Student ID number day!

My official student ID number arrived via the mail today. I've near about got it memorized. Seems pretty important to go ahead and learn it, however, it's incredibly long. Getting official mail from UMSOM is still really surreal. I wonder when it's going to begin to kick in that I'm truly in med school.... will it be when I relocate for the rest of the year? Start getting med school shots? Make "final" doctor appointments pre-relocating? Move to Jackson?


Or, rather, will it never truly sink in? Maybe orientation will begin and I'll still feel just a bit unprepared. Maybe you can never TRULY be prepared for the rest of your life to begin - or a chapter that's meant so much to end. I try not to get too contemplative yet, there's months and miles to go. But part of me is already wondering... Not anxious, particularly, for I know God is ultimately in control. It is His timing, and His timing is always perfect. Instead, it's an excited wondering... as I'm ready to find a new beginning and begin to make a difference.
