We are finishing up our classwork and I have successfully passed all the classes and requirements to work on REAL patients in just a few short months. I will start working in the clinic July and will have two years of clinical experience by the time I graduate in June 2018. If you need any dental work just call the clinic and ask for me :)
On the personal side of things, I got engaged to my boyfriend of over seven years on December 20th 2015 and we have started our wedding planning for March of 2017! It's pretty exciting that I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel after living apart for over five years. While the details are stressful, we are really enjoying the planning process and getting excited to finally be married! Some people may ask, "Why March?" Well, dental school kind of dictates my life, so this is the only time I have a break that we can go on our honeymoon right after we get married. Ideal? no, but I'm still excited as can be!
According to my schedule, I will be learning how to administer anesthesia (numbing shots) in the next couple of weeks and learning different specialties that I'll encounter in clinic. After that I'm on to bigger and better things putting all my learning into practice! I am really excited to be able to put to practice all the things I've learned over the many years of my education and excited to be out of the classroom and into the clinic. Thankfully, I still love dentistry, and am so excited for the changes coming in the next few months!
