Almost there... Can't believe it!

Wow... Only one more day of clinic left.

MIXED EMOTIONS.

Ready to be done.
I will miss it, too.

Today I saw my class III patient. Nice man. Funny man. His calculus was rock solid. He told me he was "tough as nails" and now I think I believe him. Luckily, Insctructor Vining is a champion and helped me quite a bit!! Thank goodness we're not on our own yet.

For my last day my brother danny will be coming! He's saving me. I still need a pano, and someone to air powder polish. My roommate volunteered. Do I dare let her volunteer for the air powder polisher??

:)

probably.

Thankful For Soon To Be Family!!

Last week I saw two darling little girls in my chair! Actually, in about a month they will be my new nieces!! They were so good, and really excited about all the cool tools I had to show them! I was worried that the younger one would be a little nervous and not cooperate, but she was fabulous, and they both did just great!!

Heidi, if you ever read this, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! I SOOO appreciate you coming all the way to Ogden to help my fill my requirements! Sorry I was so focused on getting the girls finished that we didn't get to chat much, but know that I just love you, and I think you're so great, and I'm super grateful that you did that wonderful service for me!! THANK YOU!!

Herpes--my worst nightmare...

Oh no. Today my class III pt. came in to finish. Something on his lip frightened me. To most, a "cold sore" is no big deal. To a dental hygiene student in the end of filling requirements at the end of a semester, this little guy is devastating! My instructor had to turn him away................. I didn't cry. But I wanted to. He said he wasn't coming back. I talked him into it.

Thank Goodness.
