New Beginnings

Tomorrow is the start of a brand new chapter in med school... Foundation #2: Energy and Metabolic Homeostasis, AND the beginning of the new campus. Lecture at 8:30 no longer means hitting the road by 7:30 and driving to another city, I can roll out of bed half and hour before class, and have time to get ready and walk! I am unbelievably excited by this: no more dependence on the car, and way more awesome people in my little city.

We got a kick-start on the social aspect of the new campus: R (from here on in to be called Saroja, meaning born of a lake, which is a perfect name for her) had a little get together for movies and many many snacks that were too delicious and irresistible to resist (normally I wouldn't worry too much about their irresistiblity (is that a word? it should be) but damn it I have a wedding dress to fit into!!). AND LOTS OF PEOPLE CAME! This is pretty awesome, considering that a little more than three months ago, we didn't know anyone here. I already feel lucky to have met Saroja and the dudes... it definitely makes moving to a new city a lot less lonely. Now, there are fifteen of us, each an interesting, fun person that I look forward to getting to know over the next two and a half years (and hopefully much longer, too).


Also: rumour has it that we will have a coffee maker at the new campus!!! Hooray!

Life before med school....

...was not any less exciting, really.
