Try to relax and don't get too wound up about the start of school. The pace of work starts out very manageable, if anything you'll feel like you have too much free time the first few weeks. Use that time to get to know friends, get to know the area/amenities available to you, and to develop a framework for studying. Use the early days to figure out if you're going to go to class, what hours you'll study, when you will give yourself time to socialize and take breaks, etc. If you go in with some ideas already, it'll make adapting much easier. A couple hours daily is more than sufficient until things get busier in October.

As a fourth year getting ready for residency apps, I can say the last three years have been a worthwhile journey, so do try to enjoy bits of it.

Course registration for fall semester... Is this something that will take place during orientation week? Or are we expected to do so prior. If so, where can I find the schedule?
