I felt saliva today and it wasn't my own

Today we were able to tell our Pod partners to open up wide. It was really exciting to be able to set up for a patient today, play with our mirrors and get a little more experience with them, and then clean up afterward. I learned today that I am really not comfortable with my mirror. I am making it more confusing than it really is, but I am as we continue to do this that it will become more natural for me. I am really going to think about what tooth I want to look at and how I can use my mirror to help me out. I need to stop making things an issue when it is something that is so simple. We also were able to do extra oral exams and I have to say that after the Women's clinic on Friday I felt pretty comfortable with what I have to do. It makes more sense to me now because we were told the structures that we were looking for. I was able to pass off my positioning PE and I did it with no problems which really made me feel good. I am now officially a head of schedule because I got my vitals PE done also. The only one that I am dreading is Health History and I have to get it done on Monday. So I need all the luck in the world to help me pass that one off. I really want to be able to do it and get all 4's. It may be an extreme goal but not impossible.
