I used my time before class this morning to work on cutting another class II prep on #19. I'm getting better. I need to make my box more conservative in every dimension, and then I think I'll be 90% of the there. I need to get good at it because we have a practical on it in a couple of weeks.

During dental anatomy, we finished our wax up of a premolar. We had 2 hours before we needed to be done and have it turned in for grading. For a few minutes, I thought I wasn't going to finish in time. But, I did, and I scored well on the grading. Following the lab portion, we had a brief lecture on the anatomy of teeth in the arch.

After lunch, we had a lecture on the GI tract. In lab, we focused our dissection on the liver, gall bladder, and branches of arteries coming off the aorta. Our table was worried that we were going to cut into large intestine and expose all of the fecal matter. The lab stinks bad enough, and we didn't want to deal with the additional foul smell.
