Yesterday I began a new adventure in my life. It was the first day of classes. The first day of dental hygiene school. Ok so maybe this doesn't sound exciting to the rest of you but you need to understand, I have wanted to be a dental hygienist since I was a freshman in High school. Actually I am not sure that I can pinpoint it to that year. I feel like it was before....Either way, I have wanted this for at least 7 years of my short 21 years in this life.
As class began yesterday my professor said this to us:
"You are going to cry more, stress more and freak out more than you ever have in your life...and you chose this!"-Ms. Miller.
It's amazing how this exemplifies every feeling that I have had about school.
Just last week I was in tears because I was so stressed and it hadn't even started school yet!
But now it has started :)
And guess what...It is exactly what I thought it would be... So very challenging! Just yesterday we had a full lecture chalked full of information and things that I had to know.
Today was just the same. More and more information thrown at me for eight hours.
So for my own enjoyment let's recap my first two days of school:
I woke up and looked at phone. My sweet mother sent me a text that said, "Wish I could be there to make your 'first day of hygiene school' picture. :-) love Mom.
Of course this made me cry but then I decided I would take the picture for her so... here you go mom:
My first day of Dental Hygiene school:
School was just full of syllabi and a very large set of notes. After school I got to see my boyfriend! He had made a trip to Rome earlier that day for some business he had to help take care of. So it just so happened that he stayed and hung out with me for several hours! What an amazing guy :)
Then my awesome brother and mom made a special trip to fix my internet. He did a wonderful job. Then I said my goodbyes and tried to sleep...Yeah right.
I woke up early this morning to go to school. After I was all ready for school I went out into the parking lot of my apartment building and I saw a girl that is also in the program. We ended up carpooling.
School started like the day before. Filled with syllabi and boring notes. But then something awesome happened! They passed out our instruments! I was almost hyperventilating I was so excited! In fact the girl sitting next to me kept looking at me. I don't think there was anyone as excited as me!
After receiving my very own instruments I went to lunch with a few girls from the program. It was awesome! I am really excited about the other girls I am meeting. We ate at Panera...yes Chelsea I did it! You were right it was delicious :)
After we got back to class my teacher surprised us with an awesome tooth morphology DYD! Our very own tooth and gingiva model:
The teeth COME OUT!!!!!! SO AWESOME!
a set of teeth that are just loose,
and an awesome coloring book of Head and neck anatomy!
O my goodness I cannot wait! Now I just have to sit down with my books and really get into this! I am so pumped!!!!
I know the hard work is coming so very soon! But I am so so very excited about it!
And if this isn't enough today I started the Jillian Michael's 30 day shred! This video made my sister look SO HOT right before her wedding! I am determined to look just as hot! What a wonderful week!!!!
