The first step in a long, looooong road. Also, that picture is probably one of the most important I have taken in a while. Not only am I stuck with it for the next four years, but it will also be sent to all residency programs I apply to. I freaked out this morning when I woke up with a large pimple and a crazy scratch that I had apparently given to myself in the middle of the night. But luckily none of those show in the picture.
Side note, it rained in the middle of the night. Here are some other crazy things that I learned in Orientation about my new home.
- Sun visors for your car are necessary to make sure you don't burn your hands on steering wheels.
- Don't forget to leave a small crack in your window or else the 130 degrees that it can get in your car will blow out your car windows
- You should also get jumper cables because the heat will destroy your car battery, even if you drive a new car.
It was a long day, so Lauren (my roommate) and I decided to celebrate medieval style with Argentinian Malbec. (Chris is part of a pool league that plays on Monday evenings and he doesn't start classes until Wednesday, so he was not part of the celebrations unfortunately). Life (so far) is good.
Yay Matt! You updated! :) Your picture looks great, and I'm glad you've learned valuable information already. Hope your move went well!

That's interesting about the car windows...didn't really think about it but it all makes sense! Glad your first day was good. Way to go on the pathway to being a fantastic physician!!!
