Rally Day...

Being a part of Rally Day on Friday was a really fun experience.  I really have a limited knowledge of politics, so I really didn't know what to expect.  As we walked around to the different delegates, I was expecting that they would be available to talk, but that was not the case.  We were able to speak with two delegates and a couple of their aides.  Hopefully, leaving the goodie bags with the talking points attached was enough to get the bills passed (and the chocolate couldn't hurt!).
It was nice to see the future dental hygiene profession so well represented with students from around the state, and I was proud to be a part of it!

1st patient of the semester...

On Wednesday, I had my 1st patient of the semester.  I know that we are still learning, but I feel like I should have accomplished more.  I started scaling with 40 mins left to the appointment, but didn't finish!  I realize that accuracy is more important than time, but I can't help feeling frustrated by it.  Anyway, I just wanted to express my thoughts, even though I know that I will become more efficient as I get more experienced.  Until then, I'm going to stay positive and continue to try to improve.
