Summer semester started yesterday. We only have two main classes, prosthodontics and operative dentistry. We have already had a semester of pros so that is not very exciting but I think operative will be. We are going to learn how to do cavity preparations, amalgam fillings, composites, stuff like that. We've already gotten to play with all of the materials in biomaterials but now we will actually get to use it properly. Which is good, because in one year from right now we will be doing all these things on real people!
We also have to take 16 hours of selective classes this summer. One of the classes I took is oral surgery an introduction to sedation. We had a meeting today and we found out what we might get to do. The doctor in charge said we may be able to start an IV, push meds, and watch the procedure which might include implants, bone graphs, or wisdom teeth extractions. That is way cool!
I think its going to be a pretty awesome summer.

glad it's you and not me learning all this stuff. just those 2 or 3 days i worked at the dentists office were bad enough. and all i really did was suction and take x-rays out. but it still totally grossed me out... and too many people have disgusting mouths and breat. yuck.
when can we take my dress to get cleaned? and which saturdays are you available to go look at bridesmaids dresses?
