Bran,
The Joy of the Lord is your strength. Always remember this line from Proverbs: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not in your own understanding - in all your ways, acknowledge Him and He shall direct your path."
I just read this today, Mike.

I thank all of you for your kind words and your prayers.
I was calm during orientation, well at least I tried to retain some semblance of stern reticence. lol.
I was elated kaayo to meet the acquaintance with the Dean of Students as well as the Director of Basic Sciences, the professors of Neuroanatomy, Gross Anatomy, Embryology, Medical Histology and Medical Legal Ethics. Very to the point ilang answers to my questions. It gave me a sense of relief.
I met 2nd year medical students, the ones that I owe alot of thanks for helping me get a nice and affordable apartment close to the medical campus is AJ, Jay, Dave, Iris, Ann. Their words were comforting, as well as encouraging. Additionally, they allowed me to follow them during their anatomy lab.
I'm excited because apparently my class will be receiving 10 new bodies (cadavers) that we will be preparing.
I felt small compared to some of my many contemporaries; many of whom have their Masters, a degree in Physical Therapy, some even have their Ph.Ds already.
One can feel the difference; my peers are a lot more serious as compared to undergraduate college.
