I made it through my first week of the dental hygiene program. Phew!!! I am overwhelmed and kind of confused. I am already behind in some of my classes and I hope to be able to catch up this weekend. I have a test that is due this weekend also so I am planning on taking it tomorrow morning and getting it out of the way so I can study the other material that I need to learn.
Starting a new job the first week of school doesn't help in the stress level and feelings of being overwhelmed either. I started working at Office Depot Thursday afternoon doing training as a cashier. I don't know if I am going to be able to work at Office Depot and keep up with my school work. The hours that they schedule for are kind of hard to work with because of my school schedule and I think the manager is going to schedule me for more hours than I want to work. I will try it out for a couple of weeks and see how things go.
Now on to a weekend full of studying and cramming my brain full of information that I have to remember forever. Thats one thing that is hard about the dental hygiene program...It's not like your general courses where once you take each test you can just forget the information. I have to remember all the information for two years for boards and the rest of my life while I practice dental hygiene. I can do it...I can do it...I can do it.
