My first working interview

Well I just went to my first working interview and I called DOPL to make sure that it was ok so I wasn't getting the dentist into trouble.
It was the craziest day. I showed up to the office an hour early so that I could look over the charts and kind of learn where things were at in the office.
After my first patient, which only had five teeth, I realized that an hour appointment is going to be ok. I was a little behind because I didn't know how to turn anything on and I didn't know where anything was even though the office had showed me everything, like I remember it all, I don't. So it just took a little while longer because I was running to find the assistants asking then a billion questions. I also had some crazy patients. One guy was in such a bad mood he wouldn't even stay for the dentist to do an exam, he just practically ran out of the office. And then another patient I saw gave himself acupunture with two 30 gauage needles right there in the chair so that he didn't have to get a shot. Which kind of defeats the purpose of not getting poked with a needle because he just poked himself with two needles so I really don't see how it is different but he did I guess!!
Over all it was a great experience even if I do not get the position and I got paid so that was cool too.

Has anyone taken the jurisprudence exam yet? and if so , How was it? Do I need to study?

Journal #20

The banquet last night was wonderful thanks so much to Jadee. Everyone looked so beautiful and Heather Turner did an awesome job singing a song that totally made me start crying.
The food was awesome , the awards were awesome. It was just a great night!!
All the way home last night, I kept saying to my husband, "I am so sad." It is so sad to think that some of us will probably never see each other again.

I know that each one of the girls / boys in dental hygiene has become my good friend and that I will miss every single person.
If you could see me right now, I am about to start crying and it is only 8:00 AM!!! A great way to start the day!!!

I know that I will keep blogging and I hope that everyone else does as well!!! It would be sad to loose the friendship that has become so strong over these past two years.

Some one needs to be put in charge of like a reunion or something. It would be so fun to see what everyone looks like and what everyone is up to in like 5 to 10 years.

*natalie just remember that commencment means a new beginning, not an ending!!
