today was the first day in med school. had lunch with faculty and got some good advice. Nasser scared the crap out of me. so did richardson. so did the two MS 2s. whatever happened to encouragement. liked what richardson... or was it nasser said about people who find themselves in academic problems. "its really not a question of their ability to handle the material, it is often the result of making bad after bad decisions, many times out of the academic sphere"
otherwise, the group is stellar! we played b-ball at the gym after the days activities. it wasn't such a bad day. orientation continues tomorrow... specifically anatomy, biochem and embryo....
oh... almost forgot... i now have a badge with my name in CAPS right under MEDICAL STUDENT. my brother joked that my name was written in RED to warn patients that i am an immediate danger....lol!
