It is with a sense of numb relief that I mark the completion of dental school in this space. My final check-out meeting was this morning, graduation is this Friday. I started four years ago, on a hot August day. I lived elsewhere then. Mykala and I weren’t married. I had no idea what I was in for. It’s no understatement to say I was a different person.
I actually started crying for joy last night, jumping up and down and hugging Mykala. I had my hand up in front of the screen for a few seconds after I’d logged in, hoping for the best and bracing for the worst. We took a closer look at the numbers… and then called to confirm them this morning, which is when I finally let the last adrenaline-fueled knot in my chest uncurl. I don’t know if I’ll write more about it because, frankly, I’m ready to be done tagging things “dental school”. But, the news: I passed my final FINAL final set of boards. Worrying, waiting, for four years… I finally got to say to Mykala and my parents today: “I’m out of the woods.”
As of 5 minutes ago, I turned in my final case study for physical evaluation II, and I am DONE WITH THE MOST DIFFICULT YEAR OF DENTAL SCHOOL. WOOOOOO!
Never thought I’d get here, frankly. And yet, it’s a beautiful 68° in May, I’m on break for a few weeks until I start in clinic, and life is grand.
Holy good lord. Tarnation. Yikes. Gosh golly. Good night that took a long time. I remember saying July 4th this would be done, a deadline I shamefully blew through and which Nils could have yelled at me for. At last, I don’t believe it (you most certainly do not, either), but it is done. The great tumbledry redesign of 2005 is ACTUALLY DONE. I’ve been spending so much time on this that its hard to know where to start. I can say: look forward to one image per day in the imageLog, actual updates, and more.
Done. The website is done.
I actually do not have the energy to write any more than that. Detailed post come tomorrow.
