Fin

Last Tuesday I took on the incredibly difficult job of trying to make dentistry seem fun and interesting. Unfortunately, the plans I had previously made for my presentation weren't able to be done so I had to try to make up something else that might serve to bring everyone's attention to teeth. I'm not going to sugar-coat it: my project was really boring. Honestly, I tried my best to make it as exciting as I could without losing the informational part of the presentation. I'm not going to say that I deserve a 100 for my work on my presentation, but I am really disappointed that what work I did do earned the grade that I received.

It's Here!!!

Today is prom. I must say that, as a person who frequently procrastinates, I really tried to plan this prom out. For the past two years, I've always gotten my prom things the week of, or the day before, and had no problems and a pretty good time. This year, I had to pick a dress that is completely different from my dream dress, which still looks nice, I don't have a date, and I had to alter my dress myself. All in all, this has been a pretty stressful month but, hopefully, after tonight it will be worth it.

Frantic Finish

There are just a few short days until my presentation and there is still so much left to do! Unfortunately, I wasn't at school yesterday so my presentation preparation has been severely cut. Now, I only have Monday to finish everything that I need to get done. On the bright side, I have everything that I plan to use in my presentation, but I really need to get it all in order; I also have to put my brochures together. Monday is going to be a very, very busy day!

Keep Moving Forward!

As my presentation date approaches, I find myself scrambling to get everything done. With the brochure and pictures of peoples' teeth to the tools and objects that will be put on display, it seems that everything is coming into place. Although the presentation is coming along pretty well, I still need a lot more to fill in the 45 minute gap that will be my presentation. With only about two weeks left, I need to start bringing more things together.

Getting Close to That Time...

I only have two visits left for my sponsor! It's crazy how time flies and I can't really think of another way to spend my Monday afternoons, but when you gotta go you gotta go! The visit was a little different from the others. I did see an extraction but it was a different kind of extraction; this time Dr. Okon extracted bone spicules, which are pieces of bone that grow and poke out of someones gum. There was such a big gap in the man's mouth from the extraction that Dr. Okon had to stitch his gum together. This man, who had to be in his late 40s to early 50s, was in so much pain that even the Novocaine, which they gave him 2 doses of, didn't help the pain brought on by the procedure. He wiggled in his seat, closed his eyes tight, gripped the armrest and moved his feet around; all evident signs of him trying to fight the pain. That was one visit to the dentist I didn't particularly like.

As I was working on my molds for my presentation, I began to come up with a wonderful idea: while talking about my experiences at the dental office, or about how important teeth are, I would make a slide show of the teeth of students and faculty, mostly to demonstrate how no two set of teeth are alike and also to show how memorable and distinguished some people's smiles are. What I found out, however, is that it was extremely difficult to actually get a picture of teeth, and most of the people I asked to take a picture of said no. Those "shy" people did help me though; the subject of teeth and how important their appearance is will be an interesting subject during my presentation.

'Bout to Tap That !

This blog, as may be interpreted by the title, is yet another one of my angry rants about dumb high school females and the problems they bring. This blog is namely about someone who seems to have a problem with talking about me and the things that I have allegedly done. One thing that I cannot stand is when people spread rumors about me. Personally, I don't think that I'm all that interesting to be talked about, especially on a rumor basis. Usually, I keep to myself and my close circle of friends in school, what pisses me off is that some people have the audacity to really spend time out of their daily routine to spoil my, for lack of a better word, reputation. I consider myself a peaceful person; I'm not rude to people I don't know, and am not seriously mean to the people that I do know, but this person has one, ONE more time to say something about me before I do something that I may regret.
