Can't Wait to Graduate

This morning I got full mouth radiographs and thats about it. No OD, no probing, no scaling, no nothing. I could have scheduled my patient for radiographs and sent her on her way and used the extra time constructively doing homework.

This afternoon I pray that my patient shows up. They don't speak much English and I am not sure if they know where to get a parking pass and where the clinic is. They didn't let me explain very well when I called to confirm last night. We shall see. Oh sweet!!!! My patient just arrived.

This morning stressed me out a bit. I had a class II that was pretty bloody with lots of build up. I was ready for lunch. In the PM was a class V which was ok but the staining was a challenge. I finished her and scheduled her to come back in March .Hopefully I will get most of next semester scheduled this semester with recall appts. that would be nice.

Confidence boost

Sweet, my post is gone. I love technology. I'll leave it at AM: 1B PM: Class V

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.
