Passing off my first PE
Whew! What a day. I felt kinda inadequate today in clinic. Ive had soooo many hours of volunteer experience in the dental office, but today made me kinda frustrated that the hygienists didnt allow me to do simple things like navigate a suction tube in the patients mouth. Its not rocket-science, but I still felt self-conscious about it. Im really grateful that we have a professor that is left-handed so she can help me since everything for me is backwards. Maybe that factored into my self-consciousness. I am finding it a little inconvenient being shoved into the back corner...its harder to collaborate with the other girls and to hear what TA's and instructors are saying. I feel a little forgotten sometimes. Ill have to make my voice heard by asking more and saying more. In spite of it, I managed to pass off my first PE! Navigating around Eaglesoft isnt rough at all. I really enjoyed meeting the lady that invented the blue boa. She was so nice and helpful.
