Instrument grasp and intra oral

Monday we learned how to hold an instrument and where to fulcrum and also the intra oral exam. It will take some practice before I feel really comfortable holding the instrument and knowing where to place my fulcrum finger. The intra oral exam wasn't too hard. I think the hard part will be remembering and identifying everything inside the mouth. I was really hoping to pass off my vitals PE today but the HHX was due today so everybody needed to do that and it took forever. So of course, I wasn't able to pass anything off. That is partly due to the fact that we don't have an instructor in our pod! I really hope in the future they will arrange for an instructor to be in every pod. I, along with the other girls in my pod, feel that we get left out. I talked to my peer pal about it and she said she was in the same pod and she totally understands what I'm going through. She said we are the 'forgotten pod'. Hopefully it will get better. Wednesday I will need to pass off my vitals and mirror PE's since they are both due.
