School is easy so far, but there's just a lot to do. Easy is one thing, but a lot of reading assignments, weekly homework assignments, and weekly quizzes is another thing (it all adds up). I mean, the material is easy; I understand it fine. A lot of it is straight regurgitation, but it takes time to remember it. And time is what I don't have much of.
I think some of the stuff we are learning is just plain silly or maybe unnecessary. I feel like some of the stuff we are learning is what a dentist does, not a hygienist. Why are we learning all this? I thought that's what my dentist does, not a hygienist. It seems like we are assuming a lot of the responsibilities of a dentist. They tell us we are not to diagnose but essentially it seems like what we are doing is diagnosing or telling them the answer so they can make the final decision.
Most of the time, I'm sitting in class thinking what a joke this is. Are they serious? Like I don't know how to hold a pencil and they have to reteach us. Or how to sit properly in a chair - we had a few lectures on ergonomics. For instance, and this is to all you people out there in the computer field, did they have to teach you how to type? Or how to sit at the computer desk properly? I highly doubt it.
Well, that's all I'll say for now. I don't want to get myself in trouble.

I meant to put this up a long time ago but I didn't have time. I was swamped with reading assignments like you wouldn't believe. I'm probably not supposed to put this up, but who cares.
So click here to see my class!
