Well our last clinic day did not turn out like it should have. I woke up that morning and there were crazy howling winds ripping campus apart! Some of the patients to be seen in the clinic showed up, but Prof. Alexander was telling us to reschedule our patients. My patient was a class III and also my mockboard patient for January. He was bringing his wife for me to see also, and his 2 daughters for Tanya to see. We talked back and forth and the parking lot in front of the school was closed so they would have had to park pretty far away and battle the wind with two little girls to make it up to the clinic. We ended up rescheduling them. I was fine with that because I was done with my clinic requirements and I really didn't want any injuries to come from me being to eager to get a patient in my chair.
Then the whole school was put on lockdown because there had been some injuries of people walking out in the wind and getting hit by things or hitting something because the wind knocked them down or propelled them against something.
Anyway, enough with the crazy wind day. I want to reflect on this whole semester. I feel like it went really well. I was able to complete all of my requirements and I was also able to get a lot of xrays, so hopefully I won't be too stressed next semester. I had a turn of luck with seeing class III's towards the end of the semester. I was feeling really stressed about them, but I am not feeling too stressed anymore. Hopefully it is too early to be getting too stressed about trying to find a class IV that has an entire mouth that qualifies for my assignment. I have found quite a few class IV's, but they haven't had a full mouth that qualifies. Or I have seen them at the VA and I was only able to complete 1 or 2 quads and I won't ever see them again. Prof Alexander just keeps telling us that everything will be alright. And for now I will believe her because it is Christmas break and things are going really well. Bryce has been accepted to Dental School, I am finished for the semester, and I get to think about spending some time with family. Things don't get much better than that!
