Physiology quiz and Ethics Exam today ~ how exciting is that? Our first final exam of the year! Unfortunately, I think I did quite poorly on the ethics. I simply fell asleep too much in class and didn’t study thoroughly enough. Oh well… good thing it’s only for 1/2 a credit. [...]

Heh, I think only a few people may be still studying for the BioChem Quiz ~ I’m taking a quick break and writing this since I decided to slack off all day to watch Simoun. Why? I dunno – I just wasn’t motivated to study since nothing seem difficult yet… (thus the cause [...]

Almost full load today! During lunch, Dr. Bergethon held an extra BioChem review which made the whole day a lot tighter (like a tiger). Also started physiology again ~ I think it’s much better than EXCEL Physiology for some unknown reason. Maybe because Dr. Levy had to teach a wide variety of [...]

This week promises to be even more exciting than the last with the introduction of IDP tomorrow and physiology on Friday! I’m PUMPED! Okay, maybe not that pumped, but… pretty damn pumped. Having one class of Ethics this afternoon thoroughly sucked though… if anything, schedule all classes in the mornin, or afternoon! [...]

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! [...]

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.

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 [...]

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 [...]
