mock hygienist day!

Yes, mock hygienist! That is how I felt about today. I am not a dental hygienist yet and it is going to be a long time until I am. I enjoyed going through the appt as it will be expected next semester, but I was super slow!! I took like and hour and a half to probe Marcy's mouth. I've never done a full mouth probe before and I am not looking forward to doing it again! The part that I struggle with the most is seeing the darn measurements!! I can visualize it, but reading the measurement is a struggle for me! My eyes get all blurred and I can't tell how many lines are showing on the probe. I felt like my face was in the machine that gets your perscription at the eye doctor. They keep asking if one or two or A or B is clearer and by the end I have no idea because my eyes are so tired and glazed over. Will I be able to see it and read it better with more practice?? What if it doesn't get easier for me to see it? I am scared!!

So, I don't feel good about today, but I feel better for doing it.
