So, my first week of school is over with and i'm ALREADY feeling overwhelmed. On our first day back we learned that clinic starts monday. wasn't counting on that happening. We have a wonderful new schedule. Since we had a super long summer and are having a long christmas break we have to squeeze everything in. Mondays we will have 5 appointment times and we'll be there for about 12 hrs. Tuesdays won't be much different, except that we'll have a little break in between classes. However, wednesdays(two patients) and thursdays(two classes) will mostly be half days. The good thing in all of it is that we have fridays off all the time.
Thursday we learned how to place a sealant-and tuesday we'll have a competency on it...after doing it once...on a tooth planted in plaster. I'm trying not to freak out but its REALLY hard. I've moved to beeville since the gas prices are a little high...and since i will pretty much be living at school. So thats what will be going on with me this semester.
A couple of randoms:
*I read the twilight series this summer and loved it. i cant wait until the movie comes out!
*One of my very bestest friends (ASHLEY!) in the whole world is getting married to a pretty cool guy (ADAM!) on January 3rd.
*I have the cutest nephew in the whole world.
*I love chicken salad, peach tea, eating vanilla yogurt with cut up peaches in it, coffee, butter pecan creamer, cheeseburgers, laughing until tears come out, wearing flip flops, being blonde, reuniting with good friends, watching cheesy movies/shows and laughing at them, little hot sandwiches, ranch dressing, avacado, peanut butter, rosemary and olive oil triscuits. and most importantly--YOU!
sealants get easier (sort of). first they get harder (add a squirmy 8 year old with lots and lots of saliva), and then you get used to it... you'll do great! and 12 hours in clinic is brutal. and i've been meaning to tell you, the hygienist i work with graduated from coastal bend. have a great week!!
i work for a general dentist (he calls it, "family and cosmetic") who runs a private practice here in San Antonio. I love it! There are definite ups and downs to learning what a dentist wants from a hygienist, as well as the calls he makes that you won't agree with-- but for me, I know this job is just for the next few years. Then, I'll have a built-in boss, and wherever Reagan and I end up, you should come too- I know we'll need good hygienists!!
*i took all my finals and ended up with an all a semster. i wont lie...i was pretty excited about it.
*went up to Wichita Falls to see the most awesome little boy
*i chopped about 10 inches of my hair off. but i couldnt donate it due to the dye.
*went to Hondo(ish) with some awesome people for memorial day
*bought WAY too many groceries and witnessed some type of crime at the Hondo HEB
*decided to start running again
*rediscovered Blue Bell vanilla ice cream
*bought a plane ticket to Jacksonville, FL to see Sarah T. get married.
*bought 4 new pairs of shoes
*bought a silly zebra print dress
*got a pano. x-ray done and made an appointment to have my wisdom teeth removed
*went to a Corpus Christi Hooks baseball game
*did a lot of other random stuff...but those are the highlights
In the month of July:
*going to Jacksonville
*celebrating my dad's birthday
*celebrating my birthday
*going to Centerville for Ashley's weddin
*getting my wisdom teeth removed
*gettin ready to go to Philadelphia
*possibly a trip to Houston
*registering for the fall semester of my LAST YEAR of college!
so that's what i've been up to and what i WILL be up to in the upcoming weeks. this should do for a while
it's too bad we won't be together on your birthday...but just a couple of days before. we'll have to celebrate! :) I love you and can't wait to see you!
we played volleyball last night, and on the 1st volley the ball landed between ashley and brad and she said "well i didn't wanna break your toe!"
it was hilarious :)
