Shiny Teeth and Me - Chip Skylark (Fairly Odd Parents)

ok, recap of my life:

>-4th of July ... we lit fireworks! it was great!!! next year will be more awesome!
-had the going away party--lots of crazy dancing
-moved to Richmond---never thought i had so much stuff--the apartment is great!
-working at the dental clinics (sometimes faculty practice, mostly with the grad students who are still excited when they get called doctor)
oooooh man... that is the most awesome thing!!!
i learn so much! the grad students are teaching me stuff, and they are sooo nice!
i assisted one of the faculty on my first day--i was nervous
the other assistants are super nice too!
one of them helped me get a spot on the MOM project (where we go down southern VA for a few days to help people who cant afford proper dental care)--im really excited about that!!! that will be so awesome and fulfilling!

one morning, while walking to work, i was dressed in scrubs... i was walking hurriedly, because usually in richmond, i just do. at a corner there was a construction guy... and while i was in the middle of the road crossing the street the guy said, "GOOD MORNING, DOC!"--i didnt even notice that he was talking to me till i crossed the other side of the street--it certainly made me laugh a little. i turned around and smiled at the old man and said good morning quickly--LOL! its not like i could turn around and be like, im sorry, im not actually a doctor, let alone started classes for dental school yet. i kinda felt bad that i just kept walking, as though i tricked him... but it also felt good that im a little bit closer to my dream

today, the grads went to this nitrous seminar/class, and the lead assistant told me that i can go--its pretty much for the whole department that i work in--- oh man!! i learned so much about nitrous that i didnt know before. let alone about local and general anesthesia. at a different session, the instructor was showing us how to use the safety/emergency/nitrous/oxygen equiptment and she said, dont rely on the students!-- something about they get confused or dont use their heads right away (something like that, not really sure about the exact wording). man, i felt kinda akward... HAHAHA, im just a dumb student! made me laugh in the inside

i must say, today=good day

the faculty is great
the assistants are awesome!!!
and the grads are super nice

The whole School of Dentistry Rocks!!!
