I want you to tell me about your first day. Somehow, I'm envisioning a Kindergarten-esque scenario--lunchbox in hand, wide eyes, worried about whether or not the other children will push you in the mud and steal your milk money...
 
I hear you are supposed to shank someone in the yard on the first day. That way everybody knows not to mess with you.
 
Shanking? So it IS like Kindergarten!

NYCOM's first day was a first class cluster-f last year. So disorganized... the entire class spent the afternoon (read: up to four HOURS) standing in 2 lines. It could have been much more efficiently organized, but no, of course not.

The morning was fine and standing in line allowed us all to chat and "bond" (although it was still annoying). In fact, that's how I met one of my closest friends. We had class the next day and from there it's all pretty much a big blur. 🙂

If we end up standing in line to "bond" for that long under the Arizona sun, they will have to come around and scrape our melted carcasses off the sidewalk.

I hear orientation is pretty boring though. But I'm willing to wager it isn't as boring as the job I'm currently neglecting.

Remind me to avoid slim on my first day. 😱

I just shaved me head too and I've been lifting pretty hard-core lately. I was telling my wife last night I'm worried I'll scare people now because I look like a thug.

Good lord, what kind of Kindergarten did you go to?

I think he mean shank as in stab someone with a makeshift knife made out of a toothbrush.

Oh....so he didn't mean "shank" as in "hugging and blowing bubbles with friends"?

(I know what "shank" means. I was being sarcastic)

You'll look at tad more manly without those highlights you had previously. Way to go, turbo. 👍

Cute kid!

I can't remember my first day of medical school well any more, but I think it was a generally overwhelming experience, filled with hours of classes, lots of notes to review, and hundreds of pages to read. I had the sense I was behind before I even started. Yeah. Not very kindergarten-like.
 
Conjugal visits? Not that I'm aware. Medical school is no picnic. I've got a client there now. He says the trick is to kick someone's ass on the first day, or become someone's bitch.

Hmmm, on the first day they gave us crayons and paper and asked us to draw pictures of our lives while we sat in our lecture hall that looks like a cafeteria.....so, yeah, I'd say the kindergarten analogy isn't that far off.
