Holiday Studies

So let's just say that planning to do a lot of DAT study over the holiday was a stupid idea. Granted, I got a lot done, but not as much as I planned. I have a lot to do. Same old story of, "Oh, you're trying to get in dental school" from people I meet and the obligatory "Did you always want to be a dentist?" I look forward to the day when it will be as simple as, "Well I taught high school for a few years and went to dental school. I have a practice in Austin...just had a baby....love what I'm doing...wouldn't change it for the world..." I talked to my buddy from high school - we both had medical dreams for a long time and both took some time off before committal. She's in her second year of med school and I was really proud of her when she made the jump and got back in the game. I'm feeling really good that I'm doing the same. There are still so many hurdles, but they are getting fewer and fewer and I just need to start checking some off my list - professor evaluations, helping Kevin at the clinic, some more observations - oh yeah and making As in my last few classes. Oh, yeah, and the DAT. It's sure going to fly by.
