Insomniac

I have had horrible luck with school lately. On Tuesday we had our mock anesthesia board, and I failed the PSA injection, but I did well on the IA and the written examination. Our board exam is 2 weeks from today so I just need to practice and I think I'll be ok. Then today and last Friday I scheduled people to examine and see if they would qualify for boards, but I have had no luck. I have found no one even close to qualifying. I got a couple of patients from another student and a new patient I need to schedule, so hopefully something will pan out. I still have 2 months to find someone, but I don't need 2 months of stress!!!
I've had to buy sleep aids to go to sleep at night because I clench up and stay up all night thinking about these stupid exams. My fellow students can appreciate this: last night I was up and just kept going over in my head the angles and terminology for the anesthesia exam, "at penetration site, at deposition site, aspirating..." So I have to take medication at night now so I can even fall asleep!
But my written exam is in 3 1/2 weeks and after that I think I'll be able to relax a little. But we don't even find out if we passed until June, so it will be hard to relax until then.
But I have a beautiful son who makes me laugh everyday, so I should count my blessings.

New Pictures of Kire

We just got a membership to the Treehouse Museum in Ogden and have gone a lot lately. It is so much fun. They do crafts and read stories. They have a toddler time and play games and sing songs and Kire loves it. It has been so nice since the weather has been so bad; it gives us something to do.

Landlord

I saw this video a while ago and came across it again. It is my favorite of Will Ferrell. And he has this web site www.funnyordie.com which is like youtube, it's just comedy sketches.

Prison Break

I am so sad, the season of Prison Break is over; so I'll have to find somewhere else to watch hot men, besides my husband of course. If anyone needs a reason to watch Prison Break, here's the only one you need, Wentworth Miller. Isn't he gorgeous (he was the one that should have been cast for Edward)! And yes, my husband knows. We have a little deal that if he meets Angelina Jolie he can do what he wants and if I ever meet Wentworth I can do what I want; and I won't describe what I would do to him. But I am happy that the writer strike is over cause there will finally be new Office episodes and hopefully 24 will start up soon! And I heart Simon. I would not watch American Idol if it weren't for him. For some reason I find him incredibly sexy. And his comments are so rediculous sometimes, but he makes the show.

Today I tried to screen some people to see if they would qualify for my board exam, but no luck. I don't know what I am going to do. My mom has this hispanic guy doing her basement, so I made her give him some flyers. And I also sent some with my mother-in-law to take with her to work, she teaches GED classes. So hopefully something will come up. Otherwise I will have thrown away $10,000 on school.
I added a couple of songs from the Juno soundtrack to my playlist, you have to check them out. They make me smile : )

Mockboard #2

So in clinic on TUesday we had our 2nd mockboard; which is where we clean a patients teeth and get graded on it like we would when we take the real board test to get our license. The first one I failed last fall, but I picked a patient from Mexico who had never had her teeth cleaned, so she was tough. And this mockboard I chose a pt. whom I had just cleaned his teeth last year, but I don't think he had brushed his teeth since. I only missed 2 spots of calculus, but I traumatized the tissue in 3 spots so I got marked down for that :( Tissue heals, big deal! So I'm not feeling incredibly confident about this huge board exam coming up.

Today I went to WSU and we did this "Give kids a smile" service. A bunch of dentists from the community volunteer and poor kids from downtown ogden come to the clinic and we clean their teeth, take x-rays, and do any dental work they need. It was a really cool experience. There were tons of people and I got to assist a dentist; it was fun to do something besides clean teeth. It was also really sad because some of the kids had so much decay. We treated one little 8 yr old boy who's permanent molars, which he's only had 1-2 yrs were just completely bombed out. Some people just don't value oral hygiene. We gave all the kids toothbrushes and taught them how to use them, so hopefully they'll use them.

Oh and I learned about this cute website from my friend Casandra. It's cutestblogontheblock, and I have a link to it. But she has some free backgrounds you can use, or for a small fee she put my blog title and cute pictures up at the top. I'm just not good at all that Html so I would prefer to have someone else do it for me. Doesn't it look good:)

Juno

Juno

Me and Erik saw Juno last night and we laughed so hard. It was kindof artsy and weird like Napolean Dynamite and had so many classic one-liners. This clip has a lot of the funny lines in it, and I would highly recommend this!
Oh yes, I failed to mention that it has 2 of the same actors from my favorite discontinued sitcom Arrested Development. I swear I am the only person that ever watched this show but it was awesome. I just bought season 3 if anyone wants to borrow it. And of course Dwight is in it too.
