What a great first day. It’s the first first day in a long time in which I did not get lost or have something truly humiliating happen, usually resulting in tears. I met more of my classmates and professors, and I am even more convinced that this school is exactly where I need to be.
I have some new school supplies. Boy do I love school/office supplies. Pens, dry erase markers, and highlighters in every color, new syllabi, canvas binders, and a reflex hammer!
Now is the time of the first day evening when I survey the chaos of all the information I acquired today and try to put it into a sensible, usable format.
Thanks for the well-wishes!






I love the organizing and school supply part!
Glad your first day went well!
I can’t ever recall a time in my life when a reflex hammer was on my school supply list … oh right, that’s because I’m NOT A ROCKSTAR LIKE YOU GOING TO MED SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just wanted to join the well-wishers and am so happy that you are convinced that you are doing exactly the right thing. That’s a great head start in itself.
Re: your recent Twitter posts. I think that you are fourteen kinds of awesome for following your dreams back to medical school. I can not imagine how difficult it must be to back in school while juggling your responsibilities as a wife and mother. I’ll be pulling for things to be better for you.
