What a surprise from Ethics! A part of today’s lecture, I couldn’t find amongst the power points already given. Because of that, I took lots of notes, and actually paid a bit more attention than I would’ve usually. Horrah! Of course, soon as Ms. Sarkis switched to a powerpoint that I […]

I don’t think anything by Will Ferrell could ever become a favorite film of mine. I like laughs, but I just can’t find myself laughing at him until I get all silly like ~ Ricky Bobby got some good laughs - but it’s just not 100% kickass funny! And I don’t know why […]

Two serious classes, back to back! As I sit here, starting at the last homosexualish Bacardi Silver (strawberry) - I think I’m gonna get my ass kicked in two or so weeks. To add Anatomy and Physiology into the mix? It’s gonna be tough! Even though the stuff from BioChem is […]

So this is the start of the “real deal.” Not a lot of preamble, today’s lecture just jumps right into the meat of things without really a pause! Dr. Bergethon really knows his stuff, and it really shows as he churn off list of things he’d like us to know. Curses! […]

I would say today’s lecture is worth 6 minute walk. Radiology may be a difficult subject, but not at this level in my opinion. Slides were on handout, it should be posted on courseinfo later. However, Dr. Gohel’s lectures haven’t been posted yet.
Lecture Notes
Summary:
What are the factors controlling the X-ray beam? […]

Today, guest lecturer on History of Dentistry by Dr. Hutter. Very good speaker, and learned a bit more about who did what in dentistry! All the notes are on the slides within courseinfo.

Fourty some strangers, stranded on a deserted tropical island far away from civilization after a plane crash. An island of unknown, delivering death to those who tread too heavily, the strangers must individually find their destiny and come together as a team to survive.
24 episodes in 2 nights ~ anyone can tell I enjoyed […]

It really sucks for people who commute for 30+ minute each way to attend one lecture only on Ethics. It’s just hell! Even me walking to school felt like I’m doing too much just for a 50 minute lecture on ADA Codes of Conduct and other organization’s belief on how to best conduct […]

Again, the reason why I fail. Classes start out as unchallenging, so I slack ~ and one day, even when the classes became challenging, I would still be slacking and unaware until suddenly, there’s no way of recover the time lost! So I say Fudge It!
Radiology
- Taught by Dr. Anita Gohel
- Subject: X-Ray […]

Perhaps in the near future, in order to fly in the friendly skies you will have to: 1) Stripped down completely 2) Thorough cavities probed 3) Whole body CT/X-ray Scanned 4) Sanitized 5) Then issued a standardized space jump suit. Everything you own will be shipped separately via unmanned aeroplane to be picked up […]

It’s kinda weird we only had Biochemistry today, but… it is what it is! Again, lecture was introductory mostly that touched on the macromolecules, the similarities between prokaryotes, eukaroytes, and all life in general. Then, went into the DNA model, and who were the main contributors. The one thing that did stood […]

I count today as the first day of Dental School here at Boston University. Although I’ve already gone through a month+ of … pre-dental education here at BU, they don’t really matter in the overall scheme of things. Yesterday, we got our books distributed to us ~ I chose the DVD version of […]

They’ve invented anti-stupid drug!
BERLIN (Reuters) - A German scientist has been testing an “anti-stupidity” pill with encouraging results on mice and fruit flies, Bild newspaper reported Saturday.
It said Hans-Hilger Ropers, director at Max-Planck-Institute for Molecular Genetics in Berlin, has tested a pill thwarting hyperactivity in certain brain nerve cells, helping stabilize short-term memory and improve […]

We were given our tools of trade yesterday ~ a year’s worth of drills, picks, teeth, and other long named equipments within 4 cases! I’ll put up some pictures, but unfortunately, the gallery plugin for the wordpress is broken and I can’t use it at all =( Wish I could learn some php, […]

The Return of Christ
I wish I can come up with things like this - it’s hilarious! A simple link would suffice ~ so I don’t spoil the tears of laughter when you reach the summation point of the article. I remember the day still, when Rob stayed with me after work to teach […]
