A Little Break
Ah...the weekend is here at last. Actually, you might call it the calm before the storm. We have 3 practicals and a physiology test in the coming week! I'm not sure when we will have time to study for the physiology test.
I passed my operative practical on Thursday. I went a little to deep (instead of 1.5mm, I was 1.7mm), and at 1.75mm a student fails! Isn't it insane that .25mm is enough to go from passing to failing? Sometimes I just have to shake my head.
In dental anatomy on Tuesday, we were assigned another project (this on top of 3 or 4 others that are due over the next 4 weeks). We are waxing up from 5 to 12. A big project, but not too tough...just time consuming.
I was excited for my fixed class on Wednesday. I thought I had done a lot of good prep work during the week prior to the class, and I was sure my row instructor would notice. But, instead, she found everything wrong that I had done and then told me to try harder. When professors told me this during the first quarter, I was a little taken back. But, by this quarter, I just accept that it's true, and that I have a long way to go until I'm going to be creating really good products.
I'm going to have a nice weekend, and try not to think about school too much. I'll post more early next week.
