HAPPY BIRTHDAY ASHLEY!!!!!!!


i hope you have a wonderful day! i miss you and i love you!

so...its been a while since my last post. sorry but im a busy little girl.

Registered for my WREB(clinical board) and National board( written part) a couple of weeks ago. thats about 1200 dollars that i hope is worth it! This semester is just flying by. i know its still february but still. national boards are next month the week after spring break. and then we've got easter break in april...then WREB and then finals...and FINALLY graduation! im just so excited to be done with school and not have to study. i know i will still be busy but it will be a different kind of busy. i wont have to come home and wonder what quizzed i've got the next day and what test i have to study for next. i cant wait not not have stress in my life...well, school stress anyway.

I'm still not fully decided on what i'm doing after graduation. i think i want to work in general dentistry. but i little tiny part of me wants to work in pediatrics. i know its crazy working with kids...but from my experience so far i am way less worn out after having a squirmy child in my chair than when i am working with a perfectly cooperative adult. i am 95% sure that i will be going to the college station area...sometimes i'm still not sure, but when people ask me what i want to do after i graduate, i tell them i'm not too sure but i think i'm gonna move to college station...deep down i think i've already made my decision, i'm just going to have to close my eyes and jump....so to speak.

Happy birthday JOOOOOEEEEEL!!!!!!!!!!!


love,
your friendly dental hygienist

So, my first week of school is over with and i'm ALREADY feeling overwhelmed. On our first day back we learned that clinic starts monday. wasn't counting on that happening. We have a wonderful new schedule. Since we had a super long summer and are having a long christmas break we have to squeeze everything in. Mondays we will have 5 appointment times and we'll be there for about 12 hrs. Tuesdays won't be much different, except that we'll have a little break in between classes. However, wednesdays(two patients) and thursdays(two classes) will mostly be half days. The good thing in all of it is that we have fridays off all the time.

Thursday we learned how to place a sealant-and tuesday we'll have a competency on it...after doing it once...on a tooth planted in plaster. I'm trying not to freak out but its REALLY hard. I've moved to beeville since the gas prices are a little high...and since i will pretty much be living at school. So thats what will be going on with me this semester.

A couple of randoms:

*I read the twilight series this summer and loved it. i cant wait until the movie comes out!
*One of my very bestest friends (ASHLEY!) in the whole world is getting married to a pretty cool guy (ADAM!) on January 3rd.
*I have the cutest nephew in the whole world.

*I love chicken salad, peach tea, eating vanilla yogurt with cut up peaches in it, coffee, butter pecan creamer, cheeseburgers, laughing until tears come out, wearing flip flops, being blonde, reuniting with good friends, watching cheesy movies/shows and laughing at them, little hot sandwiches, ranch dressing, avacado, peanut butter, rosemary and olive oil triscuits. and most importantly--YOU!
