Thank you Caleb!

Today was so much fun! I actually got to work on a real patient (not that my lab partners weren't real, they were just too clean before I even got to them!) It went very well, I got an entire quad done and Professor Hansen said I did a very nice job and that she didn't feel any residual deposits! I've never had the opportunity to work with Professor Hansen before and just from my experience with her today I'm really excited to continue working with her in the future. She was so nice and helpful and she pushed me to try and scale as much as possible today. She thought that I could get through the patient's entire mouth today which unfortunately didn't happen because she and I both forgot to factor in time for x-rays and the fact that I was nervous and took forever before getting my scale check. It was fun to see some real calculus! My patient really didn't have very much but there was some to be found which was exciting enough for me:) I can't believe we've come this far and that this was my last day working in clinic for the semester! I'm so grateful there's a break coming soon... but I'm really hoping I don't lose all of my skills over christmas. I felt like a real hygienist today! I can see the end's a bit closer now!!! Hopefully today went well for everyone else too... it was seriously the quietest day ever in clinic. Even the forgotten pod was silent! (yay char, staci, shalyce and tandem! They always sound like they're having way too much fun over there!hehe).
