Happy Halloween!

Today is Halloween, and we dressed up...well most of us anyways. We had class, then we had a Halloween party with both the Jr's and the Sr's. Time is really going by fast, and I am enjoying getting to know all of the other girls in my class.

Selective Polishing

Today we used our handpieces and it was great. I am familiar with it, so it was nice to be able to just go through the practice and be done. We are also caught up on all our PE's and that is a nice feeling. The semester is winding down, and I am glad for that. It has gone by fast, and that is good too!

Practice, Practice, Practice

Today was a good day for practice. We worked with the Barnhart and the Nebraska and I am feeling much better about the Barnhart. I think that was just a weird day. Today in radiology we took a practical test, and it went well. Things are going well, it is crazy this is the last week of October!

Darn Barnhart

Today we used the Barnhart, and it is going to take some getting used to! Clinic went well, but I am going to need some extra practice with this one! This week is another test week...anatomy is done and went well, BUT hygiene is coming up later this week so I better get studying for that one!

Scaling

Today was our second day of scaling, and it is really fun. Sounds weird, but very true. I still need to practice indirect vision, but I am feeling more and more comfortable with it.

Radiology

Radiology is going well. I really enjoy Professor McConaghy (even though I can't spell her last name). I am also glad to have some experience taking x-rays. My years as a dental assistant have really helped in making dental hygiene school more familiar...in some ways.

Dis-gusting...I mean DISCLOSING!

Just kidding, it wasn't really too bad. It was interesting, and even though my PFI% was horrible, it was a good day in clinic.

Intra and charting

Today in clinic we passed off our intra-oral PE and worked on charting. Pretty darn fun! And I am glad to report that the air conditioning IS fixed! Turns out I won't have to wear my bikini-which is a VERY good thing! That would just gross out a lot of people!!!
