I want to suck up as much info. as I possibly can, and I don't want to miss anything, but if I need to I will. <BR/><BR/>Hi Michele, I just heard the incoming class is 27 people! That is an unbelievable number, compared to the 8 in yours just a couple years ago!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for stopping by, Sheri. I'll do my best to keep up with this blog so people who are considering this will have plenty of real-life information to help them decide. I won't sugar-coat it either.Dawn Buthornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03657505032780780562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6380520186501466262.post-56124404478854023812008-07-03T11:53:00.000-04:002008-07-03T11:53:00.000-04:00Dawn, this sounds so amazing and so exciting!

I think the class graduating this summer is fairly hefty, 17 or 18? At least that's hefty compared to the 8 souls in my class.<BR/><BR/>Also, the summer residency usually has the special weekend in the middle, which makes things even more jampacked.<BR/><BR/>Even though my final residency schedule last January was fairly relaxed in comparison to this summer's, it felt like it lasted about 3 months. But probably that's because I had to give a reading and lecture.<BR/><BR/>Have a great time, Dawn! I hope you can give yourself permission to skip things once in a while when you need a nap.Michele Regenoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15986233319096332194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6380520186501466262.post-27797518303790499482008-06-29T02:01:00.000-04:002008-06-29T02:01:00.000-04:00i never managed to get to my own nightly postings ...i never managed to get to my own nightly postings last january -- too much "networking" with my classmates!<BR/><BR/>as for the busy-busy aspects of the schedule keep in mind that most people find themselves a little burnt out midway through, and as long as you're getting your minimum number of lectures in, it's okay to take a few lectures off for some down time (not tobin's, of course!). everyone always wants to see and do everything, but about five days in there just comes a day where people need to sleep in, or take an afternoon nap. <BR/><BR/>busy has never felt more fun, or as invigorating.david elzeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16653215150526146224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6380520186501466262.post-31903146179372371882008-06-29T00:15:00.000-04:002008-06-29T00:15:00.000-04:00You are going to get such great feedback!
