Life Update

Ooooh yes, we have approached that familiar mark where I have lost the desire to stick with it, and have completely forgotten about my blog, hahaha. (Sort of true, and sort of I just haven't been able to think of anything good enough to write about!)
BUT, the time has finally come! I hope you're as excited as I am!!

Well folks, I'm back in school. Yep, that's right, I Aubrey Fritz am a second year university student. (WAHOO! How good does that sound?!) It's week 4 in my Dental Assisting program... here is a list of what I've learned so far...

1) To floss properly, not just my own, but OTHER HUMANS teeth.

2) To put on a dental dam... I know I know, "that horrible blue piece of balloon that suffocates you and gets spit all over your face" well get over it. It's keeps you from swallowing pieces of teeth during fillings, and from gagging on all the instruments we're putting in your mouth! PLUS I'm way good at it and I promise to give you the saliva ejector before we start!

3) That I am a size M in latex and vinyl gloves, but a S in nitral ones. (Surprised? So was I !)

4) That I was not wrong when I predicted that wearing scrubs everyday would be the best. thing. ever. Seriously, who wouldn't want to wear PAJAMAS to work?!

5) To understand what the dentist means when he starts saying things like, "We have a lingual class 5 composite on the 2-2" or "We'll need an amalgam MOD on the 1-6" (This is probably what I'm most excited for... I just feel so professional with my little dentition chart and clipboard!)

Overall, I would say things are going pretty well. I've learned lots of cool stuff, and survived my first midterm. My relationship with school has been mostly good news so far... let's hope it stays that way !

So, the one, non-Sunday, day that I don't spend in school, I spend at work. Which sucks because not only do I feel totally out of the loop there, but it leaves be no free days. Although this is the same situation I was in last year, it somehow seems worse now. I just have to keep in mind that in June I will have a CAREER that I LOVE and it makes it all worth while !

Other than that, I'd say my life is pretty uneventful ! (surprising with all my free time these days huh?) I promise to keep the posts coming!

Until next time ! Happy flossing =)
