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.

First Day back

YES- Today we are back. I am so glad that we were able to do an OD on each other today I know that it will totally help. I am a little exited to start but I am a little nervous. I just want it to come.

I am so frustrated

This is rediculous. I wanted professor mcconaughy to look at a chart for me because I felt like it needed to be changed. Last wednesday I asked her to look at it with me fast. It literally would have taken 2 minutes, but she said to me " I can't do this righ now because it is my lunch time so I will look at it later" I wasn't sure what to do because I thought she was very rude about the entire thing and why couldn't you wait for me for two minutes and help me out. She said leave it on the instructor table and I will do it when I get back. Well obviously she didn't do that because the next day she came and asked me where the chart was. I told her she had told me to leave it on the table and that she was going to look at it after lunch. She said okay and said she would go look at it. Well as of today she still hadn't said anything to me about it and I was worried because all week I have looking for the chart. So I e-mailed her to see if she had the chart because it had the two yellow forms for my class II test and it is my dietary analysis patient. Finally she sees me this morning and asks if I have found it. I said no and I had look four times it the last name and the first name. SHe doesn't even care that it is lost and now I am going to miss 100 point in DH class becasue she lost the chart. I don't know what to do. I am so mad. I am mad first because she wouldn't give me the time of day and the entire year she hasn't anyways, and I am mad becasue she lost the chart and she doesn't even help me find it and says it is my problem to find it. Well, maybe she should take resposibilty for her actions and not doing what she said she would in the first place!!!

Okay

Well I haven't blogged in forever, but I am now done with my class II patients and I am extatic about that. I am so excited for the semester to end. I hope it goes by fast. All I have to do for requirments is 4 quads of a class III. I am doing one on Monday and then I am seeing a IB because I have 64 quads and need 65. Then one Wednesday I am seeing a patient that has 3 quads of a class III. I am nervous to do all of it in that little of time, but when that is your only option there isn't much you can do about it. I hope I pass and I think I will I just am ready for a break and I hope that I come back in the fall. Just kidding, but I think it will be hard.
