2008 September: Hope

Well this has been a very stressful month. I have been going to school for a month now and I am counting down the months until I get done. It has been a fun time learning about all of the subjects but I really enjoy the labs when we actually get to play in the mouth. Right now we are just learning the basic way to sit and hold our arm and were to put our hands when we are cleaning the mouth.

Some other classes are Radiology where we lean about taking x-rays and everything that goes with them. So far we have only taken them on Dexter our x-ray dummy. They are easier than they seem. So if you have any questions about them just ask.

Then Pre Clinic Theory in this class we learn everything you would like to know about biofilm (plaque) and some other stuff. Another class is Embryology, Histology, Morphology as you can guess it is about what happens when you are growing in your Mommy's tummy. It is a very interesting class to know what is going on in there.

Next we have Head and Neck Anatomy which in turn we learn everything that you have from your shoulders to the top of your head, from every bone, muscle, nerve, blood artery and veins.

Then we have Preventive Dentistry in this class we learn how to talk to our patients about brushing their teeth and what to do when something is wrong in the mouth such as dry mouth.

Then we have dental Spanish were we learn Spanish for the dental field. All of the teachers are great but the one I like best is Dr Jason Allan who teaches the anatomy class and then latter next year how to give injections which I am looking forward to:)

So for you that are still in school I am taking 19 credits so it is the most I have taken. Well lets see what else has happened... the boys are doing great as always and they are getting better as telling us that they (mostly Scott) need to go potty.

Michelle is doing great she has been working very hard she has 3 jobs and has dinner ready and the house clean (for the most part if you have kids you know what I mean, you think you have it clean and there are always toys our somewhere.)

Well some other news my parents got the mission call to go to the Phoenix Arizona Mission, they enter the MTC on the 20th of October. Well that is our lives for now. We hope all is well with all of you.

19 credits? Dude, you're sounding like I did... just beware, it really does take all your time.

But, I'm sure you'll do just fine.

Jason, I don't envy you. That's a heavy workload. You're right though, they do sound like interesting classes. I've heard horror stories about head and neck. Good luck with that.

Congratulations to your parents. That's fantastic. Do they know what their responsibilities are yet?
