Welcome to Med School, Here's Your Flask

Orientation starts tomorrow.  There's a mixer tonight at a local bar.  Looking through the social schedule they gave us, we seem to have social events at bars every single night of the week.  They list the starting times as 10:00 pm for most of them.  But then the next day, we have orientation lectures starting at 8 or 9 am.  I kind of get the sense that the welcoming committee is getting us used to med school via the Baptism by Fire approach.  Get us used to being slightly sleep-deprived all the time, and start us on our ulcers and dependency problems early.  That's thoughtful of them.
