Pre-Graduation Events

I decided with all the exciting things that have happened lately, I probably better catch up!
After passing Clinical Boards, I pretty much spent the rest of school finishing up with patients and completing all my requirements.  I also finished up my time working at the prison, which was more exciting than usual since a fight broke out between two prisoners one night we were there.  Dental School could probably most easily be described like High School, except I don't remember being so close with people in High School.  We really had a lot of fun as a class, and I'm amazed at how well we worked together and had each other's backs.

Out of all the pictures, I think this is the only one where you can actually see me!
I'm hiding up in the upper left-hand corner.

Along with finishing up school, I had plenty of time to spend with friends.  My friend Chase moved out to Omaha this last winter since he was stationed at the Offut Air Force base.  He offered to take me up flying, and we finally planned it the first Saturday of May.  We drove out to the base with another friend of ours, Ben.  Once we got up in the air Chase let us take a turn at flying, and he decided to show off a bit with some fancy moves like a stall, and some touch and go's.

A view from inside.  I took the back seat first, then traded off when we landed in Plattsmith.

Sadly enough, my stomach didn't tolerate Ben's erratic attempts at flying well.  We had a ward party that night involving Brats, sauerkraut, and sautéed onions which I had to pass on...  However, flying was a total blast!

Also, this is what else I did the last couple of months.  I went from half blonde, to all dark, back to almost entirely blonde again.  All in the space of just a few months.  For some reason I find this fun... don't ask.

Okay, I'm bored.  More updates and pictures later.
