Look at me! I have a white coat!

First, a couple of pictures from last night's "white coat ceremony" which they do for incoming medical students - for some reason. It's not like we've actually done anything yet to deserve a ceremony.

This is what I look like when I think someone is being rude by getting ready to walk in the middle of my picture. But the most important thing about the picture - the guy behind me. Look at his hair! Looooook at it! It's GINORMOUS! Oh, and that's Scott with me. I mean, Dr. Scott. (Dr. Scott! Janet! Brad! ROCKY!) I can't stop doing that. Anyway.



And this is me and my cousinwhoislikeasister:



So anyway, I survived orientation. I don't think the workload will be nearly as bad as they make it sound. The first packet of Gross Anatomy notes don't scare me at all - probably because I've had a lot of the information before in undergraduate and graduate school, and also when I taught undergrad anatomy lab as a graduate assistant. I also got a surprising pep talk from my ex-boss - he told me not to be so hard on myself and that I am "very bright". And he's the kind of person that you don't get that kind of stuff out of very often. So it made me feel much better.

In other words, I think I'll be okay. Except for that scary apartment. And I think I'll still have time to blog. I hope.

Oh, and look! In yonder sidebar! I've added a Flickr badge with some pictures. Have fun with that, if you want.
