The day started off when I slept through my alarm! Great! The first day and I'm already behind schedule! It was fine. It just meant getting ready a little quicker and finding the least wrinkled clothing in the closet! I'm sure there are going to be a lot of "firsts" for me on this little adventure. My first first today was getting blood drawn. I guess it's a good thing that I've never had to know what my blood type is, but it could probably be really important to be sure of overseas! While the nurse was looking for a good arm to stick, another nurse walked in. My nurse (a really big, macho guy) said, "Miss Lansford didn't bring her veins today." I didn't think that was a good comment. At least he didn't try to poke around, he just went straight to the hand. We also went exploring today to find out what all is around here - Wal-Mart, Chick-Fil-A, you know, the important places! Pretty much everyone is here now. It's great to see friends that I met here in April. Two of my fellow UM grads are here, so it's also fun to have people around that I've really known for more than 5 days! My third teammate, Jessica, got here late today, so I'm excited to get to know her some. Tomorrow afternoon our first big session starts (so maybe I don't have to worry about sleeping in!)
Oh, and I'm probably only looking at getting 7 shots. The only thing is that some of those have two and three rounds! But at least they spread them out over 3 days!
