Tomorrow I begin my first day of medical school. Wow.
I have to admit, if I had gone to school anywhere else, I might not have done as well. I mean its weird, yes i'm living in a foreign country. But I dont have to worry about any of the things I once had to worry about. Laundry is free, they clean my room for me, they provide me with toilet paper, and then I dont even have to cook if I don't want to b/c I can set up a meal plan where I get indian food delivered to my room 3 times a week. So in a way, I'm almost not really experiencing all that med students have to deal with, not that im complaining. ;D Afterall, not having to cook or clean will leave me more than enough time to study and play and not fight with my roomie (who other than being a bit full of herself, is pretty nice).
But at the end of the day, I'm still scared shitless about all my classes. Today at convocation, they told us "if you fail any of your classes you will be dismissed". I knew this, but somehow, it being put in words freaked me out. I also realized that I am very grateful for my Rutgers experience. My class has 300 students and if I had not been used to attending large lectures I think I would have been freaked by that. Funny, I never thought i'd be so grateful about that part of my education.
