Reprimanded...

Okay, so I realize that I haven't written on here in forever, and I actually was reprimanded for this! Yeah, my bad. Ha ha. Well we started working in the clinic last week, which has been a whole new adventure of craziness! Yes, I am now allowed to schedule my own patients, bring 'em in, numb them up, and do some dentistry! Awesome, right? Well it is exciting, but also very frustrating considering all the hoops you have to jump when you are in clinic. The actual dental work is not all that intimidating. We have been practicing that stuff for two years now. It is all the other stuff that comes with working with a real person, as well as an institution. So today a bunch of us went to lunch, and we basically just told all our horror stories from the day. It was pathetic. The worst part is the fact that none of these horror stories had to do with the patient. It was all related to a professor who scared the crap out of us, or some issue with the computer system, or some problem trying to find materials... Bleh.

Okay, well I must say that I am totally enjoying dental school. I have a love/hate relationship with it, and right now I love it.
