Week Two

Week two started on Monday with CPR certification followed by a brutal anatomy exam in the afternoon. I think the anatomy exam went about as well as I could have hoped for considering how difficult it was. I still have not got my score back yet and I am a little nervous to see how I did. We ended the week with the annual DS1 conference in Cannon Beach, Oregon. We had a great time and got to meet the leaders of our vertical integration teams. My group, the St. Johns Bridge group, seems like a good group of students and our faculty mentor also seem like a great instructor. We had a lot of fun staying at the resort. We were fed exceptionally well and we stayed in very nice rooms. The room that I was in had 3 plasma screen tv's and another LCD in the bathroom. During the day on Thursday, we were bussed out to the resort where we had some intorduction and team building activities. In the evening, we watched the Beavers beat Utah in the season opener. While watching, were were also drinking and socilaizing. After the game the party spilled out onto the beach where my classmates and I continued to drink more and socialize on the beach. We are becoming a tight bunch of students that likes to work hard and to have fun at the same time. I feel like we have the perfect balance of having fun and doing well. This group is going to make life in dental school for the next four years so much more enjoyable. Tonight I am off to Central Oregon to do a little fishing for the Labor Day weekend. I'll post pictures of fish on my next entry.
