What a day

Well, I was feeling pretty good about the morning ready to take on the afternoon but unfortunately I had a... surprise.... gotta love those physician's consults. You get to wait... and wait... and WAIT somemore.... only to find out an hour later that it's the Dr.'s day off and the office couldn't have mentioned that an hour earlier when I called. Humm....yep. Wow.

Class II in the AM BWX in the PM. Great day to be in clinic. At least my patient is coming back in a few weeks.

Well, I wish we went summer semester. This feels foreign to me again. I'm excited for the day it all comes back. AM: 1B with lots of build up on the anterior lower linguals. Fun stuff. PM: 1A, radiographs, possible sealants yay

Back At It Again

Wow, summer went by super fast. It's crazy to think now that we've started... next time we finish we are FINISHED!!! Ah! Boards!!! Ah!!! It was nice to have a day to organize and clean everything before we start with patients next week. I'm not looking forward to finding patients. Good thing the VA fills our schedules for us. I wish WSU did that... :)

Sharpening... yikes. I don't like sharpening and I'm always afraid I'll destroy all my instruments. I am going to consider getting a guided sharpening system or perhaps the side kick sharpening system Hum... if only money grew on trees. I keep telling myself once I graduate and move out of state and start working full time I won't worry about that so much anymore. Oh, wait... the government will own my paycheck. Let's have a shout out for student loans. Wahoo!

WE DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I finished my class III and area specific PE today and I'm finished for the semester! Its crazy to think that there are only 9 more months left of the program. Wow. thats nuts!

Today was the first time I really used my graceys and they are pretty nice. It will take some getting used to but it worked out well.

God Answers Prayers

So I have re-affirmed my belief in God and His willingness and ability to answer our prayers. After clinic on monday some lady walked in wanting her teeth cleaned. I did a screening on her and she had 2 quads of a class III. Yesterday Kimber from 2nd year said she had a patient with 2 quads of a class III so it all worked out and if my patients show I will get all my requirements done. Today I did a 1a to finish that requirement, I did 2 sealants to finish that and I got 3 PE's done.. hopefully I passed them. All I have left is my class III and my area specific PE. Only two days of clinic left... hum... wow. that was awesome.

Oh, and on a personal note... Today my aunt met the guy I was dating and broke up with and she said "why the hell did you break up with him? You go fight for him and get him back!!!" She never swears and I've never seen her more serious. I told her we already had that discussion and we haven't really talked much since. She said to try harder. HAHA. What do you know... finally I find someone my family approves of and I run from it. LOL. Well, on the bright side, I've been doing better in school since then--- a 20% improvement on the last patho test. I would say that is significant. I dont know how people date or are married while in this program. Perhaps its because I have a one track mind and I can either do the relationship thing or the school thing but not both at the same time.
