So, I know I'm writing this almost a week late, but I can't miss any more days. Wednesday was less frustrating than Monday. Actually I don't think I was that frustrated on Monday either. The instructors were great at being at my side as I learned how to use the universal scaler on the posterior teeth. The days seem to go by faster and faster. Maybe it is because I am half asleep in the chair for half the time. I really don't have much more to say. Nothing really all that exciting happened. I'm just feeling a bit frustrated because I feel like we don't have any time to practice these skills. I try to practice on my typodont at home, but it just isn't the same as a real mouth. I feel like I'm being to pestimistic. I suppose compared to the confusion I felt at the first of the semester, things are a lot better. I just get frustrated when I know what I need to know and there seems to be no way of doing it all in the amount of time that I have. I need a break. Don't get me wrong here, I'm happy to be here. I'm happy to be in the program and I love the people I am working with. I just feel a little burnt out right now. Good thing we have fall break this weekend. It came just in time. I really need it!
