Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween Everyone!

Filled a #30 FO with Filtek Flow as a base an finished off with Filtek Supreme. Our class celebrated Halloween with a pizza party. Was awesome but I should have eaten better. We got to fumble with dental dams again. It's rough on your fingers doing it 3 times and still not getting it right.

Today is my 3rd day of working out, mainly bicycle. Doing it for 30 minutes in intervals setting. Right at the half way point it kills and my legs are dead but I try to push through. Hopefully if I keep this up I'll lose some weight.

Bf and I didn't do anything for today, too much homework for me plus we are tired.

Week 6 Start

Half way into the quarter and its getting tiring. Started working out too, very tired. Explain more another time..

Week 5 Completed

So we are just about halfway with the quarter and I feel like I've been in a fog. Things have been going by so quickly and I haven't had a chance to relax even once. But I can look forward to a few days off this month. I was fairly satisfied with my grades to this point until the test from last week in Chairside. I was doing great until then when I got a 79.6% which I guess for some people is fine, but I'm striving for A's and I won't be happy otherwise. Quite honestly if I were doing this just for myself it would be fine. But since my Grandmother has passed, I am setting my goals high to make as many people proud of me as I can. I know for a fact that no one thought I would ever make something of myself. I was a spoiled brat and hated school. The simple suggestion of wanting to go to college was alien in my life. I'm not even quite sure how it all started but I've come to a point in life where I've set up a checklist for myself and if I stray then I don't deserve to have anyone proud of me. I want to show people that they were wrong to think I wasn't going anywhere. And mainly to rub it in some people's faces. I do have to be honest and point that out. There are a select group of people in my life where I really want to take their words and shove it down their throats and hope they choke!

Now don't get me wrong, all my goals are strictly for me to be satisfied with my life. But you can't only have good intentions in mind to keep it up. For me, it would bring me utmost pleasure to be in a high point in life and help those who help me and not help those who used me. No one can be saintly, and if they say they are, they are lying!

Wow

First day of Clinic and it was not as bad as I was expecting. Because I had talked to my teacher in the summer, I wiggled myself into getting my teeth done. There were 2 patients in the morning. I was one, more like a test subject, for FMX with the new digital X-rays. The other just in for an amalgam. Which turned out to be a whole mess of things. Other than that patient we jut did X-rays for the other 2. We ran out of time but it was interesting. Learned that salt helps the gag reflects. Interested to see what we do next week!

Week 5 Start

Didn't realize I didn't end Week 4. It went well and I found out that this week I would have Clinic on Wednesday.

I've come to the realization I need to buckle down with things. Currently I'm still walking right along my goals for the big picture. While doing that I have been neglecting the small details. With the fact that I go to school full-time and work less than part-time, money has become a big issue. I am overly stressed about my lack of good income and debt rate. Though I know for a fact I can clean the slate next year with my financial aid and tax money, I still feel the pinch. It is also the very taxing on the wallet to go to my therapy and acupuncture appointments. I do not want to stop seeing them, but I want to stop spending money that should be saved. Jon and I are planning to go to Canada again and I need to have warm clothes or I won't leave the hotel. I went to the bank today to see if I can increase my credit limit to pay off things and be able to eat. I'm crossing my fingers.

Stressed to the max and no outlet :(

Today was...

To be honest, frikken cold!! Need to start getting hot drinks.

Classes are ok but there are a lot of tough things that are popping up. I am worried that I am not doing as well as I want to but my teacher keeps assuring me that I am doing just fine. Clinics start next week along with upcoming Midterms. Need to buckle down this weekend and study hard. I will probably stay late at school just to stay focused.

Loving the Fall season, I just wish it weren't so cold!

Week 4 Start

Well, test was a joke but I think I did ok. Worried about tomorrow's test. Long school day though.

Acupuncture went nicely, got a few minutes of shut eye but still tired. And I'm really happy because my Papa is back, with my Auntie and Cousin!

A homicide...

Friday night there was a stabbing across the street. Saw EMTs doing CPR. The next thing I see is a tarp and the roads being closed. Hard to think that something so bad happened so close by.

But other than that I had a good week! Turned 24 on Wednesday and got a raise at work. Good times.

Week 3 Start

Its starting to get real, we are working on so many things that it is just crazy. I am trying to keep up but I get confused as to what class I am in and what we are doing that day. I know it isn't just me but it helps when I look at my planner to know the schedule. Still working on coming up with a grade tracker since my app is now useless. I need a nap...

Small changes

Not to many but enough to where I feel a lot better. Thanks to Katie I have changed some parts of my diet for the better. Working in lots of protein and fruits. Still need vegetables but its a work in progress. I had better focus and not as many highs and lows in my mood or energy. Weekend are still a bit sketchy but it's more so because I work and Oly Burger is in the store. I am missing having days off.

I go see the acupuncturist tomorrow so that will be interesting again. Nap time haha

Week 2 Complete

I have to say that this week went a bit better, even if there was more information. I've slowly upgraded my organization skills and have a fine group of women who lend me a hand if I need it. We practiced quite a few things. Plenty of hands on material and a few coloring worksheets.

I can't quite remember if I mentioned the girl in my class that talks nonsense, and I'm not about to go back at my posts if I did. It just seems to be getting worse. Our teacher has now come to the point where she ignores her and she still talks. The other girls are trying to put up with it but are complaining to the teachers. Some girls are inching towards having a confrontation with her. Mind you this is only week 2! I do sympathize with her, but she is milking that victim card every time she vents to me. I've said before, I know I have, that there are a few people who get under my skin and she is fast becoming one of them. I can't take proper notes and we don't get to go through all the material for class. There is a lot to learn and I fear we aren't going to get it all if she continues.

For the first 3 weeks, group A has Fridays off. But today our teacher called in for a CPR/First Aid class to update or give those who need it. We have to have current ones that will last through the program. The firefighter who came was a great teacher. He powered through everything, mainly what was realistic in our field. Then another firefighter showed up to help with the learning process. Man oh man was he eye candy. Course me and my silly self focused on learning than being gaga over the guy. I was able to get a few good glances in. I got dropped off so when we finished I had to wait for my BF to get off work. I could have walked home but it's getting cold out and the last thing I need is to be sick. So for the 3 hours I was there I was able to organize what homework was due for what classes and days. I am caught up for Monday and most of Tuesday. I am actually ahead in some readings and made the cool flashcards for the numbering systems. I think I did well and can relax a bit more. Though I hope I can power through this weekend and get more done. That is my goal by Sunday!

Week 2 Start

It was rough today because I'm still recovering. My nose was bleeding for the longest time, still is a bit. Had a few tests today. Also had to run around the campus. I was able to visit with one of my favorite teachers/friend. Printed out all I needed but might redo a few things. Need to run by Staples for the 4th time. Need supplies for a lab class.

Went to an acupuncturist after school. Not quite sure how I feel about it though. Definitely odd but I think I feel a bit better.
