Update
I guess I owe it to the livejournal world to update since its been many months.
So many things have happened since I last wrote in here I dont even know where to start.
I graduate in a little over 2 months, and I am really excited yet kind of scared to start another chapter in my life. I know it will also be bittersweet, since I know that many of the great people I met here in my 5 years I will most likely not see again.
I will really miss the atmosphere, the freedom, the independence, the good times, the fraternity, my friends in my class and I think most of all my professors. Most all of my professors have really touched my life, and have helped me so much, and were always there for me more as a friend more than just a teacher. I never had any teachers like that at all and it just meant so much to me and made everything seem so much better all the time when I felt down.
Currently I am busy registering and preparing for 5 board exams.. which kind of sucks and is horrifically scary but I think I will make it thru it ok.
I am also turning in my application for graduation!
I am very sad that this year I will be unable to attend Province V Assembly, due to the fact my national board exam is the tuesday after. Its hard to believe that I may have to give up my officer position but we will see what I can do. It was kind of my link to stay active in the fraternity after graduation.
Spring break is about a week and a half away, and its hard to believe that I will already be taking alot of my stuff home for good. I dont even want to think about how much packing all this stuff up will suck, but I am looking forward to possibly getting my own place soon, maybe a year or so after I graduate and I will already have a little bit of furniture that I can use.
This semester of classes has been semi easy so far, except for clinic which is weird because it is normally one of my more easier classes and I usually enjoy it. But so far I have had really tough patients, and I have felt so frustrated and emotional. My grades are not that great in there right now, but I keep working hard at it.. and my teachers keep assuring and reassuring that having all these hard patients will make it that much easier for me to do well on my board.. better than alot of other classmates that arent getting the harder patients.
I believe them.
Local anesthesia is probably my favorite class! We learned how to give 8 different injections and just today I learned how to administer nitrous oxide. That stuff is great, I felt so relaxed on it haha! And my crazy teacher kept trying to make me laugh while I was on it.. she disco danced in front of me and then kept waving her hands in my face haha!
Community dentistry kind of sucks, there are many projects that we are doing and takes up alot of time but I am almost done with the projects so im glad.
After Feb 27th my local anesthesia class will be over with and I will have more time to study for boards. I cant believe i have one in a month.. and i hardly feel ready for it.. im so scared!!
Like I said tho.. i am ready for spring break.. i will have much time to study since i am only working a few days and i will have time to relax and hang out with ana. She got me hooked to a new video game called champions of norath or something like that.. it rocks haha!
I heard from my mom that work is really bad.. they are losing two more people and there arent enough people to cover all the stations and so she is going nuts.. i know she cant wait til i can come home.. but i was recently home maybe 3 weeks ago and I worked a saturday 9 hour and we did 300 scripts.. i thought i was going to shoot myself. I was with one other person and the rph.. and the other person that was with me was brand new employee that week. So she was stuck at the counter and i counted and typed 300 scripts by myself.. even when i walked in saturday morning there was a stack of baskets 2 feet high from the night before because they couldnt catch up.
Ugh.. what a stressful place anymore.. its so not worth my time and i hope i can find some kind of work soon after i graduate so i dont have to work at cvs as much.
Well I think this is all i have time for to update on right now.. and so i will update another time.. but prolly not for a long time or maybe even after i graduate.
Peace everyone!
