ABC sought our 18-35 year old niche and tada: Grey's Anatomy!

Yet I've learned that my fellow students are feeling the crunch too. Here's a few misconceptions I've uncovered from my first week of classes. Fellow students, faculty and staff: I hope this will prove beneficial in learning the ways of the first-year medical student (please read with humor):

The Labor Day three-day weekend is the perfect opportunity.

My experiences in my first day of classes exceeded my preparations and expectations. Here's a little about my first day:

SWEAT Part II Two of the hard realities of spending three days in the wilderness are that running water only comes from a stream and deodorant is synonymous with bear attacks. As a result, personal hygiene suffers greatly. Despite these inconveniences, our group grew closer and more grizzled together.

Our program is called SWEAT, and it's the most unique ice-breaker that I have ever experienced.
