Orientation

What do I say? Orientation was awesome! I quit work last week, officially and I have been antsy, knowing that school started this last week for a lot of other people and I have to wait one more week. Well time does fly bc now it's only a couple days away. I forked over $700 for instruments today, received the rest of my books, took a tour of the clinic, and had a BBQ with the 2nd years. (I'll be there next year-finishing up the program.) It will go fast thinking about it, but I'm sure it will seem like an eternity during the process. I'm not scared or anything but I'm anxious to start, to get the whole experience and learn new things. It will be nice to have classes with people that you can work together and you all have the same goal in sight. It's about time is all I can say. I have been looking forward to this for just over 10 years now. FINALLY!!!! 
In the mean time I've picked up sewing/quilting more frequently. Hopefully that can be a stress relief and I can finish the projects that I have started. Isn't that always the problem. I'm also just thinking how nice it is to write all of this down. I probably will start a new blog of my Dental Hygiene experience. I've been debating that-since that will be my life for 2 years, but I don't want to mix it up with our "personal" life. Not that I put anything super personal down here anyway.
Basically, I've been anticipating this chaper in my/our life and I just can't believe it's already here. The anxiety of finding my own patients and making sure I meet all of the requirements-it's kind of nerve-racking. But I've been consoled that "every one" passes their boards. Of course they want to be able to boast of having the best students and program and it's because that's what they prepare for.
Well this new chapter is welcomed with open arms... Let's see where it takes us...
