Well, today was day one of orientation and man did we take in a lot of information. The student tour guides, faculty, and staff were very helpful and eased a lot of concerns--they are truly first class individuals! I must say that I am proud to be going to this school! The faculty could not emphasize enough how taxing the curriculum is going to be---ayeyaeyae, thanks a lot Nothing shocked me more than sitting at my pre-clinical lab station with my name all over everything---accountability baby! What an amazing, initially frightening, and energizing experience to be out of school working for a year and then BAMMMMB a new responsibity takes effect. Handling the instruments I will be using for four years for the first time is when reality really set in. I said to myself, "This is it, games on. No more waiting--ready or not." My ultimate worry is that I will be a slow learner in the laboratory. I can only pray that the lab professors will be patient and move at a learnable pace--basically I am concerned that I will constantly perceive that I am way behind while everyone else is way ahead. All I can do is try my best and try not to rush things or let my OCD tendencies take over--yeah right me not rush Next stop, Willy Wanka and the tooth paste factory on Friday I ABSOLUTELY cannot wait to be adjusted and fully oriented! That's all!
