Day 2 of Orientation

Today definitely had more substance. We received syllabi for Anatomy/Histology/Embryology and Biochemistry, our two major courses for the next two semesters. The warnings, congratulations and course overviews left me with two impressions:

1) This is going to be a lot of work, but I need to keep a positive attitude an not be dead set on a competitive specialty.

2) AZCOM is like a liberal arts college as a typical allopathic school is like a big state school. It reminded me of undergraduate education. I unfortunately chose UW over Whitman then, but made the better choice this time around.

Today also had more humor with Dean Cole and the Security representative winning the most laughs. Student Services got a little long-winded, especially since it was at the end of a long day and we were all hungry. I dashed to Challenge Charter, picked up the boys and we ate a quick dinner in the cafeteria before playing a game of pool.

One more day of logistics, paperwork and faculty introductions before the real fun begins.
