writing a manuscript, doing animal experiments, moving in the next week.
I hate moving.
Me too. I don't want to do it again for a long time, especially not 1200 miles.

I am only moving 10 miles, 1200 would be insane
Orientation contains more suckage and drudgery than you would think.
So do you start real school on Monday?Ours had some slow parts but overall was pretty good I thought. The second years took us out almost every night too.
On another note, White Coat Ceremony is tomorrow!
So do you start real school on Monday?
Orientation week is now complete. I'm excited and apprehensive for next week!
just checkin' into this thread. Saw that some of you are in your orientation weekend! exciting!! I am barely going to be on my plane to move from the West to East coast tomorrow morning. Was at my grandmas house just now saying bye to my family and it was quite bittersweet...
My mom cried so much when I was leaving. It made me cry, too. It's too hard not to cry when your mom is crying. 🙁 My mom and sister will be out to visit me for family day the week after next though. Yay! 🙂
Good luck with your move. Hope it all goes smoothly for you.
I had to look that up.Guess who got a Harris Teeter card today. Bet you can't.
Guess who I think of when I hear the words "Harris Teeter card."
Ok, I made my new avatar.
Hmmmm, interesting. I think the best state flags are: California, South Carolina, Arizona, and Alabama. Maryland is unique if nothing else.Fun fact I discovered on a wikipedia search: The Maryland flag consists of the heraldic banner of George Calvert, 1st Baron Baltimore. It is the only state flag in the United States to be based on English heraldry.
