One Hundred Eighty

ok we look like geeks but in reality we were experiencing the lifestyle of a geriatric patient.

For those of you who do not know what geriatric means it's the branch of medicine that deals with the problems and diseases of the old and aging.

Our Activity:

-The glasses were covered in vaseline (poor vision)

-Our dominant hand had a glove with a tape around our knuckles (arthritis)

-Cotton rolls on our vestibules (speech impairment)

-Cotton rolls on our ears (hearing impairment)

It was tough walking around school with those glasses on...

it makes you think about the elderly and their driving skills.

We should give them chances

=D

anyways I got the results back from the Comp

and let me tell you, it is not a pretty score

4 out of 42 students passed with the highest score being a low 80%

So we got lectured today on how we are doing so poorly.

Really if only 4 people passed I think it has more to do than just our study habits.

It has a lot to do with the professors and what they are actually teaching us.

Now what really worries me is.... "am I ready for the national exam?"

I know it's not right now but I should start planning a schedule on what and when to study.

Tomorrow is OSCE

of course they didn't tell us what it's about.

(We don't even know what OSCE stands for)

I swear sometimes I think they just want to see us fail.

I think they love to write "F" and make us beg.

It's pretty sad.

Today was def. not a good day.

Let's see tomorrow after the performance exam.

WISH ME LUCK!

BTW

I thought you should know that today September 23, 2009

Sydney, Australia experienced the worst dust bowl in 70 years.

Looks like mother nature and I shared the same feeling for today.

"I pick a book up. Turn the sheets down.

Take a deep breath and a good look around
Put on my pjs and hop into bed
I'm half alive but I feel mostly dead
I try and tell myself it'll be all right
I just shouldn't think anymore tonight 'cause
Dreams last for so long
Even after you're gone
I know you love me
And soon I know you will see
You were meant for me
And I was meant for you"

One Hundred Seventy-Five

450 questions later...

the Comprehensive Exam was finally over

and we celebrated with some drinks @ Chilis

Finally got a decent shot of the entrance.

Mind you the car was in motion.

One Hundred Seventy-Three

(I didn't find a picture b/c Monchi got back from the vet... he has Meningitis)

Thought process:

Comprehensive exam is on Friday.

I have to add that I'm very anxious.

I really don't know what kind of questions

would be asked and I don't want any bad reflections of it.

Turning to a good note.. I got elected to represent our dental hygiene

program over at Orlando for table clinics.

If you go through previous posts you will see the hard work in

making our [Yanira and I] project "Going Green in Dental Hygiene"

Many late nights and a lot of research. We even wrote to

one of the authors, Kevin James that wrote an article on the subject.

And now I got elected to go and represent =)

Hard work does pay off, but I will be doing it on my own.

Yanira couldn't continue on this semester so therefore I had the option

to do it on my own, or decline the acceptance.

So I choose doing it on my own. I'm always up for a challenge.

And I figured.. why not?

I really feel utterly focused on school. Yes overwhelmed but never the less productive.

My planner is super organized and I am hoping it maintains this way.

This leaf is not going to turn brown this fall season. It will grow until it eventually becomes a beautiful flower.

I haven't taken a photograph yet, but I will be looking for a very cute flower so it can go with the rest of this post.

=D

see ya soon

So this note was given to my parents attached to a wine bottle.

Lately this alchy has been drinking up all the wine from the fridge

and I haven't return the favor and put some back.

So Jessica and I headed to Publix to buy some pregamers

and in remembrance I bought a bottle for the parents.

I promise not to touch this bottle

(only if offered some)

lol

Im such a good kid

=D

No but seriously,

they have helped a lot lately.

I can't help but to thank them.

YES both of them.

My dad is being a contract patient for me

while my mom gives me money

My dad is being my temporary boss on Saturdays

while

I am still jobless.

And in no intention of looking for another one.

MUST FOCUS ON COMPREHENSIVE EXAM!
