Well, the first week of school has come and gone now. It wore me out!! We are in clinic two full days a week, and this semester we have so many requirements that i can't imgine how anyone is going to finish. My first patient of the semester was a nice gentleman, but gives out WAY too much information about himself. He is between 65 and 75 years old, never married, and apparently has very few friends because the entire first half hour of our appointment was spent listening to him go on and on and on about how he only finished the 6th grade and didn't go get his GED until he was in his 40's and how he scored the high score on his brokers license exam and how he has been a full vegan for 22 years and how he only drinks distilled water.........I am supposed to be working on this guys mouth and I can't get anywhere near it because it keeps moving and words keep coming out!!! Not to mention the fact that he basically proposed to me right there. He wanted to know why I was not married and how this could be possible because I'm so beautiful and if my boyfriend doesn't get with it he'll marry me because he's SO wealthy and just on and on and on. Yeah. I can't wait for our appointment next week. I might have to take a shot before school that day. Other than that, classes are back to their normal grind. I have quite a few more papers to write this year, and more projects to complete, but I only have 8 months and 8 days left until I graduate!! I hope all goes well. Anybody out there live in southern Utah and not had your teeth cleaned in a long time?? Please let me know. Also, I need a "special needs" patient (Being handicapped mentally or physically; only having one hand or being blind or something counts too), and I need someone with periodontal problems, so if you've noticed that your teeth are starting to feel loose and you are not under the age of ten when this is nomal, PLEASE let me know. All of your thoughts and comments and especially if you can help me out with these patient requirements are greatly appreciated. Thanks!
