Tired...

It was a long day today! I was at school at 9 this morning to assist a fellow D2 in the clinic, had a "working lunch" where I made an impression and poured up a cast over the lunch hour (my cousin is a D1 so I was also showing him how to do that since he will be doing it tomorrow for the first time in his dentures class), had oral pathology, and then from about 3 - 10 pm I was in the lab mounting up extracted teeth into plaster casts that the D1 students will be practicing drilling on! I wasn't supposed to be there that long today - I was originally planning on being done around 4 or 5! Well, I have a sort of "job" through the dental school where a group of us take care of these kinds of projects for the faculty when they need extracted teeth for a project. There were four of us assigned to this project - me, my friend Christi (D2), and two D1's who are new to the project. Christi and I did half of the project last week but the D1's were unavailable to be trained then. We had a hard time finding a time when both of our schedules worked together, so this week I was going to meet the D1's after class and train them on how to do it and then they would finish up their half. Christi and I left our supplies in the lab that the D1 and D2 students use, but we put the finished casts in a cupboard there. Well, today when I went to get out the box to add to it, it was gone!!! I looked all around for it and I couldn't find it. I asked all sorts of people - faculty, the cleaning crew, the lab monitor, etc. and nobody knew anything! So we basically lost all the work that we did before, and the school is out about $400 because the magnets we mount in the cast are $10 a piece! Christi was taking her boards today, so she didn't get there until closer to 4 - she couldn't find the casts we did either. So frustrating!!! We ended up doing 85 casts today and now the project is done - Christi is taking them home with her so they don't go missing too! We are still scratching our brains wondering who would take them and why??? Who wants plaster casts with nasty extracted teeth in them??? And who would throw away $400 dollars worth of equipment? Bizarre...
So that is my day, I've finally made it home now and I'm trying to veg a little before I have to go to bed. Aaron was a good sport tonight and he brought up pizza for dinner - thanks babe! :)
