Time for a catch up...

Well I have some bad news, you know those pictures I have been saying I am going to put up.. well they are on my camera, but I cant find the cord for the computer!! Bummer, so i am going to keep looking for it.

And I have some good news... ready for it???........... Well I passed ALL of my board exams!! YAY!!! I am so happy I dont EVER have to take them again! So that leads to me saying I am graduating on Thursday, and then I will be able to apply for my Minnesota Dental Hygiene License and that then makes me a RDH!!! **registered Dental Hygienist**

And you know that Chiropractic job I was interviewing for, well I got that too!! So I am going to be working there all day (730-530) Mondays, and Wednesdays and then Friday from 630-11. I am currently just working when I am not in school those days.

My bridal shower is coming up fast. And I cant wait for it!! My mom already told me she is getting my a black kitchen aid, and I am SOOOO excited for it!! I cant wait to make mashed potatoes after I get it. I know for sure that is one gift I will NOT be waiting until the wedding to open! :)

Also I decided to start working out to slim down a little before the wedding, I started the 30 day shred, and WOW it kicked my booty!! I am so sore. I started to do it again tonight and I was to sore to do it. So tomorrow it is! I can already feel my arms getting my toned and my tummy getting more toned, along with my legs! they kill!

I sent out most of the invites on Friday, which I am excited to have that HUGE check done with!! I need to make some more because I didnt have enough!! Arrggg.. Our list keeps getting bigger and bigger. One of our guest pulled me aside this morning at church and told me how much she loved them! Which makes me excited I was starting to not like them so much, considering we spent so much time on them! I cant wait to see who is the first to RSVP.

Well people I think this is it for now. I am sure you didnt even wonder where the heck I was!!

I survived!!

I am allllll done with my National Boards, and it feels sooooooooooooooo good. I got way more nervous about it then I had to I think. It wasnt as hard as I thought it was going to be. I am hoping that it was good enough to pass!

I spent yesterday evening and this late afternoon doing a whole lot of NOTHING, and I have to say it feels good.

I had my interview with the chiropractor office this afternoon. I think it went well. The Dr. seemed fine with working around my school schedule, so that is good. They are basically adding a person because they are getting so busy. Which is great! He also seemed to understand how dental hygiene jobs work, that it is hard to find a full time job. The job is mainly front desk, and billing. The hourly range is just up my alley so that is good. He said he will let me know next week to see if I have a second interview. Actually he said "We will get a hold of you next week to set up a second interview" So I thought that was good.

Well all is well, I am hoping to get to church tonight. It has been a while since I have gone so I am excited.

3 days left

Thats right only 3 days until I have to take my national board exam. I am soooo nervous, and I have been studying my butt off. But I guess if I didnt procrastinate so much, I wouldnt be so nervous. Thanks dad, for such a great trait! haha. I am really trying to take a deep breath and take it one day at a time. It is an 8 hour written test. It consists of the last 2-3 years of information about Dental Hygiene and some general class information. The morning is component A, and that consists of 200 multiple choice questions, and then the afternoon is component B and that consists of 150 questions about case studies. So basically made up patients, it is all mutliple choice, so you would think it wouldnt be that hard. It cost $225 to take the test, so in the long run of my education it wouldnt be the worst if I failed, I will just have to pay that amount again and take the test again. It seems like a lot of money but when you look at how much I have paid for all of my exams it is pretty cheap.



I have to take a "law" exam on what I can do and not do in the state of Minnesota for Dental Hygiene, that was $80, and then I have to take a patient up to the cities to clean their teeth. They need to have so much calculus on so many teeth and so many surfaces and it has to be the right kind of calculus, this test cost me $860, and then I will have to pay an extra $200 to rent an operatory. And then most people pay the patient to take a day off of work and come up and sit for me. So that is a test I DONT want to fail, cause I would have to pay that amount all over again... arggg - this is making my stomach turn knots just talking about it.

Irritated

I am sooooooo irritated right now! We took my car in to the shop on Friday morning, and I yet have gotten it back! I am not sure if I am just antsy to get it back so we can take it to the car dealer or what. But does this seem extra long to anyone else? arggg



I am also irritated about having to study for much about this stupid National Board Exam. I have to take it a week from today!! Here I am on my spring break with is being SOOO nice out. The weather is like 65 today, and I am stuck inside studying. arggg



I am irritated that I went to the doctor like 2 weeks ago, cause I had a sinus infection. He gave me z-pack antibiotic, which i dont care for myself, and I dont think it worked. I still have tons of pressure around my sinus area. I need to get some real antibiotics that are going to work! arggg

I am irritated that the website in the above post didnt work! arggg Not sure what that is about, but here is a picture of the beauty!

I am an irritated women today, can you tell some female hormones are running high this week, along with the stress from that stupid exam?
