Well, I had a friend(Shannon!) request that I update my boring blog. You see I have a particularly hard time competing with all you peeps out there with darling kids...I've got nothing! So anyway, Trent and I have been up to the usual. Recently we watched a few movies...August Rush, The Bee Movie, and I watched Hairspray with my friend Meg. Trent would never be caught dead watching a musical...although interestingly he liked August Rush(shh, we won't tell him they sing) ;) I have recently found myself with absolutely nothing to do with my time. Since taking the Board exams a few weeks ago I don't have to spend every minute studying. At first, I thought this would be nice, however now I have no idea what else to do. I don't know what will happen in May when I am graduated, but have to wait until June to receive my Dental Hygiene license and begin work. I try to take up time by attending the local gym...however, we all need a little junk in the trunk, so my workouts just don't last too long.
Good news! I graduate in approximately 3 weeks! School ends in 2 weeks! Yep, that's right folks they are releasing me into the real world. I graduate May 2nd, then the following week on May 8th I take my clinical board exams. Let me just tell you a little about this test. They make you find this specific patient(that rarely exists) with a certain amount of calculus(tarter) and an otherwise healthy mouth. I have found my patient and his name is Oscar. So, this week, for Mockboards (which are just like boards but the real big examiner people don't come) I had Oscar come in, to clean some of his teeth. I wanted to get used to his mouth and practice a bit. Well, I failed mockboards, I missed some calculus pieces! That's right, I failed on the guy I intend to use for the real $900 big deal exam. So, I spent Tuesday night in bed watching the biggest loser, I have recovered now because I watched "The Last Lecture" by Mr. Pausch...it is very inspirational. I recommend it to anyone. He says that we hit brick walls so that we can find out how much we want something. So, I failed mockboards because I had to decide if I really wanted this in life! TaDa, I do! I want to be a dental hygienist and I want to pass boards.

Ya-Hoo for you! Nice to hear from ya....isn't the lecture amazing? I saw him when he was on Oprah. Wish I was as advanced and wise. Thanks for posting....Hi to Trent for us!
Ahh.... one day you will have your own little munchkin or two. Then we will see you posting like crazy!! It will be fun to see a little Trent with curly hair!!
You need to have a break from everything, I am glad that you are somewhat forced to! You are like the energizer bunny! I am glad you are doing well and I hope to see and hear from you soon!
Wow, your schooling sounds intense! I bet you can't wait to be done! I know I was pretty relieved when I finished! But with Car still in school, it kind of feels like I still am too. Anyway, I think we might be visiting your ward on Sunday, so I will have to look for ya! (And vice versa) :)
