Here it is!!!

 I consider this Friday the last day I can call my self a student because I have completed all requirements, I have been CA for an extra day for fun, I have gone into work because I have nothing else to do, and I have given my last project to Professor Alexander. Wow.. I never thought I would make it to this day, where all I have to do is be a grown up now. How scary it is to not have a plan for the next year when school is done. I remember always thinking get a little summer job and then it's back to school with the friends, the work study job, and hard work ahead for two semesters. I'm so very proud of our class, it seems like through out all odds you can accomplish everything and anything.
Today I ponder on my last days at Weber State, and soon to be last days in Utah for a while. We are moving to Arizona as a new adventure but I still wonder about future plans and where life will lead me. My husband is doing so well in his job and working so hard it's amazing how people cope after 21 years of formal education.

I know this will be the best and I hope we all keep in touch.. :)

Last day of Perio Class :(

I can't say that after the Welcome meeting I wasn't envious of the soon to be seniors, they get to stay and play with friends and now it's my time to grow up and lose all of mine.
    School is so funny how you make connections with others that you may have never met in your life but you become friends because of these shared stresses and trials.  I am so grateful for all my experiences here, I may have complained along the way and stressed on little things that were, but a small moment in my life, but I am truly sad to not be able to see these girls daily.

  After I graduate I will temping for a while around Utah before we move to Arizona so I will have time to say good bye to family and friends but I can't say that I have very many now that my life has been consumed by Dental Hygiene. I hope that I won't be too sad the day of graduation but be happy that everyone has done the best and grown so much. I hope that everyone stays in touch and is able to help each other in this time of infrequent jobs, and sparatic schedules.  I'm excited to have an eternal summer for a while until I decided to move on in school and I can't leave without expressing my sincere gratitude to all my Professors who have helped me grow in my life as well. Five years I have been here at the Weber State Hygiene Program with two years in the Program, it's sad but time to move on.......

I'm Graduating with no confidence

So Clinic today was really awful! I am supposed to be really fast but two 1B always fluster me. Also to make things worse they are both my little sisters who hate getting their teeth cleaned because it really hurts. Man alive I should never clean family again because you feel so sad that they are hurting but you know if you don't just get it done and clean them their tissues will never get better. Well I rushed and was flustered and finished my last PE's ran home got my sisters lunch, rushed back to clinic set up as fast as I could and then saw my Dad for the last time. Again don't clean family you always feel so bad to hurt them so of course you miss things that you would not normally miss. And when it comes to lateral pressure I'm SUCH A WIMP! I wish I could be like our instructors sit down and just pop them off in two secs. GRRR I need to improve on speed and strength I hope when I graduate I have understanding Dentists.

So that was my heart break but i do have to say my Birthday stressed along with everything so next time I feel like it would be wise to skip a birthday I will. SHEESH I'm tired... off to PJ's and a Movie..

A week that went by in a flash

Wow this week went by to fast, I can't believe I have to go to clinic tomorrow. I'm excited but at the same time I'm worried that patients are not going to show up. :( I wish all this stress could be over. You would think after boards I would be loving life but I'm really worried about finishing requirements. This year I would have to say has been the hardest year for me to swallow. I don't think I've worked this hard in school than now. The funny thing is I may look back on this in twenty years and say ... oh no you went through so many other things lol. Oh gees well I should sign off and not complain but I'm nervous for tomorrow hope things work out :) Later!

Aww where have the days gone...

So today is an Ok day I'm just writing my last papers for the end of this semester. I am so worried to graduate, I wish i could do more and ensure patients come in and are aware that if they don't come in it's my grade YIKES! I want to not be stressed anymore. :(

You just can't trust a patient no matter if you confirm with them twice

So I'm kinda mad, my patients are so lame, why can't a Class 4 come in when they are supposed too? and then my morning patient was the hardest class three I've ever seen and I missed so many spots! How am I ever going tp passed Clinical boards next week? everything is just coming so fast I hardly feel like I have improved a great deal from patient to patient. GRR I'm just so mad today I better not write anymore before I start ranting for an hour.

Next week is the big week,
wish me luck

CLINIC MADNESS!

Wow so today my two kids are a half an hour late and both need Xrays (conventional to take to there doctor's office) and they are late filling out their health histories and that made me late,  The Mom wanted all sealants, The Mom wouldn't leave her kids so I could get work done, HUGE THANKS TO Michelle, Leigh, Brooke, Jodie, Emily, Karen, and Kayla( ha ha thanks for the Lab coat) Because this day would not have got done without them.
I found a board patient and did three quads of a class three. I'm extremely tired and exhausted, I didn't get lunch, I finished my LA requirements, I gave good injections, and that is the END!
