Today in clinic we learn how to sit properly in our operator chairs and how to sit for each area in the mouth that we will scale. I was super confused at first when I just read the book because I really couldn't visualize all of it. Then we practiced it in clinic and it made more sense to me. I will obviously need way more practice but at least I have some idea of what I should be doing. I also passed of my first PE and I was way nervous I was sweating sooo much and my glasses kept fogging up. It was pretty intimidating standing up in front of Professor Costley and my class I barely know and telling all the stuff I had to but, I passed them off and I think I'll be less nervous next time.

First Day Jitters
So yesterday was my first official day of Dental Hygiene school...Wahoo. It feels like I've been waiting such a long time to start. The day was kind of crazy. I had clinic first thing in the morning and I wasn't sure what I was suppose to take to clinic so I just took everything...or so I thought I got to the locker room and realized I had left my lab coat in the car and my stethoscope and blood pressure cuff at home. Luckily we didn't need them. We learned and practiced a couple of process evaluations. It seems like alot to remember but not difficult stuff...at least so far. Today I had class and it was not as intimidating as I thought it would be. That was reassuring. I still am not sure that I really know what I'm suppose to be doing but, hopefully I'm figuring it out slowly but surely.

Now I'm really bloggin'
