It’s the final weekend to the DMD 2 1st semester ~ and we’re going to spend it studying periodontium. How hard is it? Well, a quick survey tells us we have about 1000 power point slides to go through and memorize, a few addendum study material, book… etc. It’s funny though, how […]

To myself […]

Sitting in the proper posture and staring down at the tile, I began drilling/preparing/prepping. The burr, spinning […]
Test in 8 hours… ish. Heh.
