Threes
Today I had more quads of a three so I only need 3 more quads of a three/four. I feel a lot less stress right now. Now all I need is kids, 1B's and fives. I feel like i am in a good position right now. NOw I need to fill up my busy day with 1b's and fives. Maybe I can scedual my last day with a 1B.
Today
Today is MOck boards and it went well. I felt like the test was way too easy! I know what I need to study now. Know names of drugs, know amides and esters, do more math. My clinical mock board went fabulous. I really need to work on finding landmarks for the IA though.

LA mock boards
I have LA mock boards tomarrow. I am nervous because i am not studied up like I need to be. I feel totally helpless. My time is running out. I know for sure I can not study with anyone because I get frustrated when they know something I don't, or they ask questions to fast and I can't make the connection in my brain before they move on. I'm frustrated.

VA good and bad
Today was a good and bad day at the VA. Good in that I got 4 quads of a class four and the guy didn't need anesthesia. That means I need no more class fours of an exam. And I only need one more quad of a class three. What a relief! I was seriously getting worried about it, but not any more. There was a bad part of the day but it is not worth talking about.

Mockboards( the last one)
Mock boards went great for me, but not for everyone else. I got a 96. I know that I should not let me guard down though. I will explore my guts out on real boards cuz that's what I did on mock and was able to detect calc and get it off. I am ready for the real, bring it on!

I learned a lesson
On my last mockboard I went to town with the scraping and the filing and really worked this guys tissue to shreads. I am not proud of it that is why I say I have learned a lesson. My new philosophy is "less is more", don't over work it, chill out! Tissue trauma on boards is 6 points, just like missing an error of Calc. So I put this new thinking into practice with my board patient who came in for one quad of cleaning and whoohooo, NO errors.

Found a class three
It's only one quad, but who cares, that is how they add up. Poor lady, doesn't seem like she has ever taken care of her teeth. One spot in particular is so inflamed and fluctuant that it flaps in the breeze. I can't wait to see her back to see how that tissue is doing. I put some arestin there too so it should be doing pretty well. Her name was Martha Orellana.

I found my board patient
Yea, I am so excited I found my wonderful board patient. If i say he is perfect that will jinx it, so I won't say it but you can know I'm thinking it. He opens his mouth so big. NO third molars, all twelve clicks in one quad. I'm in love. He in the employee of one of my really good friends, so he will obviously have work off. HeHe he he he

The begining of the end
I don't know If this has been a previous title or not, who cares. It is the begining of the last semeste, who hoo! I want to get my board patient right away so that I can stop stressing. I will try to do all of the screenings of fridays until I find my patient. I feel like there are too many things to do right now, with screenings and sealant clinics and blogs and notebooks and boards to study for. My priority will be boards.
