What the what! This is a day I never thought would come! Last day of clinic ever and it feels too good! I had an easy cheesy lemon squeezy 1B patient this morning. It amazes how long I used to take on easy patients like that and how much I scraped away at their poor teeth haha whoops! It was all for a good cause I suppose. I can't believe it has finally come to the end and that I'm done with everything. I never thought I would make it through and now here I am getting ready to graduate in one week. It's the most amazing feeling ever. I've learned so much these past two years and have improved so unbelievably much. I feel so lucky to have been given the opportunity to be in the program and meet slash work with so many wonderful people. I will never forget the good times I had at Weber State.

I love children...but please bless that I don't end up working in a pediatric office someday. Pretty sure I cleaned the spawn of Satan this morning. She wouldn't be quiet and was saying the craziest, most off the wall things. She had to touch absolutely everything and was not cooperating at all. At least it gave me experience and fulfilled some more requirements right? I guess I will have to get used to dealing with patients like that in the real world so it was probably good for me. Haha anyways I was thrilled to be done with the morning. In the afternoon I finished up my board patient...and yes her calculus was still as ridiculous as ever. I had to take my jackhammer to it. I actually had professor perry check the quad that i cleaned for boards and lets just say that hopefully things are looking up. I still can't believe we haven't gotten our results yet though. It's absolutely killing me. I've passed all of my other boards though so hopefully that is a good sign. I'm so excited to finally be done with school.

Today was my last day at the VA. I'm so glad that I had the opportunity to come and volunteer here. It's been a wonderful experience and I've been able to meet and work with so many good people. It's has been fun to hear all of the veteran's stories. I really do feel like i've made a difference these past two years in the dental hygiene program. I can see that my communication skills have improved so much and I'm a lot more comfortable with patients and educating them on their oral health. I have become a lot more personable with people in general. I'm so grateful for all of the skills I've acquired while being in the dental hygiene program. They will help me not only in practice, but in everyday life as well.
