Spittin' Tired

Ok, so day one is over.

Things I learned today: bras with under-wire are evil, and I should've brought a lunch.

I can already feel an ulcer coming on. I'm trying to remain calm, though, and I'm actually doing pretty well so far! I only cried once today and it was just because I was watching the last five minutes of Ghost.

There was one moment today when I wasn't completely filled with dread...and I actually felt slightly cool (a very strange and new feeling for me!). We were all getting a tour of the facilities where we'll be having class and doing labs; we were being led around by a TA, and she had a clip-board and was yelling over the crowd things like, "There are the vending machines!" and "There's the study rooms...you'll pretty much live in there!" We were all wearing our lab coats and looking bewildered. It was just like Grey's Anatomy (Season 1).

Ahhh, if only my life could be more like a TV show or movie (in which my boyfriend dies and then comes back as an apparition to save me from his evil best-friend's murderous heart and scandalous money laundering plot) and less like my actual life (which now only involves reading medical texts, driving, and worrying).
