#futuredentist
This semester started as a blur. We had four months of summer vacation since the school year adjusted from June-November to August-December (First semester). That was a long period to enjoy all that summer has to offer but believe me, it was a rush and it came by like the wind. I spent my days slouching around, watching Korean dramas, movies, American TV series and made a little bit of art.
August came. We’re all super excited for the subjects ahead because finally, we can be able to buy cool stuff like typodonts, new handpieces, burs, and micromotor. We’ve been peeking around our seniors doing their works at the simulator. Dental materials, instruments, and supplies are too expensive. By the first and second week, we already had the list of things that we need to buy. I think we spent around 20,000 to 30,000 pesos on one trip to Quiapo Manila alone. Take note, as the months progressed we need to buy more.
Aside from major dental subjects like Restorative Dentistry I, Prosthodontics I, Oral Radiology and Oral Physiology and Occlusion, we’re left with medical subjects like Pharmacology and General Pathology. Those two subjects took most of my studying time for the reason that our professors in those subjects are medical doctors, so what can you expect? We were taught like MDs and that was very grueling for us.
My class schedules were 7 am to 7 pm on Mondays to Fridays. I arrived home at around 8 pm. My one hour journey home was stressful because of the traffic and heat in the Philippines, luckily, I easily fell asleep on my commute. Yehey for power naps! When I got home, I slept first for 2 hours or so and then studied the whole night/morning. I slept again at around 4:30 am and woke up at 5:30 am and repeated the whole cycle again and again for 5 months.
Prelim came. Midterm came. Finals came. I passed all my subjects! I can’t wait to share some more of my school stories, works, notes, and planner spread in this blog.
To dentistry & everything in between,

OINA for life!
This is how i study OINA for head and neck muscles. I know it’s quite tedious but i’m a visual learner, memorizing it using tables is really not my thing. I just make tables for another summary, for example, a table showing the muscles that depresses the larynx, muscles innervated by ansa cervicalis and so on.

Age of tooth eruption
Throwback to my practical exams in oral anatomy, where we need to identify the the tooth specimen and name it in palmer/fdi/universal system, identify its age of eruption, and the name of the specific part pointed! All of these in just a minute or less!
I posted a softcopy on my dropbox account and here’s a link if you like a copy:
