Orientation!

Today was the first day of orientation. It was slightly odd for me, since most of the team-building part of the orientation occurred at Frank Dining Hall on Pomona College's campus. It was surreal to participate in all these activities at my alma mater, and it'll probably continue to be surreal all throughout this ordeal, since we'll be in Sontag for parts of tomorrow and our white coat ceremony will be held in Little Bridges, which was like a second home to me as an undergrad.

So far, the team building has been pretty inspiring and fun. The lectures about the changing field and the importance of EQ and self awareness etc. have also been great and illuminating, but they were just a tad on the long side. I felt my energy flagging, but I think the company throwing all these activities is doing the best it can to engage us.

I'm probably going to go to bed soon cause I'm exhausted, and we have a full week of this. Haha, not a good sign that I'm so tired. WE AREN'T EVEN AT THE HARD PART YET.
