Welcome Letter

I got my "Welcome Letter" yesterday from the University of Florida.  Along with the letter came some additional info/instructions I need before school starts.

1) Book List
      - Essential Clinical Anatomy
      - Grant's Dissector (yes, I will be dissecting cadavers...awesome!)
      - Atlas of Human Anatomy
      - Squires Fundamentals of Radiology
      - Bates' Guide to Physical Examination and History Taking (apparently this is a med student's bible)
      - Taber's Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary
  
   Just in these few books there is a lifetime of things to learn.  I really can't wait.

2) 3M™ Littmann®  Classic II S.E. Stethoscope

     This bad boy will be my ears for the foreseeable future.

3) Scrubs.  Royal Blue Scrubs.

        Now just try and tell me these scrubs won't look fly with these babies.

       This will be what I wear to class every day for a year.  Not sure how I feel about that, but at least
       I'll be comfortable.  Right?


Among other things, the welcome letter said "You are about to embark on one of the most meaningful experiences of your life."  I'm excited.  I really am.  There are so many things in my life to be sad about right now, so it's nice to have at least one ray of light in there.
