What was your FIRST day and FIRST weeks like at your MBB?

Looking for general, fun, interesting or not-interesting stories of what your first day on the job was like:

ie
1) How you felt
2) What your expectations vs reality were like
3) How you adjusted to the new flow? (if it was a new flow at all)

Thanks!
