Charting

Today we learned how to chart existing work on our form. As Prof. Costley was going over the things that could possibly be existing and how to chart it, I was a little worried. It was a lot of stuff and I was starting to get stressed about it. I was worried that I wouldn't remember how to do any of it. Once we started looking in our partner's mouth it was much simpler. It is a lot of information but when it comes down to it I think I can handle it. That's pretty much all we did today so we had about an hour to practice other skills or go over PE's. Our instrument classsification one was due today so I did that one. Then I wanted to review my Eaglesoft tx plan PE so I would be comfortable to pass it off next Monday. After practicing for a few minutes I said 'What the heck! Let's just pass it off!' Sometimes I just have to have the confidence to do it myself or I will think about it too much and worry myself. So I also passed that one off! The 2 PE's that are due Monday I already did so I can have a free day or try and do another one. Prof. Costley has also been assigning us our partners for the day and I like it! It gives me a chance to work in somebody else's mouth and also to get to know that person better too. I feel like I'm learning the skills pretty well. Monday and Wednesday are practice days so hopefully I can improve my skills.
