Seconds/News

Okay, about the second day now. Orientation day went reasonably alright except for the bit where about five people kept emphasising about how "some of you will fail" "we will not spoon feed you" etc. etc. I mean I expected the doom and gloom but I didn't think it was going to be the main focus of the talks. It is ofcourse, exciting.

After signing up with three different medical insurers, I now feel completely protected. Was joking yesterday saying that we can probably go and attack someone with no pentalty since we will be represented by the equivalent of Mr. Burn's legal team. I think it was also a possible initial portrayal of the free stuff we can get from the drug reps etc. when we finally do become doctors. God they flooded us with free stuff.

The tour of the building was interesting with little to remember in all honesty. All the rules and expectations were laid out and the equpiment looks very new and up to date so that's something to look forward to. And met the rest of my PBL group members. Not THAT should really be interesting. I think generally, I don't speak up that often intitally because I am not used to the group thing but now, I think I need to get over it and speak up in this 'safe zone'. The mix is also certainly interesting because there are people from different backgrounds all over the place. A bit concerened about this one guy who seems to be repeating the year and acted like he was above it all a little bit. Hmmm here's to hoping all goes well.

Oh yeah, in other exciting news, I managed to scrape my car getting into the tiny car park, which may turn out of be a rather expensive exercise, combine that with the rego renewal and text book fees, I think I shall be a rather broke boy for a while. But hey, that's what I signed up for when I became a student right? So toughen up. Plus I am living with the parents so not really like I can whinge to other people and anyone else is going to have sympathy.

The day managed to end with drinks at the pub, although admittedly, there being like a three hour time lag bettwen us finishing and the drinks at the pub meant that we were wondering around aimlessly for quite a bit beforehand. I was driving so I didn't really drink but there were certainly a lot of people and it was quite fun. Got to meet quite a few new people who "may be your best friends for the next four years". Lol, seeing some of them, I hope not? No, I'm just kidding.

Either way, that was orientation day. I am sure I forgot bits and pieces but I think I've covered most points. I am not sure how often I'll be able to keep doing this but hey. Only time will tell I guess. For now, thank you for reading and adios again.
