Funniest Simpsons Ever

I watched The Simpsons tonight. It was so funny. The whole family went in for their 6 month prophy appointments. My favorite quote:

Bart's Dental Hygienist: "Here's a new toothbrush. Make sure you brush and floss twice a day."
Bart Simpson: "Okay, wait. You want ME to do YOUR job?! Every night?! At home?! Yeah right." (and he throws his goodie bag in the trashcan).

Priceless.

I'm Pregnant!!!

I'm pregnant and so excited about it! We found out last Thursday and confirmed it with the doctor on Friday. It's still really early and I haven't been to the violating appointment yet, so I don't have an "official" due date...even though they are always wrong anyway. But, it should be mid-January. So, keep your fingers crossed that it all goes well!

Taking Control!

So I decided to change the blog layout. It's purple...the color of dental hygiene. If anyone has a problem...deal with it! (I was really bored at work)

How did this happen?!

Ok, so we all know that we all passed our national written. I was sitting here looking at my score today and the breakdown of the different subjects and how many I got correct etc. I looked at my pharmacology...9 out of 10?!!! I guess I did learn a few things in Dr. Schiffman's class...not because of anything he did, but because I freakin' taught myself! Another strong area that I was surprised at was Community Health. Thanks Mrs. Mecham!

I'm sorry about my rambling. I just pictured myself sitting and talking to all of you at lunch in the cafeteria....

Love y'all!

Lacey, Kim M. is here and Kim S. is coming next Tuesday.

Picture from the party

I'm sorry I haven't gotten the picture to you guys yet! I've been too busy playing! I'm back in town now and I'm emailing them to all of you. You'll probably get it in your email before you even read this.
I don't have text messaging...but so far it sounds like everyone has passed! I passed all three boards also, hooray!
Love you guys!

National Board Results

I just got a text from Kristin. She passed with a 99%. That's the highest score in UVSC history. Wowza. Jennie got a 91%. I just thought I'd brag about their amazing scores cuz I knew they wouldn't. Basically, I think our class proved that Board Reviews aren't necessary. (Although I still haven't gotten my results, and I probably was the first to FAIL). Anyway, I'd love to hear from everyone. How'd y'all do?

Love, Lacey

Hi everyone. Greetings from Ghana!

Well Andrea, Tammy and I made it to Ghana. Here are some cute pictures of our first day. We really wish Mrs. Mecham was here. We've already had many adventures, including the teenage boys that wanted to be our tour guides when they asked where we were staying Kim said "no thank you". She apparently didn't really understand them. Tammy informed us afterwards!

Also great news from me...I passed the clinical boards--99%! Woohoo!

More from Ghana later......

Another Success Story...

Ok, I know that I texted just about all of you, but I thought I'd post it on here anyway...I PASSED!!! I did much better than I thought! I didn't get a perfect score like our golden scaler recipient, but I passed! What relief I feel. Now I can enjoy getting married! Hope to see some of you on the 23rd!

Love all your guts!

Question:

Weren't we supposed to go through a "pinning ceremony?" I vaguely remember a discussion from our first year about the "pinning ceremony" at the end of our program. I thought we were supposed to raise our right hand and say the dental hygiene oath. I thought we were all supposed to get a pin or something.

Does anyone else remember this? Am I going crazy?

You guessed it, this is from

Talk about a biohazard

Brent and I made it to Austin safely. So far all I have been doing is trying to make our apartment livable.

Brent was vacuuming last night and came upon something hard and heavy. Too heavy to get sucked into the vacuum. He looked more closely, and it was a TOOTH!

No, not some wimpy, reabsorbed deciduous tooth. It was a fully-formed adult molar! By the look of the anatomy, I'd say it was a mandibular first molar. Good thing he didn't touch it.

I accidentally kept a box of gloves from when I took my clinical boards. This box has been my saving grace.

To get the whole story, log onto my blog here to your left. So gross!

Hope all is well with my 13 ladies!

Love, Lacey

Board Results

I've heard from a few people. I know Jennie, Kristin, & Kim Swain have passed. I just got my results today. Surprisingly, I got a 93%. I wish we knew what we got docked for. Anyway, I just hope everyone has recieved good news. If anyone has gotten bad news, they can retake boards in Texas and come stay with me.

Good luck to the girls who are doing theirs this weekend! I'll keep a prayer in my heart for you!

Love you all and miss you already,
Lacey
