All most there.

Today was the last monday clinic for me EVER! It hasn't really sunk in yet. I am kind of just on auto pilot at this point. But I saw my little niece that is 4. She was born with at bi-lateral cleft lip and palate. She did a great job, but was very sensitive to anything being in her mouth. I felt really bad when she started to cry with my mirror in her mouth. But everything worked out ok and I took some intra-oral pictures that were pretty interesting.

LA Mock board pt

Today I was my peer pals LA mock board pt. It was a good experience and it really wasn't too bad. It wasn't the funnest thing I did today, but in general it was all right. I really hope my peer pal will be willing to do the same for me.

OH Yeah!

Today I saw my class 3 pt. and it was AWESOME! There was calculus everywhere...really really great. He was a great pt and everything went well. Surprising what a relief comes when all your requirements for 1st year are complete!

Follow the Light

There is finally a little bit of light at the end of this long dark hygiene tunnel. Today I had 2 quads of a class 3. It went great, and I really feel like I may be able to make it 2 and a half more weeks. After all of the challenges, I am starting really believe that all will work out. I know I know...o ye of little faith.

The Blazing Inferno ;..(

So the past few weeks I have been really struggling with all of my life callings...mommy, wife, work, and most of all SCHOOL! I have lost all motivation, and have cut back to strictly survival tasks. Sleep (a little), eat (a lot), and go to school (the most). I am so ready for a break, I can hardly stand it. Then to add to all of the goings on...we had a fire. Well not technically a true fire, but there was burn damage. Overnight the autoclave was left on...and our instruments were TOAST. I was the CA that day, and I feel horrible. There was a total miscommunication, and the end result was a bunch of crispy instruments. On one hand I feel responsible, and on the other I can recognize I was not the only factor in the equation. But lesson learned, and I am very grateful for my classmates kindness and understanding. I am also grateful that I will most likely never have to be the clinic CA again ;)
