AAHHH sigh

Well yesturday my patient for the pm canceled and I frantically found another one. Then this morning nic brought me a note and my patient for the pm canceled. I did find one. It worked out really well. She was a class V which I still needed so it was great. I am excited to graduate though and don't have to worry about if my patient shows up as much. I won't have a melt down.

YEAH

Well today went pretty well. I saw a class II this morning and I only got 2 quads done, but could have done more but he had to go to work, but I felt good. I used him as my test. So I have one more quad of a class II test. My afternoon patient was a class V but that was great because I took my test on him and I didn't miss any spots. I feel good after today. I feel like I have learned more in the last three weeks than I did all last year. I know it is because things make more sense now, but I love feeling better!!! I don't stress as much as last year, but still I do a lot.

okay

well, today was a lot better than last week. I feel a lot better. I am a lot more relaxed and I think I love what I am doing. Today I think the only regret I have was that I didn't do a test on my class V this morning. I did do it on my class II/III so I feel better.

I don't know about this

I wonder if I am the only one that feels like this sometimes. Today was a good experience but was also discouraging. Can I really do this? Am I ever going to be able to clean people's teeth? Am I going to graduate? am I going to pass the boards? I learned a lot today and I learned that I do not go interproximal enough. I did 4 quads of a class II today. I don't know if he was just a really hard class II or if I just suck-probably the later. My patient was awesome and really cooperative, but I wasn't doing as well as I would have liked. The instructor kept telling me I was doing great and was right where I should be, but I honestly feel like I should be able to do everything right the first time, but I have to remember that I am learning and that is why I am here. at least I didn't miss every spot just quite a few.
