And then Life changes again

Here it is one week from our Arizona trip where we are road tripping with stops to the Grant Canyon to Phoenix so I can take the Jurisprudence exam and I can then be licensed in AZ. Well Yesterday I got a call from an office I haven't heard from since June about a possible full time job and they would like to interview me. I did the interview today ( I'm assuming it went well because...) which then led to a working interview half day tomorrow.  Now I'm thinking I may get this job and we may not be able to go to AZ. To continue I then get a call from yet another dental office that would like me to discuss a possible full time position in Taylorsville, UT. I call back with, to my dismay, no answer and suggest a possible interview for tomorrow before my half day. This then meaning if I get this Job I will not be able to go to AZ next week either. So it's looking like I'm not supposed to go to Arizona for the moment........ but if I don't get "these" jobs.... I can't tell you how fast I'm going to be RUNNING TO ARIZONA! lol.

Temping is fun but it's not as full filling as getting to know the patients in your personal hygiene room, with YOUR favorite instruments. I hope I get hired soon because my dreams of going to foreign countries and working cross continental seem so far away I hope that everything works out the way it should... Pause for Prayer :P

Well until the next time I write.... See ya :) 

Another day another Dollar back from vacation

Hello! so last time I posted I hadn't looked into my crystal ball and saw all the temp jobs I've been getting!

It's awesome I love walking into an office and knowing exactly what to do and know that people appreciate me for it! :) I had to turn down a few jobs due to my awesome Vacation in MINNESOTA! But it was definitely worth it. But while we're on the subject I want to tell ya about my trip!

Now I know what your thinking how can Minnesota be a fun vacation well It was the best because I got to really bond with my husband's family and we were out in the sun everyday and all day. We were able to get a cabin for the week right by the lake and enjoy the simple things in life like fishing (I caught 2!), wake boarding, swimming across the lake twice all by myself, paddle boating, kayaking, learning/playing tennis, visiting Mall of America, laying out by the pool, gourmet dinners every night Thanks to my Mother in Law Rosie ( I LOVE YOU!), Ice cream almost every night before bed, and in general being with the family and can't forget bowling. Wow it was one of the best family vacations I've taken ever. It was so good to see family from all over the world and getting to spend good time with everyone.

So here I am now Temping away, lol actually sitting here since my SRP patient no showed on me so I thought I'd update the good old blog. I will say this I had an anesthesia opportunity yesterday and I can't tell ya how much I missed those instructors saying "ok angle here this way, ok I see, stop there, I see, PERFECT!" It was ... well nerve racking but both patients got numb so I guess I did it right but I did go home and read up just one more time so I don't get nerves again :)

Well I better get back! Signing off for now :)

I'm graduated and licensed now what do I do? :)

So here I am on the old Blog, I'm actually happy to have time to sit down and write a little about what's happened. Graduation was awesome and better than I thought, even the banquet dinner had major surprises I received two incredible wards  that I never in a million years would have guessed, Society of Periodontology and Alpha Beta Sigma Phi Dental Hygiene. Wow that was amazing! It felt good I was getting my confidence back slowly but surely.

After all the parties and goodbyes my husband and I have moved into the G-ma's house to figure out where we are going. We are still pretty set on Arizona but I've been looking at jobs here and we decided if I get a job here in Utah then there isn't a need to move. I'm happy I have my license all together but I've had a hard time trying to get my license in other places. It's either you need to travel there for the test or you need to schedule out time to take the exam in a proctor setting. Then you must pay that extra fee to the proctors and it becomes boards all over again lol. But I'm set on getting my license in Arizona and one other state before it's been a year.

As for the job searching I'm so happy to hear my fellow classmates are doing so well, but I on the other hand, have tempted here and there and had 4 interviews, passed out a hundred resumes, and made business cards to pass out to everyone I know and still no Job. It's getting discouraging watching all the Arizona Jobs breeze by while I'm stuck here with no job and no life.

I've turned my woes to the library for entertainment and bliss which has been alright for the most part but I must tell you about this new adventure I'm going to try. I came across this book that I think has changed my life and perspective on a lot of things. It's titled MWF Seeking BFF: My Yearlong Search For A New Best Friend by Rachel Bertsche, It's such a wonderful "pick me up' for those of us who are married, over twenty, and feeling like our life is over because are girlfriends are non-existent. After reading I decided that what she was saying was true that if I want new friends and I want to find a BFF for the years to come I need to get out there more and search out friends. So that's my new goal these days... lol I have even put this to practice by introducing myself to my Zumba instructor  and I was shocked when she actually asked my name and started talking to me. Ha Ha just trying to break out of the Shy Shell I guess. I feel like this would be a good blog topic and I'm going to start updating on progress here and then it will remind me to kick my butt and blog more :) as for now I'm off to hang out with an already current friend to tell her my plan and see if I can make this a reality. Bye for now :)

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!
