Today was my first day in the program. I was super excited but a little nervous too. I had no idea what to expect. You hear all of the horror stories about the program and I have been anxious all summer to get started. My schedule started by having clinic as the first thing I went to. I was happy about that! I feel like I have been going to college for 3 years now and most of the classes I have taken I will not use on a daily basis for my career. I am glad that I am now starting to learn what I really need to know.
We started out by meeting in the instructor area and go over what we would do for the day. Professor Costley also showed us the software the clinic uses. I am used to Dentrix so it was a little different but overall pretty self explanatory. We were able to get our drawers and move in all of our instruments and supplies. This made me feel like I am really doing it!!! I was so happy. I am finally achieving what I have worked so hard for.
Since my schedule is such that I have Monday afternoons off I felt like I would have a pretty easy day, boy was I wrong. I pulled out all of the homework needed for the week and was a bit surprised to see how many chapters I have to read. I spent my afternoon working through all of this and am still not done!! I guess I better get used to it.
My first mistake was also made today. I realized hours after I left the campus that I left my drawer key in my lab coat....UGH!!! Lets pray it is still there in the morning.........
