omg today is ANOTHER shit day )): i cannot believe it omg, i've had 2 shitty days in a row alr :O it's only the 2nd day of sch omg.
my back hurts and my hands hurt omg. the backache is something that i'm sorta adjusting to... but the handpain is sth different omg. i feel like my hands are on fire omg, and every bone, joint and tendon in my hand is aching. )): did a lot of strenuous stuff today haha first we had orthodontic technique in the morning, and we started off with learning how to bend an Adam's clasp for ortho retainers. it's freaking tiring and freaking painful omg. i'm ok with wire bending for denture clasps and rests, but i think i have no talent with ortho wires omg ): the configuration is just so... complex. so many problems omg. my arrowheads just don't look symmetrical, the lingual leg always ends up being longer than the buccal leg. i haven't even started trying to bend the crossover part of the clasp yet, cos i still can't perfect my arrowheads omg. ): and it's so painful omg my hands were shaking from fatigue after just 1 hr of futile wire bending ): oh shit omggggg srsly. i really have no talent at all in any area of dentistry omg wth. i really have no idea how i got through the MDT. must have been a fluke la.
and then after lunch there was 1 hr of DPH (sucks omg, boring ttm.) then crown competency retest. omg i'm already on my 2nd retest, and i still can't perfect my technique omg. i really don't think i'll pass this round of retest. i really don't deserve to pass anyway, cos i'm still so horrible at making the provi. ): srsly, any form of resin is really not my friend at all. ): today the consistency of the resin was doughier than usual but it still took ages to set. and i pulled the provi off from the tooth too soon i think, it was half-setting, and so the entire palatal margin tore off, leaving a big hole ): then i patched it up but there was still a distal marginal gap. looked at the clock, 5 min left omg. chionged to the lab to polish the provi and then chionged back to the clinic to try and salvage the distal marginal gap. in the end i was so desperate i just vaselined the tooth and slapped some resin onto the provi at the deficient area and left it on the tooth and handed up. haha. crap. but at least i had time to polish. i'm improving i guess!! getting better but not perfect yet. ):
my crown prep was a disappointment though... it didn't look like anything i'd ever cut before ): usually i take pride in cutting quite decent-looking preps but today's one looked strange :O maybe after 3 weeks of not holding a handpiece over the hols, i'd forgotten how to cut preps. )):
anw it'd be a miracle if i pass this round. sigh but i'll prob have to retake next round. and then i'll get slowed down even more for bridge course. ):
my patients are gonna suffer along with me i realise ): like poor sweet little mr yeo ): he's gonna have to wait for me to finish my bridge course and take competency(goodness knows when that'd be) before i can start doing the bridge for him ): in the meantime he has to put up with the pain from food impaction omg. it's not fair omg srsly. ))): i feel paiseh and stupid and laopok and helpless omg. wth. ):
i/m damn bloody tired now omg, still have to study for perio and oral surgery kill me now omg. ):
