40 hour famine Sunday

Finally started 40 hour famine for this year. I missed last week's actual famine weekend, as it was my good friends' birthdays, so I had to have dinner/party with them. Popular date, 22/8. In addition, I am actually starting the starvation later than the proposed time frame. All because of another friend's gathering last night, where it would have been boring if I did not join in with the eating and drinking. It was an awesome night, to say the least =)

The feeling of hunger is setting in though. I did not have a large meal like I usually do before fasting this time, so I really don't know how it will turn out. I do have uni tomorrow, and it is OMOP in the morning *gulps*, where I could be slaughtered alive. Sigh. At least I don't have clinic tomorrow, which means I can probably survive it. I would not see a patient on an empty stomach. I would probably be the perpetrator of some irreversible damage if that was the case. Scary thought. I will be able to eat again at 5pm tomorrow evening, so... let us think about that later tomorrow.

Aside from this hunger bothering me... I shall be productive today and study it up. Have not done a single drop of intellectual absorption this weekend, so am feeling a little apprehensive. Exams are way too close for comfort.

Oh, and also met some new friends last night at the gathering. Quite interesting people. All fun loving and easy going.

Like I said before, I love it when things just click. =)

If humans were polyphyodont

Liong had an epiphany whilst brushing his teeth. He shared it with me:

"If we [humans] were polyphyodont, we [dentists] would not exist."

It is like thunder striking earth, a tornado sucking up a sheep, a gold fish tipped out of its fish bowl, a person being splashed by road-side water by an inconsiderate speeding car... what an epiphany.

I was reminded today of this incident by my patient. She actually said to me that if we changed teeth more frequently, we would not need to come to visit dentists. My passion will then die. My job will then not exist. My interest in this field will not have even be conceived.

The horror.

Aside from remembering this event, I did my first 3 surface adhesive restoration today. My patient loved it. She could not even tell where the restoration was. I was thrilled out of my shoes. It felt damn good. Seriously, f*cking good.

Another f*cking good event was that she did not even know I injected her with LA. She did not even notice the first injection, only when she saw the needle that she "felt" the second injection. The third patient to tell me I give painless LA. Now that's f*cking awesome. She actually told me that today was her first time experiencing painless LA, all other times were horrible.

That made my day. =)

Another up side of the week was that I finally got my new Threadless T shirts! The bulk order finally came along, and I got my 6 new shirts! They are all so awesome! There was even a dental related one... oh, the epicness of it all. =)

Sorry blog for not posting for so long, but priorities in life just makes things hard. Sigh. I will write more when I have time. I need to motivate myself to study more... instead of writing here though. Siiiigh.

Unless I turn this into a study space.
OK, eww.
No.

At Jane's

What a week.
What a day.
Clinic was not FTW today. Sigh.

Jane's is FTW though. Smiles.

So had a spontaneous urge to go out dancing last night. Texted Jane for an opinion. Highly regarded and liked. Deal established. Totally abolished on the day. Teehee. I love how spontaneous we are. Instead, the plan was to have dinner and study.

Study.

That... epic failed because we ended up watching House Bunny and eating. Eating. I ate so much. Was so hungry today and was craving cake. Sigh... will never loose the weight that I want to with all this cravings and mass food sessions. Sigh. Anyway, the movie was great, we had fun eating a lot of food... and then watching more YouTube videos... so much for the "study" plan.

Now I'm still up at this insane hour, finishing some orthodontics study. Quite interesting, even at this sleepy, brain malfunction time zone. =) Love it.

Will do a bit more... make more notes, then probably will head to bed.

Miss talking to that special someone. Really miss it. It's just so nice talking to him outside of the confined environment... a lot more... natural and real. Just... nice. GAH... crave.

Can I not PMS please.
