VA. TA, and the end!

I guess I haven't written much about the VA Its been good to go up there. I don't think I have seen so many people take so many medications. Sometimes I wonder about that. They are just on soo many. I've learned a lot from being up there. It was good last semester and improving on my scaling with Hansen and this semester and improving my dental screening etc with Mcconaughy. I have loved being a TA its a long day on Wednesdays but I have fun with it. Ive learned and have been able to review a lot. I like encouraging people I think and sometimes people just get so stressed I just have to remind them to chill and itll all be okay. Its good to see how much improvement has been made, and in turn how much I've improved. Its exciting to be done! I took my last final this morning. It took about 14 minutes lol I had to go to work so I'd make it on time. I did. It just feels so good its been a real time of reflection lately. I feel like I've grown sooo much. I love our class! The best ever! I love all you girls and I just don't know how I could have gotten through this without everyone. Life is soo much better if you just work together! Its funny to write this and the song that came on the radio is "youre gonna miss this" I guess in a lot of ways I will, but I feel ready to move on. Its been such a good thing for me. Thanks for everyone and all of their support! If anyone ever really reads this lol thanks a ton! I'm glad I got to write all this stuff cause I probably wont remember it all. Well bye! Off I go to be not just a dental hygiene student but a dental hygienist! I am sooo excited for that! Its just cool to think how I'll be able to put RDH, BS behind my name now! It really is like a dream to me. Ive wanted it pretty bad! There have been several of those "wow I'm actually doing this" moments. Its been a great ride, and I am looking forward to what the future has to hold.
