Famous Last Words: OK MOM

Go Dentistry! Authority Dental

This week was really good overall.  It was a busy week, but I managed time well.  So far, this class has been very enjoyable.  I do not have much experience with writing my own stories, so learning how to become a better creative writer has been fun.  I also think I will progress in my storytelling skills as the semester goes on.  My best story so far I think is "King Crab vs. King Monkey."  In this story I really brought together the elements of three stories in a way that made sense.  In my following stories I wrote using themes or characters from only one story.  While these stories are good, they don't have the depth or plot twists that "King Crab vs. King Monkey" has.

My other classes are going well but are getting busier.  I have my first immunology test in a week and a half so I will start studying for that soon.  I also am about to start studying for the DAT.  I plan on studying for the DAT two hours a day until a month before the test.  Then I will start studying four or five hours a day.  I hope to take the test around April 20.

Yesterday, I spent seven hours volunteering at Oklahoma Mission of Mercy (OK MOM).  I assisted Dr. Spottswood who was an absolute blast to be around.  She gave me a hard time about my lack of assisting experience but she was just messing with me though so it was funny.  We helped 6 patients, among those was a man named Claude who might have been the best patient I have ever helped.  Claude had 5 teeth taken out.  The extractions took over and hour and a half because of how strong his maxilla was.  He stayed very calm and thanked us after it was over.  I think he will have way less pain in his mouth from now on!
