Senior Year, Week 1

Welcome back! The summer break was much needed and it flew by so quick, but part of me was a little excited to get back to school and finish! This week we got to know the faculty a little better that will be working with us this year. I can tell that I am really going to like them! We wasted no time hopping right back into things. I am grateful that this semester does not have quite the homework load that first-year had. I have a goal to spend this extra time wisely and crack open the boards books and study a little as I go this year. I have also set a goal to get all of my PE's done early. I learned last semester that it is best to get all PE's and requirements done as early as possible so that I will be a little more relaxed when the end of the semester rolls around. My favorite thing this week was injecting the chicken with anesthetic. It was interesting to feel what it is going to feel like to do an injection in the mouth. Getting back into the swing of things in clinic made me realize that I need some practice after that long summer! Everything felt a little strange at first when we were doing partner OD's in clinic. I hope it all starts coming back to me quickly.
