First Day of Clinic!!

Wow....I can't believe I actually finished my first day of clinic in the dental hygiene program.  It is kind of surreal...I have seen so many other people I know go through the program, but it is crazy to think that it is finally my turn!..It's about freaking time, is all I have to say to that :)

I walked into clinic this afternoon all ready in my scrubs, bright white shoes, lab coat, and my hair pulled back, ready to take on this new chapter in my life. My pod group is awesome. We rely on each other already, as a support group, and I love it.  My unit is all organized and ready for Wednesday, which makes me feel so professional...I love all of my shiny new instruments!  It makes me feel like a RDH already.  And the tour of the clinic was so so so helpful, now I don't feel like a complete stranger in my new home for the next 2 years. 

I think one of best parts of the day was talking about our "first kiss" and "most embarrassing moment". I was cracking up at a few of them...let just say I will ALWAYS make sure I don't have day old underwear hanging out of my jeans! ha ha I am so glad that wasn't my story. I am so excited for this upcoming semester, year, 2 years....I know it is going to be challenging and A LOT of work, but I am up to the challenge, and I seriously and literally have 30 new friends in the same boat helping me along the way.  Now Lets just pass our PE's first try, and life will be a little bit easier. :)  Until next time.....Sam
