Clinic January 21,2009

My goal this day was to complete an exam and finish my patient in one clinic session. I was really happy because I met my goal. I feel that declaring my patient as an exam helped me to become faster at scaling. I saw my brother-in-law on this clinic day. He was a Class 1B. The day went really smooth. I didn't need any retakes and at scale check I only had to rescale two areas. I felt like this was a good experience. I don't know if I passed the exam yet, but feel pretty optimistic about it. I feel like I am always anxious the night before and the day of clinic. I don't know how to relax before clinic and hope that the anxious feelings will slowly get better. It seems like I am normal because the other girls in my pod say that they feel the same. Most of my clinic days have been smooth so I don't know why I feel so stressed about clinic. Hooray the third week in the semester is over. Only 12 weeks to go. I am enjoying the program, but it is nice to have the weeks fly by.
