Monday we practiced exploring on each other. I feel that it is so hard to fulcrum with the explorer. I hope it will start to get easier. Today we passed off PE's and I am so relieved that I am now cought up with my PE's. We had our first exam in Anatomy and I did very well. I am feeling pretty good with most of the classes now except for our Friday classes. Those classes I still am pretty confused with most of what is going on. I am getting excited for the end of the semister already, when we get to have a "real patient" come in. Until my next post...

PROBING!!!! Today we actually practiced probing on each other!! It was very scary making that first probe measurement. My pod partner said I did good, but who knows maybe she is just being nice. My pod partner did a great job on me, she was so nervous but she did awesome!! On Monday we will start using an explorer on each other! I hope I do well on that too!

Well, the convention was fun I guess. I got to know some of the girls a little better which was nice. Some of the tables were interesting, and I had fun trying on loopes. I know which ones I think I might get. The radiology exam was long...but I did pretty good, I passed! The exam I stressed over the most was the Dental Hygiene exam. I did well on that one too. I could have done better I think but all I really care about is that I passed. Now I just have to study for tomorrows quiz in Dental Hygiene and for the Anatomy exam. So really the stress never goes away. You stress over one exam just to finish that and stress all over again for another exam!!! On top of all that I am sick with a nasty cold. I am trying so hard not to get my poor pod partner sick, with her new baby at home. Well, fingers crossed that I keep on doing well on my exams and wish me luck on the next ones!!

We had part of our first head and neck anatomy exam yesterday, it was a little harder than I anticipated, for the next part I should probably step up my studying a bit. We have our first Radiology exam on Thursday, and I have to admit that I am pretty nervous for this exam. There is so much information in just reading a film! We also have our first Dental Hygiene exam this weekend....AHH! What a stressful week!! I am extremelly nervous for the Dental Hygiene exam, I hope that our review on Thursday will be very helpful. Friday we are going into Park City for the UDHA Convention, I am excited to be able to go to this convention and I hope it will be fun and that I will learn something new.

It is now week four... Time flies when your going insane!! I am finally starting to get into the flow of things, it is still a bit overwhelming. Everyone in my class seems to be really nice and easy to get along with and work with. Class work is a bit frustrating at times but things are starting to come together. We just finished our HHX (health history) case study with our groups, which was really crazy! I think and hope that my group did awesome on it. Well until next time!
Wish me luck on my exams this week!!
