well i have started summer school and i kind of really like it. its weird. its my microbiology lab and its disgustingly amazing to me how bacteria is EVERYWHERE! literally. i have cultured various bacteria from things like the toilet, pond water, fountain water, human skin, mouth, door knobs, etc. I have successfully cultured shigella, fecal coliform, staphylococcus, streptococcus, and salmonella. kinda cool huh? then today, i made my very first agar plate. i guess you can say im kinda proud of myself!
this is an agar plate with cultured bacteria!
another exciting thing i have been fortunate enough to do was assist in a free gingival graft! it you are unaware of what this is it is a gum graft for exposed root of the tooth. i felt weird assisting in the procedure. i had never been exposed to something in the office like this before. in fact for a moment in time i was unsure if i could be a dentist anymore cause i didnt know if i was capable of doing it. i guess its just one of those things you have to get used to. anyways here is a video of the procedure i sat in. it is graphic so i understand if you do not want to watch but mom and dad, please watch. or at least try. just because i want you to see what i got to take part in and experience!
sunday i went and saw bridesmaides with alexis. sooo freaking funny i totally recommend it to everyone! anyways i have homework and have to be in at work tomorrow at seven ugh! loves!
