I am in total shock right now.... I'm not sure if I'm supposed to cry? laugh? jump for joy? Complete and utter shock.
All I can say is if I passed I owe it all to my peer pal and this awesome binder passed down with all the reviews that Weber has had since 2000! I reviewed that thing right before I walked in and BEHOLD! some of the questions I had not even thought to study were on that test! PHEW! way to go binder! Now hopeful I mastered the test on the questions I was confident in. Wow I'm done.... One down and four to go :)

Different Title... Same blog
So of course as all of my fellow dental hygiene ladies I will be blogging about mockboards..
All I can say is I did not do as well as anticipated 6 spots, two quads wow! I can't say I'm very happy about this but I learned a valuable lesson. Perry gave me some great tips and I'm going to share them.
Tip one: after you have scaled your life out go over one last time with the ultrasonic on low, even if you don't want to.
Tip two: after your done stand up stretch! crack your hands, shake it out and wash your hands, then sit down and polish and floss.
Tip three: once your done polishing and flossing, shake your hands out, get on the opposite side that you usually scale on ( right hand go left, left hand go right) and then take the explorer and feel from the opposite side. Because if you have been scaling from a certain direction the whole time then you may miss the clicks going the other way. Interesting huh?
So to answer Perry yes, I learned a heck of a lot today, was it the best day ever NO! but eh I guess you win them and lose them. The ultimate goal is to finish dental hygiene and graduate, as long as I do that I'm happy!
So that's all I'm done talking about mockboards, now to move on to better things! :)

Not enough time!
I'm going crazy looking at my schedule because I have no time for clinic! Every morning I don't have a patient and then I see a class 5 or 1B that doesn't help me with requirements :( I also have no time to schedule patients back due to Mockboards and trying to find them.. Can I just say overwhelmed!
Well anyways I had a hard class two for the afternoon and I only got to one quad due to timing and lots of mobility in the lower anteriors and trying to scale was difficult. I missed one spot on number 31 distal and Perry showed me something very interesting he took my anterior sickle scaler ( not the Nebraska) and taught me ho to apply it the the distal line angle on the lingual. WOW! I never thought about that before and he said he did it occasionally. There are still so many tricks I haven't learned sometimes I want to stay in school and have them teach me more, But leave the requirements out Ha ha :)
Well I think that's all I can really blog right now lol so I don't go into a ranting rage of sadness and worry about WREB boards and that I'm struggling so until next time ... hopefully it's better news :)

First Week back, could it be more awful?
OK now I understand the first week is hard but I had a ton of extra perks to go along with it,
Tuesday was great I taught my first class, .. little bumps here and there but left with a sore throat.
Wednesday was VA clinic and to continue I had no voice in the morning and a runny nose. Not to mention my patients were a 1B and Class 5 so I feel like I have wasted so much time because I so slow trying to remember where everything is. Well I get home exhausted and find that my dog's face has blown up like a balloon and we don't know why? So we pop her a Benadryl and call it a night because I am beyond tired.
Thursday I get to have the pleasure of clinic again with a extremely runny nose and now a banging headache. My patient in the morning cancelled so I saw thankfully Stefanie's patients daughter... what do you know another 1B grrr. Well I continue on and I'm really excited for my afternoon because in 2006 she was a class 4! Sweet I'm so excited until she shows up and I look at the Xrays.... that midtown had gotten too before I could take them grr! Then Professor Perry very brutally crashes my dreams and tells me she should have never been a class 4 to begin with! NOOO! yet again another Class 5 but I think if I finish her fast I can get someone else in... but that becomes impossible becuase she failed to tell me she had a knee joint replacement and she didn't know she had to pre-med. LOL so after she showed up at 1:00pm I now get to wait out another hour LOL. Well I go home and find my dog is still a balloon head so I have to call my sister and hopefully she can drive us to the vet because no car for me. I finally get there and they give my dog even more medicine, a blood test that was random, and still not a clear diagnoses except " She may have an allergy," all fo rthe price of $120.00 dollars. Well by that time I'm even more exhausted starving and my husband finds me again asleep on the couch with my huge headache, cough, and runny nose. Not my week eh? well it keeps going...
Friday I get up give the dog medicine shower, clean, and run to the shuttle which is normally vacant but I find today there is a line for the shuttle all the way to UV dorms to go to school. Man! I'm going to be late for the screening but I have to try because running to school won't get me there any faster. So I wait in line feeling worthless when finally one of the bigger shuttles pulls up. So I race on and hope to make it to school on time. I just barely make it when of course they have started talking earlier and I'm lucky to have caught the last instructions. I figure people can fill me in on the way and I catch a ride with Tanya. The screenings went really well, besides the coughing and wheezing, but the kids were cute and I felt like I was truly helping. After I had my lunch of a fruit cup and then we were off again to the SADHA meeting. Man I hope I didn't look as miserable as I felt. I could barely breathe and I had such a hoarse voice that Dr. Hanson commented that I was a woman of the night lol. Although it was an excellent meeting I was extremely tired and in need of medicine and a good bed. Dr. Hanson then met with us for SL and finally I was able to get a ride home from the amazing Kayla and get semi rest. My pup was still out of it so I figured I'd let her out and then we could both sleep on the couch until my husband got home. So nitequil here I come, but of course my dog can't sit still and needs to run around 24/7; I don't get to rest I get to play for two hours with her and make sure she doesn't happen to have an accident on my floor as well as I'm feeling the drowsy euphoria of the medicine that is making me even more sick YUCK! Finally to my rescue Nate comes home and I can rest in piece. He was awesome! He walked in with take out, fed me, and sent me to bed...lol wow what a week...
So long story that wasn't quite so short, I'm back in business today reading and doing homework, hopefully the whole semester isn't like this :P wouldn't that be awful?
