Mock March
Mock March Post!
Even though the month of March has been over for 2 months now.. I wanted to share with you guys what has happened. It's been a crazy ride for both of us. First of all, I had Written Mock Boards. Phew! It was not what I expected at all. I wrote about it a week before the exam on my "Toothy Adventures by One Busy Bee" blog. The one thing that I was really bummed about was that I studied since January to prepare myself and yet when I saw the test in front of me, it felt like I didn't study anything at all. It was completely insane and I had a little panic attack I think lol! The worst part was that we had to wait until we knew what we got hahahaha! It was a good experience though. Now we are definitely scared and pumped up to get ready for the real one.
This is my picture right before the exam! My cute classmates made us baggies to wish us luck! <3 p="">
Also, another big event is that Curt turned 27 this year. My last post was probably about my thoughts on getting old and changing. Even if it wasn't my birthday yet, I knew that Curt and I were not getting any younger and it definitely made me think of what lies ahead for our future. It was insane!
My good friend Cassie and I... We are super excited that we passed hahahahaha! Phew!

Anyway, for his birthday, I got a deal on Groupon that had to do with swimming at The Crater up in Midvale. It was such a good price that I didn't want to let the opportunity slide and at the same time, we both have been talking about going there for awhile now. It was so hard to keep it a secret from him because I was so excited. Eventually, I cracked due to some unforeseen schedule changes since I also had UDA (Utah Dental Association) Convention that weekend. But he was still excited when I told him about it. Unfortunately. Curt had to work on his birthday and I had the convention going on that day as well. It was a bummer but we also made the most out of it later in the day.
We went the next day instead and it was a beautiful day to drive up to Midvale. It was a bit chilly but still nice. Here's the entrance to the Crater.
Once you enter The Crater, here's what the inside looks like! It's actually pretty neat!
We even asked the nice lifeguard/manager to take a picture of us. He was such a nice guy and even held my phone for me while we were in the water. The water temperature was very warm and it was so relaxing to be in there. For the whole hour we were there, it was peaceful and quiet since there were only 3 other couples. The water was dark blue and I think it was about 70-90 ft deep. Knowing myself, I was freaked out at first just because I couldn't see the bottom.. (yes, I have that phobia) But luckily, we were able to snorkel. It wasn't too bad after that. It was cool to see some people scuba diving in the bottom. There wasn't much to see but it was still cool to watch them. If you have the chance, you should go here and visit. I never felt so relaxed and serene since I gave up my monthly massages.
After, we just played outside the Crater and decided to walk around... The sun was so bright and the warm water made it possible for us to just enjoy soaking up in the sun and getting some Vitamin D and exercise.
These stairs felt like a good workout! LOL
Made it to the top of the Crater!

M.I.A. and Valentine's Day
Fellow family and friends, I apologize for not updating my blog in the past 2-3 weeks. Life has been a chaos as some of my fellow classmates would agree. Where have I been and what have I been up to you may ask? I've only been in school for a month a half and it seems like school is already going fast. In the past few weeks, we have had 5 exams. NOT quizzes, but 5 EXAMS. Insane?? Yes! My physical and mental health are still trying to recover from "Hell Week." LOL! I shall explain why I gave last week its name.
So 2 weeks ago, we had our first Head and Neck Anatomy exam that consisted of 3 chapters (not bad). I actually got a good score on that so I was pretty happy. Then the week after, we had our first Embryology and Histology exam which consisted of again 3 chapter (still not bad) and I got a good grade on that as well. This last week is what I have referred to as "Hell Week" due to these reasons:
1. Monday: 2 exams on 2 of our harder classes: Morphology and Radiology on the same day and right by each other (both consisted of AT LEAST 5 chapters each)
2. We had to complete our Extra-Oral Exam process evaluation by the end of the week in clinic
3. Wednesday: Our Pre-Clinic Theory exam which consisted of almost 15 chapters total! 15!!!!!!!
4. Due to studying so much, all of us looked like the cast of "The Walking Dead" with dark circles under our eyes and totally zoned out in every class
5. Our fluoride paper was due on Thursday.
6. SADHA council held meetings to finalize our budget for our class.
*Note: In our school, we have what we call a SADHA council. It is the Student American Dental Hygiene Association. It's basically a student body council for the whole class. Even though I was not planning on running, my name was on it 3x for 3 different positions (President, VP, and Secretary). I don't know if it's because people like me or they're trolling and want me to be busy so I can fail hahahahaha! But anyway, I got elected as the Vice-President. I'm pretty happy about our council and now we're trying to get everybody involved and put them to work. :)
So what do you guys think? Pretty busy, eh?! This coming week we still have 2 exams: Preventive Dentistry and Spanish. Also, several of us have ordered our loupes. Loupes are very essential in the dental field. It helps us get the job done by helping us with our posture and back and we look very silly wearing them. It's still pretty cool though! And I got my business cards in the mail. I mean, it's not a necessity for school but it helps put our names out there in the market to get some patients on our chair. Come see me when I start seeing patients next semester. We'll have a blast!!!! :)
I also wanted to thank my sweet sweet husband for putting up with me through this whole week. It's been crazy and I even forgot about Valentine's Day. I came home and he was making dinner for us since he knew I was exhausted and that I didn't want to go out. He had flowers on the table and a chocolate bar.
He made awesome steak, garlic mashed potatoes, and steamed veggies for dinner! yummy!!! So grateful for him! <3
Well, another week is coming so I better put my game face on!!! Have a great week everyone! :)

Our dining table has become my study corner!
