My wife and I have been living in San Antonio since the 25th of June, but I've still been in dissertation mode for most of this time. Well, I can report that as of yesterday, it's finally truly dawned on me that I will be a medical student as of Monday the 19th. Wow. We were at the grocery store yesterday when I got an email from UIWSOM regarding the orientation and after reading it twice, I looked at Eboni and said, "I'm really going to be a medical student aren't I? This is really happening." She looked at me with a smile and said, "Yes, its what we've been chasing for all of these years." A tear started to well up in my eye and Eboni and I hugged right there in the vegetable department at Walmart.
Monday, orientation starts with tours of the campus and the Brook's area and at 2:30 PM, I have to go get my school ID badge, diagnostic kit, and have my laptop assessed by the IT department to ensure that it meets the schools requirements. Then Tuesday through Thursday, orientation will be from 8:30 AM until 2:30 PM. On Saturday the 24th, we'll celebrate at the White Coat Ceremony, and then on the 26th, classes start. Wow.
