I wonder if my hypertension will mysteriously go away after I graduate.

ADEX is coming up. I'm going to lubricate my handpiece with my tears.

My peds residency interview is in two days. I'm going to throw up.

If I don't meet my graduation requirements, I'm just going to drop out lol

“It is clear that the books owned the shop rather than the other way about. Everywhere they had run wild and taken possession of their habitat, breeding and multiplying, and clearly lacking any strong hand to keep them down.”

― Agatha Christie, The Clocks

I passed my boards. 🙌

I've already been warned to keep my head down and focus on getting my degree. Just smile and nod, I guess.

Small rant: One of the preceptors at my school was overheard saying transphobic remarks about a patient and asked the student doctor to follow the patient to the restroom. We all know about her behavior, but everyone is terrified of reporting her, knowing how admin will react.

I got my first interview!

Refreshing my inbox like a madwoman. Please... I just need one interview!

I submitted my PASS application, and I'm taking boards in two weeks! Help.

Simone de Beauvoir, from a letter to Sylvie Le Bon-de Beauvoir quoted in Simone de Beauvoir: A Biography

She wandered through dusty libraries and cobblestone streets, finding magic in forgotten pages and poetry in quiet moments. In a world that rushed, she chose the beauty of stillness, the whisper of old books, and the elegance of a simple life.

I got it out in 5 minutes so jokes on him!

Me: "The tooth is pretty mobile, I can probably wiggle it out with just forceps."

My preceptor: "Famous last words."

I finally met the patient that made me furious at the state of healthcare in America.

My patient had all his upper teeth pulled and replaced with implants because he didn’t want fillings. Now he’s asking if I can see him, since his implant provider doesn’t “do follow-ups.”

I appreciate a social media platform that doesn't fuel that weird part of my brain that's addicted to outrage posts.

Damn. Are all dental schools like this?

I've made up my mind! I want to do pediatric dentistry. It may not be right now, but it will be, someday.

All I want is a manor in the Scottish countryside, the ominous rumble of thunder in the distance, an Agatha Christie novel, a kettle on the stove, a vintage armchair, an emotional support owl, and a basket of freshly-baked pastries.

Every day not spent reading Edgar Allan Poe by the fire in a seaside cottage during a raging thunderstorm is a day wasted.

I'm a D3, so sometimes I still forget to see the forest through the trees. Thanks for the reminder. 😊

Ah, my C's get degrees mentally has finally come back to bite me. RIP, pediatric dentistry, you shall always be in my dreams.

All I want is a cottage in the Scottish Highlands, a raging snowstorm, and Agatha Christie novel, a crackling fire, a kettle on the stove, and a basket of emotional support pastries.
