Layout

They've changed the layout of this thing... it makes it look like i write much less than before which is a tad annoying but I guess I'll have to deal with it. Darn layout.  So the prac component for DENT 2030 is complete meaning NO MORE DENT 2030!!  Obviously I passed, otherwise I'd be a lot more stressed.

Today I went to GAF 15 minute eaarly and there is absolutely no point. There is no one in there til about 3 minutes til the start of the class.  Finished reading Persuasion, still really good :D

Classes are ending soon meaning I have to get my study on.  I hope case analysis isn't too hard!  I think I'll follow benson because He's going to all the classes and also learning third year stuff which seems to be the smart thing to do!

Been sleeping enough but for some reason I've put on some weight...darn woolworths and their cheap junk food! Its all gone now so I guess I won't be eating much more right? Not much for happened last ouple of days., Mothers day talked to mum for a while before uncle Kim called then went out for lunch before coming home.

Studied and talked to annabel today because our timetables allowed it but aside from that, not much.  Perhaps its time to get proactive and reinvigorate the year!  Lets go Thomas LETS GO!!

Clinic

I went to clinic 5 today and it was good.  Kinda tired because clinic is tiring...even if you're just assisting...

anyway to cut a long story short i realised how you can stay overtime by half an hour even.

Not much else happened today.

Aunty Susan's Birthday

Today is Aunty Susan's Birthday.  I had uni al day but managed to get a few things she wanted done.  Firstly, She wanted to get some masks from the dental school so I emailed Renate and got 2 boxes for her hahaha how awesome am I? $5 30 each box.

Second I checked the reservation for High Tea for AUnty Susan and Aunty Lizzie.  Confirmed, gave them the voucher number and it was all good!  Got a few photos for Aunty Susan printed from her camera at BigW 12cents a print is not bad.

Aunty Linda gave us some cake so had some cake after dinner! It was good durian cake :D  Mum hasn't called in a while, wonder how busy home is.

Running man!

So this last week I've had a bunch of things happen.  First off I was going to go to dental school on thursday and assist but at 12 30 realised I would be late so I decided I would go this week...weak excuse I know but its the best I can do ;p

Friday had a prac, pretty boring tbh.  I did well in the quiz so its all good!  Today also had a quiz and it was very unconventional...group quiz whaaaat?

We had a long weekend and I finally got my washing done! yay it was terrible weather last week so it was a bit of a relief to get it done on sunday :D  Watched running man! its really funny and often makes me laugh out loud!!  Thanks Anthony for the eps :D  I decided to put a slice of lemon in my water and I am unsure what the ramifications for my teeth will be. I think it will be alright...i mean 1:100 dilution or something so that means it won't be strong enough to dissolve the tooth structure :D

Exam timetable came out so I promptly booked my flight to sydney. My one and only exam is on 18th of June at 5: 45 so I booked one the next morning at 10 20am. lands in SYdney before midday so when I take the train it should be all good :D.  The only issue for the exams is to not get slack.  Compared to third years who have 8 exams I am in a much luckier position to see how it pans out and then know which subjects to focus on.  Next Semester I will begin looking at third year subjects from the dropbox folder!  Should be helpful.  I think If i Start looking now there ins't really a point becauyse there is so much time in between but next semester the content is much more relevant I think.  I will also go to all the lectures next semester (including the subjects I'm not required to go to).

I've been a bit slack in writing notes, jsut been reading the textbook and noting important things which are not in the lectures but in the textbooks and I looked at the exam from last year and saw a 5 mark question which had to do with something not in the lecture notes about the heart's relationship to the lung pressure.  I now know that the heart contracting and relaxing helps with the breathing process due to the small pressure difference it contributes.

Long weekend I went to Buddha festival.  It was much better this year because we came at the right time and stayed for the right length.  The shows were quite good :D:D


Today I woke up early and went to the 8am lecture and did the SDL.  Learnt a few things about lamina propria which I was supposed to elarn last year but got away without learning ;p  So that was the last 6 days in a nutshell.

All dental school related

Now that the prac assessments are over for a while, I can get back to actually studying instead of worrying about what steps to do when i'm in the prac.  The denture one I'm not too sure about because I think i overflamed the entire thing making it smooth instead of showing root eminences but I'm sure that that won't fail me.  Passed another minor competency yay.  No idea where my lower model is which is a bit of a shame because there are still 3 exercises i have to do and all the polishing, should take about one session i think, we'll see.

Got an email from Dr. March regarding going to clinics.  She says its fine which is excellent, will be going every Thursday. I think I'll go tomorrow afternoon because I have to iron clinic coat, have lunch etc at home before i head out.  I have no idea who the senior dental assistant is Sarah Thompson. I'm sure someone will show me ;p.  I think next semester i'll be assisting more than one day because from memory, lab finishes so there is much more time :D monday and wednesday hehe.

A respiration quiz is on Friday, I think i'll be fine for that regardless i'll have to make notes on respiration tomorrow.

Emma's party

First off on friday went to lectures then went to movies.  The avengers is a pretty good movie :D I think it would be much more enjoyable in the cinemas than at home.  got popcorn and krispy kreme!  got a smaller box so we got a large popcorn and split it that way, the popcorn was too salty but its one of those things you just keep eating so my mouth felt very salty haha.

Afterwards, went home and had dinner, started on emma's card for saturday night

saturday, finished the card and went with elaine to buy the present.  got the present and went home to shower and change.  had bi bim bap or whatever its called and it was much nicer than the other shop we had it at.  It was pouring outside at this stage.  caught a bus to cultural centre and then another to boundary street. found the venue for emma's 21st and she had a crochembouche or houwever you spell the tower of profiterroles .

got home before midnight and felt quite tired so went to bed, woke up at 9 today, time to get my study on and write down all the steps for the 2030 prac exam then look over the 2022 cavity prep criteria.
