OK,
So I got home at 10pm today...basically at school from 8am-10pm. I'm sure my dental school buddies can commiserate. I don't know if I can handle this. I sometimes feel like when I spend so much time and feel as though I get no where that maybe I am in the wrong place. That I can't tell. But I'm pretty sure I'm learning something. I mean at the beginning of this quarter I couldn't even mount a cast on an articulator without having it look like a big mush or something and getting plaster and what not all ove rmy hair, but today I was able to do it without getting dirty at all. So I have to figure that this learning thing is happening, right? I sure hope the motor learning as to how to cut crowns starts kicking in. I attempted my first 7/8 crown today, took many hours....like 4, and I messed up. Go fig. Oh well. What can I do? I am learning from my mistakes. You know, in undergrad I had such a great life. My biggest concern was finding a boyfriend to share it with. Not to say men are the only thing, but when you got everything else...you tend to fixate on that which you don't have. Though I look back and regret not appreciating all other things that were going for me. Perhaps now I am in the middle of this whirlwind and feel overwhelmed, but there are tons of great things in my life as well. It's just in our nature to not, um, pay attention to the good and fixate on the bad. At least some of us have this propensity to do so, though some seem so happy all the time even when horrible things happen.
Anyway, my friend Monica is MIA right now. I'm a little worried for her as I haven't heard from her in about a month or so. I hope she is OK. I called her and emailed her, but with no reply. John has done the same as well. I hope she is just busy right now and is not in the middle of something bad...for lack of better words.
Right now I haven't seen my boyfriend since Friday. Prospects look like I won't be seeing him until Thu night perhaps. Of course I'm gonna be doing lab work...all night long. It never ends. The madness! OK, I am gonna finish this salad and then wax. Night everyone!
