So today we really didn't do much, we went over what to do if an emergency arises and what you do as a CA and how Taleval will work more next semester. Not to exciting, also we had our clinic manual test today and I don't think I did to bad I know I missed 1 for sure, oh well I just couldn't find it in the book but know what I was looking for. That sucked.

First real patient day!!! So today I worked on my first real patient! Thanks Matthew! I think things went pretty well except there was a lot of wasted time waiting for instructor checks which really sucked cause I could've gotten so much farther through the appointment if I didn't have to wait. Oh well I got what I needed done and thats good enough for me.

So today was second day of mock patient and it went so much better! I love instructor Hafen! She makes things seem so much more relaxed. She was very good about helping me and give good constructive criticism and in a way that she doesn't tick ya off.

Rough day! So today was my first day of mock patient and I was getting so frustrated! Not about how I was doing but some people just don't know when they are making things worse and don't know when to back off! Seriously I just wanted to say either back off or you're going to get punched in the face! Lets hope wednesday goes better!

Today Heidi finished me as mock patient and she did really well again, which what else can you expect from some who works so hard. The only thing that hurt was the instructor checks and when she slipped and had a little tissue trauma goin on, which really wasn't much cause by the time clinic was over it wasn't even sensitive anymore, just more jaw was sore from staying open so long. I also passed of my instrument sharpening and the all awesome Heidi let me borrow her mini manual to copy over the weekend which I am so grateful! Thanks Heidi!

So today I passed off my  sealants and again something so simple becomes so difficult for me. I always miss one spot and have to redo it! So frustrating! But its Done and Heidi was a good sport about it. Thanks Heidi!
