ho crap.
Anyways, we're on our last week of Radiology and I've just finished nearly all my chapter quizes and my entire lab book. I STILL can't tell the difference between buccal and lingual side amalgams on an x-ray. I know when the PID moves lingual side moves with it, while buccal side moves against it, BUT I CAN'T SEE THE DIFFERENCE ON THE X-RAY. It's like, a little tiny difference between the films, so small I can't really see it. So I'm pretty much going FAIL charting. I FINALLY just started doing the 'when in doubt, chart on the buccal/facial side' rule, as well as guessing (let's see, since these are anterior but I'm seeing amalgam I'm guessing that's on the lingual side, amirite?)
Anyways, I got an 85% on the RHS mock-exam, I have to have a 90% to pass the class. My first live patient full mouth series was not DANB admissible, so I'm hoping and praying my second one is because I do not want to go out on externship without getting my license (I'd still be able to take x-rays because I would still be a student, thank god, but it's a pain in the ass). I finished my bite-wings, occlusials, and digital bite-wings today so that's good. So now all I need to do is turn in the rest of my vocab, including the DANB vocab, finish those two quizes I had somehow forgotten to do, pass the RHS with 90% or better, and take my second set of live patient x-rays. Oh, and do my final clinical exam. Not much, in other words.
I've got three days left in this term. WILL I MAKE IT?
Ohgodohgodohgod. *PANIC*
Also, while not as hot as it was this weekend, IT IS STILL FUCKING HOT! If it's 85 outside it's 95 in my apartment. I have my airconditioner going full blast but it's undersized for my apartment and has to compete with my reptile lights. I do NOT want to see what my electricity bill's going to be this month. *whimper*
PS Parental Unit? Since I now know your read my journal, after much arm-twisting on my part, I am GIVING YOU GUYS EXPRESS PERMISSION TO POST! I even have anonymous commenting turned on, although I do log IPs. Especially my stories because I am a total review whore.

Plus neither of my live patient x-rays were DANB quality, so I have to try to get a good set during my externship. I'll still be a student then so I'll be able to push the x-rat button, but if I don't get a good set during my externship I won't be certified, which means I won't be able to get my license. Which would really suck so I'm super disappointed right now.
And this term's supposed to be the worst. It's my last term and I'm flipping out.
Anyways, I'll talk to you guys tomorrow. Love, Me.
But you passed and will do better later. We are releived.
