Oh snap

We just had a small glimpse into what Fall quarter will look like and it will suck. Weekly changes and big time overloads. One can only wonder how the hell am I going to be able to do this without losing my mind.  I will get through this, I have too. One of my classmates made a Facebook page just for our year, I am excited to be able to share info and hopefully learn better with the help of the others.

Weekend fun - Ugh Monday

This weekend we went to the ORV park and enjoyed that. Got to take a lot of naps and catch up on my readings for school. So I'd say a good weekend.

Today felt so drawn out, Dent 101 was quick but the quiz was horrible. A lot of us had issues with it so hopefully we can have some sort of extra credit. Then in lab, I can not get my time for set up under 5 minutes. I don't know why but I'm really pissed about it. Plus I feel like shibby for some reason. My sides hurt and I feel drained. Just an overall icky day.

Here are some pictures from the weekend.

Week 3 Complete

Monday: Quiz was pretty simple. I finished it in 5 minutes.  We started learning more names for teeth and then a few names  for the facial features.  Lab was fun, the evaluation was easy and I scored great.

Tuesday & Wednesday: The second quiz was harder, and we are in a bit of an information overload.  So many things to know about diseases and people and infection control.  Next week is going to be rough.

Otherwise it's an ok week.  My mom helped me out and got me new jeans because mine are old.  Gotta love family!

Week 2 Complete

Well first of all, my BF came back a bit bruised but very happy he went.  He now wants to live in Canada because the people there are way nicer than the people in the US.  Being from Guam, I think anywhere other than the US has nice people... Honestly your all kinda dicks, just saying.  But he is sad he is back and really wants to go.

Week 2 has concluded and I had my first Quiz on Monday.  I think it went well.  Lab was a bit of a chore, we placed all the barriers around the operatory. Practiced placing PPE's (Personal Protective Equipment) and hand washing again.  We learned about all types of infection/disease causing microorganisms.  It was an interesting week, bit overwhelming but good.
