last day of school & a trip to the dentist

Today was surreal. I went to school for the last time. Weird. I haven't even processed it. I don't graduate until May 14, but on Monday I start an externship at a dental office that goes until the first week of May. School has been great. It's been stressful, fun, annoying, challenging, etc. but when I think back on it, it's mainly been a blur. It's flown by. So much has happened. And now it's ending. This morning, I screened a patient who I'm going to use for my SRTA board exam on May 20 (yay)! Then B and I enjoyed a cookout in the quad coupled with perfect, and I mean perfect, weather.


Last morning walk to school

After lunch, I had an appointment with Student Dr Curfew. I had a small cavity on a molar and we also wanted to make sure I didn't have any anywhere else. I have one more that popped up on the xray :( Boo. I have only had 2 cavities in my life and they were small and were 10 years ago! Blah. On the plus side, this new cavity is the perfect one that B can use for a competency at the end of the month. It turned out to be something really wonderful for him, so I'm happy I could help :) I'm a great patient with no anxiety and a big mouth. Great, I have a big mouth. Plenty of room to work in there. I'll take it as a compliment. But really, this is a great thing. In the past I said, "Man, I wish I had what you needed for your competency..." Careful what you wish for. Things turned out awesome and we had a great time today. Perfect way to end my experience at ULSD. Student Dr Curfew, I'll see you on the 22nd. I'll try not to bail on you...


Pretending I'm on the beach somewhere. Living the dream...


This is what true love looks like. He's a superstar! Didn't feel a thing. (Or maybe I've been stabbed so many times in school that I don't feel it anymore?) No really, I was extremely impressed!


Working away. While I hang out and take a picture of us.
