Med School Day 1

As we touched down through the hot, sticky air piercing the sun rise and I glimpsed the placid sea and swaying palms I knew I had migrated to a new home to begin a new journey. The trip to GND was fairly uneventful. My bags both arrived in one piece even though my second bag was marked "standby" and even though they threatened to make me check my second piece of carry-on luggage. I managed a few hours of neck-wrenching-head-bobbing sleep and before I knew it I was waiting in the customs line to declare my laptop. Lucky for me I was near the head of the line; a girl I met later on campus, who ironically was from Breckenridge, CO, said she waited two hours. Anyway, I paid my 68 US dollars and proceeded to hop in a taxi for SGU. Little did I know I was supposed to make it clear I was a new student and I would of gotten my housing assignment from someone and been put in a free cab, but instead I paid the cheap fair and asked the security guy at the gate which dorm was mine.
It all worked out. I got to my building and sure enough my room is on the ground floor so I didn't have to schlep my bags up the steps. Unfortunately we don't have an ocean view, but maybe that is for the best once classes begin...
I did a bit of unpacking and proceeded to PTFO on the bare mattress for 2 hours, Tommy did the same. We then went to find something to eat for breakfast in the student center and wandered around until we got down to the little beach where we stuck our feet into the Atlantic Ocean! There we met a girl who had also been on our flight and was from CO, wow what a coincidence!
I came back and unpacked completely and showered. I felt a bit better. Got some lunch, a wrap, it was ehh (I really hope there are more food options/I need to take a trip to the grocery store tomorrow). I am back on my bed resting, traveling/no sleep=tired Blaine. I am sure there will be more excitement later today/tonight.
It is safe to say that despite appearances I am not in fact on a beach vacation, but rather, along with around 3,000 other students on camps, striving to move ahead in my journey to become a physician. I can't wait. I have a burning feeling in my stomach that is a mix of excitement and a bit of nerves (might also be the lettuce from the wrap). After years of hoping, wishing, waiting, I have finely begun on the road to M.D.
