Back at it again

Well, the time has come... school is back in session and we're back at it scraping crap off teeth; to be dentally correct... scaling calculus from the dentition.

The break went by quickly. I was ready to just start back up again the Monday after the semester ended but as Spring semester neared, I decided it would be easier to be in school indefinitely than take boards. Needless to say I feel overwhelmed as I am sure the rest of the class does.

The VA is the same old same old, well for the most part. Our treatment codes sheet has changed... it's now pink. I don't know if I can adjust to the change. It's going to be hard to get used to. Along with the snow and freezing cold temperatures, the morning welcomed me with a lovely 1B patient, a nice easy one after a short break. I may have a SRP patient any minute now. It would be nice for classifications but honestly I'm not in the mood for that.

My efforts in finding a mate have not ceased. Over the break I dated 8 different guys but have recently narrowed it down to one. I don't know how lasting this will be. He is a 22 year old soldier getting ready to be deployed again come February. He will be gone for 18 months. My heart is torn between allowing myself to love and just having a good time until he goes with no promise of a future. He'd like me to wait for him. I'll have to see, perhaps Antonio Banderas will come knockin on my door while Josh is gone. I was taken by surprise when I met him. We conversed via text messages for a good week before we met in person. I really had no intentions of dating him but thought I would humor him by going out with him, once. I took one look at him and I was smitten. It was one of the best dates I have been on. I think he felt the same. We have not been able to be apart since we met. It never ceases to amaze me how quickly a relationship can develop and flourish. He leaves February 25 but will be back in March for a week or two. If he had it his way we'd marry when he comes back in March. I asked what the point of that would be and he said that way I am for sure his when he returns. It's not going to happen, poor kid.
