Orientation

Just a quick one, classes start tomorrow, I don't want to fall asleep on my first day! Orientation was good; three full days of motivational talks, information sessions, and lots of good food. Tonight we received our stethoscopes and white coats at a white table cloth dinner that included one of the better dinners I have ever eaten. . . I could get used to this. Unfortunately the pampering stops tomorrow. Molecular biology, cells and anatomy lab start tomorrow and I have to cook my own dinner. bummer. Luckily if you sign up for the right seminars around here you can get a fair amount of free meals year round, you just have to learn to work the system.

I am excited, and a little nervous, and completely honored to he starting at Stanford Med. I anticipate many exciting days over the next several years and hope to be able to share them with all of you. Thank you for your support and keep in touch (even though I am not sending out emails, if you are reading this I would love to hear from you). Here I go . . .
