lagging day

I swear today feels like a million days! I don't feel well and I am getting sick and tired of being worried about ridiculous things all the time. I am just not going to worry about it. If i don't pass an exam then I will worry. I am seriously just burned out! hopefully a weekend off will help me change my attitude.

last the worst!

mockboards are officially over for the rest of my life! I did not however end on a good note. I passed but it was my lowest mockboard score of the three. There was some TENACIOUS calculus that I couldn't budge. I really hope that the pt that I have coming to real boards is not that tenacious. Another day down!

its happening!!

I found my board patient today! She is an Angel!!! and she is perfect! I just really am so excited I have no words to say just how relieved I am! I did nothing else of importance today but I don't really even mind, I found a board patient.

all 15 yr olds are not created equal!

so I had a 15 year old coming today. I thought he would just be an easy 1B and it would be a nice day. No!! his tissues were the most swollen I have ever seen on the lower anteriors and he had black calculus on all sufaces of most teeth. I had to end up getting him numb. I hate when I have to give an injection when I wan't plannign on it because it makes me all nervous and flustered. one day I will be able to give a good solid injection... hopefully before WREB :S

mockboard #2

holy moly! I passed! I am so excited! It really helped that I had a fantastic patient. I can not wait until real boards are over and I can relax for two seconds. I really do feel like I am on the verge of a heart attack ALL THE TIME! one day... one day...

55 minutes

I am so excited because today I had a patient the only had an hour to be here and I got him in and out in 55 minutes! That is really great for me! I am just so glad to get the patients that I get! I always get the nicest ones! For a morning that I woke up dreading the day, it turned out great.

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!
