TWO Weeks into Uni......

Here's the gist of it :

1. Learned to give various types of injections in the oral cavity --------PRACTISED ON EACH OTHER!!!!!! Going to give inferior alveolar nerve blocks next week....yikes........needles are about 5 cm long and need to jab the patient as far in as 2 cm ......hmmm....hope my partner knows what he is doing .....hence the need to study anatomy...

2. Dissected my first head + neck .....ewwwwwww.......the fat oozing around is pretty disgusting. but thanks to the generous souls, we had a feel around :P Muscles, nerves, vessels, fossae, osteology, vertebrae.........

3.Mounted my first dental model ----a step into the world of occlusion

4.First pub crawl ---Lincoln College Pub crawl ( last friday)
Second pub crawl--- Dental Pub crawl(yesterday)
All I can say about them are as follows:
a) Lots And Lots of smashed people
b) Lots and Lots of smashed people doing silly things
c) Lots and Lots of smashed people dancing the night away
Otherwise, they were quite fun. You see the other side of people and wonder :)

5.FOund out that i'll have no time to fly home to malaysia next year till december.....sigh.......NO Holidays!! can you believe that?? We'll only get 1 week in april and one week in september , other than that, its full on! And to add salt to the wound, I'll start in mid January!!

6.Tried fudge .....mmmMMmmMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Yummy!

OK, till next time.....
