Pimps in the House....

SIR REAL and D-LISH came to the Halloween party today! And let me tell you... they were stylin'... to say the least! I have never laughed so HARD in my whole entire life! Every time I would just look at Kelsey I would bust up laughing, she was hilarious and the perfect MACK-DADDY pimp! Hanson did not even recognize who we were, which really made it even better! I will never forget how freaking hot it was in those costume, with the fake mustache and goatee, chest hair and purple velvet suit! Thanks Kelsey for being my partner in crime and for making this years Halloween the BOMB! I love you girl, and I am so glad to call you my friend! It is awesome that we can take time to have fun and relax in such a time consuming, stressful program! Life is good... especially as a Pimp! :)

It's Almost HALLOWEEN.....

HALLOWEEN is coming in a few days... and let me just tell you, it is one of my favorite holidays! I love it... I think I like it so much because this is also my favorite time of year! I love FALL! So me and Kelsey are dressing up this year together and we have been planning our costumes for weeks now! I am excited to finally put it all together and actually dress up! It is a pain however when you have an idea for something, yet you cannot figure out how to do it, or you have to go to TEN stores to find a specific item! But it will all be worth it in the end! Can't wait!
Today I had my mid-semester meeting with Alexander... I think it went pretty well. I just cannot believe how fast the semester is going! Time sure does fly when you are having FUN!!! Anyway, life is good... Trick or Treat!

Mockboards

So Mockboards were a couple weeks ago... but since I have forgotten about this blog, I feel that I should still write about it. Mockboards was a very interesting, educational and confidence stealer! So if you haven't seen my mockboards patients x-rays... you are missing out! There were HUGE chunks of calculus! I have done pretty well all semester and have been feeling pretty good about myself. So I had the confidence I needed going into this mockboard... however it was taken away, because I obviously did not have the skill level required to remove those huge chunks of calculus! I did not do nearly as well as I wanted or thought I would. BUT... I learned a lot from this experience. I WILL NOT have calculus like that ever again for mockboards or boards for that matter... it is not necessary! Someone will smaller clicks will qualify and not set me up for another disappointing day! I also learned that I am still not sure how calculus feels! What the crap??? I really thought I got it all! Oh well... I can only go up from here! I learned what is expected of me, how the paper work works, and what kind of patient NOT to get! I still believe life is good... :)

Blogging...

So I seem to have forgotten about my blog. But then again, I have been forgetting a lot of things this semester! What is wrong with my BRAIN???? Last week, totally almost lost my Americorps money due to not completing my Exit Packet! What the crap? How did I forget to do that? Luckily I filled it out in time, so I will receive my much needed money! Then today I was at the VA, my last patient I finished right before the Doctor came in to do the exam... well I am used to having to wait for the Doctors for quite a long time, so it kind of threw me when he was there right after I was done flossing. So he did the exam, I went ahead and placed the fluoride and walked my patient out to leave. I walked back, started talking to instructor Katie and all of the sudden realized... I DIDN'T GET MY FINAL SCALE CHECK!!! What am I doing??? Well my patient was gone by this point, and therefore a scale check was not going to be happening. Pretty stupid of me. Luckily my patient was a VERY easy class V, and the doctor said "Everything looked really good!" Anyway I feel like an airhead lately!!! Seriously. Then tonight I started preparing for my mid-semester meeting with Alexander tomorrow morning... all of the sudden realized... I have only TWO blog entries for the year! For REAL???? What is wrong with me? Then I proceed to look at emails, and wouldn't you know it... Alexander sent an email just about the blogs! I am dead tomorrow! Haha. I am making a goal right now... I will finish my blog entries before the last two weeks of the semester. I will pass the required total of 14 and I will make an honest effort to really get out of the blogging what is intended... critical thinking! :)
I am however REALLY enjoying Senior year! And life is good... even without a brain! :)
