What is stress?!!

I finally had a patient with braces and the air poweder polisher wasn't as bad as I thought...but considering i wasn't the patient ha ha I only had clinic for one day last week because i was gone at a golf tournament. There have been a couple times where I have had full day clinic to make up for it...but surprisingly it isn't too exhausting. I think your mind and body prepares for it...which is what I am so looking forward to doing all next year:) The semester has gone by really fast and I am excited for the summer, yet I have learned a lot in clinic and the experiences that I have had. I have learned that stress is worrying about someone we have no control over and therefore it is pointless to be stressed. The hardest part of the program so far is finding patients that meet qualifications but it all works out in the end. I had a screening last Friday and I was able to find a class 3 patient and another one for a fellow student. All the hard work and patience definitely pays off in the end...just as long as patients show up on time! ha ha
