Confessions of a Dental Hygiene Student

oh the anticipation of the new school year. So exciting, yet soooo racking my nerves! I can't believe I'm actually in the program that I have been working to get into for the last two years. Another two years of school and then I'm done! I just hope I can survive the next two years. The way the 2nd year hygiene students talk about it, you would think the dental hygiene program was fabricated by the devil himself. Bring it. I like a good challenge. Maybe in a month or so I will be taking it all back as I sit crying over my books, living on 3 hours of sleep. We shall see. I'm almost tempted to rename this blog "Confessions of a Dental Hygiene Student" because I have a feeling most of my posts will be about my so called "adventures" in the program. My schedule is what has me the most nervous. Mon-Wed 1pm-9pm, Thursday 1-3:30, Friday 9-11:30. I will at least get to see Nick off to work in the morning, but I won't get to see him until after 9 through Wednesday! What will he do without me? I know exactly what he'll do. He'll play video games, eat otter pops, and maybe get around to his own homework. haha men. or maybe I should say "MY man". I have no experience with any other man to appropriately nod my head in a knowing way while uttering "men" as if I've met all of them and know for a fact that all of them do this. but you know, it's fun to put the blame on the whole sex for some reason. maybe it makes me feel as if women are greater because they don't succumb to such things as video games and eating 30 otter pops in one sitting.
wow, tangent much? So back to schooly things. I have already started taking notes on the first chapter in my "Clinical Practice of the Dental Hygienist" book. However, note taking has been temporarily put on hold till the school year begins. Why? Well, because as i was taking notes I realized that I only have a few days left of summer. a few days left to lounge around and read the fourth harry potter book for the fifth time. a few days left to spend every moment I can with my wonderful husband. a few days left with no worries, no assignments, no deadlines. why should I spend my precious few days of summer doing school work when in a few days I will be wishing I had all my free time to keep me company again? So I stopped, and i have been longing to take more notes ever since. There is something about starting a new semester, starting a new course with a new textbook that is so intoxicating to me. my husband doesn't understand the obsession. I don't even understand it. it just is. So today I will do some grocery shopping, read and read and read anything and everything that isn't a textbook, and hang out with my husband and have the time of our lives.
i know, this post is very picture-less, but i hope my words were able to entertain you instead. Sometimes it feels good to ramble on when no one can talk back. haha have a good week! And to those of you in college, enjoy your last few days of summer! make them memorable :)

loves,
