Blood turning green...

The scheduled parts of the first day of med shul orientation are all over.  All that's left is the picnic at the outdoor club, and drinks at the canoe club.

More than anything, the dominant feature of the day was an introduction to the incredible amount of support this learning community seems to provide.  Not a shred of arrogance, or even mention of leagues of the ivy persuasion.

And the class is really an incredible group.  I got a taste yesterday when we did a hike up Mt Cardigan in Vt.  So many interesting people who have done so many interesting things, and who seem genuinely warm and concerned about other people.

Lots more to write, but I think I'm really gonna like it here.

So glad you seem to have landed in the midst of people from your same planet. You deserve it!

Mike, it sounds like an incredible atmosphere to be around. I am so happy for you that you have found a place to be yourself while learning to be a doctor. I cannot wait to hear more about your adventures in NH!
