beginning of the end!

So this is the 2nd clinic of the final semester. I started out with 8 quads of a 3 and 2 quads of a 4! not bad eh? I am panicing about mockboards though. I don't have a patient and I might has to have an extremely hard one! yikes! anyway I feel like I am starting to get back in the swing of things, hopefully I'll just polish up my scaling skills and be ready to graduate!

clinic checkout

usually I really hate clinic checkout because I have never been missing instruments but this semester has been out of control! I swear everybody is missing instruments. I have no idea what the deal is but why can't people just read what is written and put it is the right bin. is that so hard!!? i really hope that I find my handpiece today. that is like the worst thing to lose!

last clinic day! one semester to go!

I can not wait for christmas break! it is going to be so nice to sleep in study a pinch and not have to worry about class or tests! really I just love christmas! I just have to find some way to not think about school... it tends to ruin the best days.

d-i-a-g-n-o-d-e-n-t! how i hate you.

so I got the diagnodent out today and I really did know what I was doing but the supid thing would not work! I kept getting an error, so after an hour of trying to get it to work I still don't get credit for it. I don't think I would hate it so much if it didn't take so long! I have 4 PE's left that I have to have done before the end of the semester and I really am not sure if it is going to happen.

pre-med

having someone show up that needs to premed and hasn't is the worst thing ever. What a waste of time. The end.

darn eaglesoft.

I scheduled today so that I would see a 1B patient in the morning and be able to have time to do the eaglesoft project... he didn't need x-rays like I thought he did so I could do it. I also got him finished quickly so he could go, but didn't think to take the time to pass off any PE's. I am so behind in the PE department! I think that I have done 4. I am leaving myself so much to do next semester and I think that I am going to hate myself for it!

ready for boards?

At the VA on tuesday I was able to have a patient with calculus all over! It was so fun because it wasn't really tenacious. My professor helped me out and told me that she thought my scaling was very good and that I could pass the board today! what a compliment! I am not sure that I believe her yet but everybody needs a good confidence boost. I ended up missing 4 spots so apparently I am not that great but it made my day to have somebody tell me I was doing well. So often I feel like I have no idea how I compare and if I am up to the level that I should be. Im still learning but so glad I got out of bed at 5:30 in the dang morning to go to the VA today.
