The number one peice of advice that I can give you is stay ORGANIZED! There are going to be so many things going on in your life during your program that you don't want to get behind and allow yourself to get unorganized. Your free time is going to be extremely limited and the last thing you are going to want is to be hassled with is disorganization in all aspects of your life. Make sure your binders are organized, your notes are organized and you have a system in place that allows you to find things quickly when you need too. I make sure that I get everything ready Sunday nights for the whole week, so I am not stressed out during the week trying to get caught up. I make sure my meals are cooked, my laundry is done, I have gas in my car and all my books and binders are ready to go. This preparation does take time but it really saves me time in the long run. As far as studying flashcards have been a huge lifesaver for me. They are super portable and really help you with quizzing yourself. I really hope this helps. Organizing your life at school will really help you with all other aspects of your life. So wierd how that is! Congratulations on getting into your program and good luck! Curlylocks44
