Senior took boards

The seniors took their boards today. One year from this date we will take ours. I am actually excited. Excited for the seniors excited for myself. It will be quit and experience and will be good to get all that knowledge. My group today also got onboard with Prof. Hansen to do a cool project with 3-D vitual reality imagaing for learning how to use anesthesia. It looks so cool!

class III

I worked on a class three for the first time. It was not as scarry as I thought. I learned how to use the gracy's. The 13/14 works on the distal. Start from the line angle and work back to the distal portion of the tooth. The Mesial instument works more area of the tooth. Start with a horizontal stroke from the distal line angle forward. Oblique at mesial line angle and work it mesially until your are at the straight interproximal mesial doing a vertical. Same with an ultra sonic. Horizontal stroke on linual or facial, oblique at a line angle, working into a vertical at interproximal.

Stress

Katee said it best when she was describing our experience. On sunday your anticipatory stress level rises to a critical level because you can see the whirlwind, you can feel the chaos and helplessness, because when monday hits you have to jump into the whirlwind and ride the ride until friday when you can jump out and finally let your stress level fall and take a breath and organize yourself. I feel the exact same way. I really do not think that I will get all of my requirements do either.
