I'm here at last!!
So I've finally made it!! 6 months of preparing and worrying (not to mention 6 months of stressing over apps) and it all comes down to this. I flew out of SJC at 845am, nearly late after the AA computers had a shut-down and nobody could check-in. Finally, the computers worked, only to find that I was in the wrong line (of course) because I had overweight luggage. So i lugged my 69# and 55# bag to the correct line, and I had to remove my beloved tennis racket (and one badminton racket) to make my 55# bag down to 52.5#. boohooohoooo. =( So off I went, slept most of the way there, and worked on updating my schedule on my palm for an hour. Got to LGA, no problems. Shuttle bus however, had a flat tire, so it took me 'til 930pm EST to get to Yale. The driver was awesome tho, and bought us all drinks (non-alcoholic of course, for those you who were at my good-bye party) while we waited to get it fixed. I was greeted by Tina, a current student in the dorms, and she showed me around. My room is HUGE!! No camera, so I can't post a pic of it here. But it's about 14' by 10', sink and all. Just a tiny twin size bed, desk, dresser, and 2 chairs. Bare minimum, but enough. I unpacked slowly 'til 4:30am EST, and decided to shower and head to bed. I immediately felt lonely...nobody is HERE!! No neighbors, nothing! The other med programs (medical, nursing, epidemiology) don't start til late Aug, so it's just me for now, and a few summer ppl. Called up a few friends, and finally forced myself to bed in a hot hot humid humid stale stale room. sigh...i should appreciate this compared to the freezing winters to come!
