Not a good week

This week was NOT good. First of all on Monday my patient did not show up. I finally called her and she said she had to cancell but she " didn't have my phone number". Right! Anyway so I was frantically calling anyone I could think of to come in but no one would answer their phone. When I was about to give up hope, my sister's roommate called me back and she just happen to be done with class and still on campus. I told her my predicament and she so willingly came in to my rescue. I was so thrilled, she let me take a pano and a set of BWX, which I was in desperate need of. So after starting an hour late, it turned out to be an okay day. She was only a 1B but that was okay with me because I still need to get my quad numbers up. Anyway so then comes Wednesday clinic. I was excited because I knew my patient was going to be there because I was bringing him in myself. My patient was my brother-in-law, he is Tongan, was a class 2 and, he has never had his teeth cleaned before. I got started on him and it was taking me forever to get just one quad done. And then when I was done with that, I got a scale check and I missed a ton of spots!! I was really frustrated. As you can imagine, his calculus was very tenacious and very hard to get off. It was a good experience for me I guess but I was really upset at the end of clinic because I only got three quads done. I felt so bad that he now has to come back and take another day off of work. I am also upset because now that is another clinic day that I needed for my other patients to get all of my requirements done. I am really feeling the pressure now, I am crying a lot lately because I feel like I am not going to be able to fulfill all my requirements(especially my class 3). I am going to be so glad when this semester is over, but then I have two more to worry about!! I hope that someday I can look back on this and laugh because right now I am stressed to the max and I don't think Ican take anymore or last much longer!!!!
