It's my DELTAversary

It's my DELTAversary by anessa1105 featuring silk gowns

It's been four years since I crossed the "burning sands." The time has passed by so quicky. Oo-oop to Ark of the Covenant! Until Next Time...

We are going to make you EARN it

"We're flying first class... up in the sky, living the life,in the fast lane, and it won't change... oh the glamorous...the flossy flossy."

I have no idea why that song just popped into my head. But it did. lol. I am the opposite of glamorous, but I am right where I want to be and need to be.

I am currently taking a break from all of the "hecticness" of life. Second year was coasting along fine and then all of a sudden everything picked up all at once. So as a collective everyone has been pulling their hair out. Not only do we have to worry about actual tests, but proficiencies. Our proficiencies test our clinical skills to insure that we are compete in certain procedures before we enter clinic this summer.

The culminating proficiency is our "White Coat Proficiency"... We have to do a full exam while one of our professors watches us and grades us. It is really nerve wracking, because it is 2 whole hours with a 25 page grading sheet. My White Coat is next week. And once we pass that we have our White Coat Ceremony, and that is on May 12th. I will be smiling from ear to ear across the stage. :)

I know a lot of medical, dental, optometry schools receive their "white coats" when they first enter, kind of like a hey you made it to ___ school. But I actually like the way my school does it. They make you EARN it, so they haze the heck out of you for two years and then when they feel like you deserve it, they give it to you in a ceremony. So that is pretty awesome. As of now my parents and my aunt are coming.

I am anxious to get the rest of my proficiencies over with. I had my contact lens one today that went really well. 2 more next week and then 1 the following week. Wish me luck guys... Until Next Time..
