Congratulations!aphistis said:I just finished my last final of the year 😀 😀 😀
OK, newly-minted D2's, let's hear it for surviving first year and finally having somebody beneath us on the totem pole! 😍😛

My last first-year Optometry final is tomorrow -- can I join your thread? 😀
Sure! Would you be an O2, then? Or something a little less aerobic? 😀

The alternative would be an OS2, which would make me old IBM operating system...3 more exams and we are done
June 21st cannot come a day sooner!!!

Bill,
Amen to what you've written! Although, I won't feel complete until I get Part I out of the way. THEN I can move on with my life.

Bill, I'm glad you are so enthusiastically embracing second year. Having one class lower than you on the totem pole is about ALL there is to celebrate! I'm ready to leave second year as a distant memory. But best of luck to you rising sophomores! At least you're one step closer. Congrats.
*Yikes* -- you guys have to take boards after your *first* year??? 😱 We don't take Part I until after 2nd year.ItsGavinC said:Bill,

Same here 3 more weeks and 5 more tests 🙁 But hey it will feel good to get one year over with 😀 although second year is supposed to be even harder 

Yeah, I'm trying to approach it with a positive attitude. With any luck, we'll make it a couple weeks before the misery sets in. 😉dientesfuertes said:Bill, I'm glad you are so enthusiastically embracing second year.

Another Final Down today. WE just finished dental materials here at PENN. Now I have 2 practicals this week one in the dental simulation clinic (DentSim) a #7 ML (the computer grades you, and the teacher buys what the computer says!!!) and wednesday we have a composite Practical #8 MFLI (you can rearrange it any way you like 😛 ). Then on Friday we have a Periodontics Final, and on thursday we have to see our first patient (which we have to find), and do a perio evaluation, scaling, and prophylaxis.
It has quite been a huge hurdle. The fun never stops.

Hey Desidentist.......why did you delete that previous thread where some people were asking how you became a MOD when you havent posted in such a long time?

Avin Gupta:
The thread was about e-learning, and I was curious about how other schools are implementing a web based interface w/ their curriculum. I was impressed to hear that Temple has developed online resources as a teaching tool, especially videos of restorative demonstrations. However, it is people like you who make it not even worthwhile to post anymore that whenever someone decides to post something useful, they just come in and try to tamper with it.
You could have easily emailed me or PMed me. However, I figured it was in your intention to cause a ruckus. Therefore, I thought it would be better not to even perpetuate the thread anymore.
Next year when you start Temple, see how much time you will have to post on here.

PS: From now on if you have any remark, feel free to email me or PM me, people don't need to read stuff which isn't relavant to the thread. Please do that as a courtesy.

Its not meant to be insulting to you, it would just make the dental forums better if the moderator was a constant presence here.
Good idea Bickle.....Gavin is also in dental school, yet he finds plenty of time to post on these forums.....so does Yah-E, Bill, xc1999, etc. This is MOD material!
So Desidentist......if you cant handle the heat, you gotz to stay out of the kitchen!
12 days left and 2 exams!!!
so lots of study time for the last two

I'm in agreement with this. I'm obviously not lobbying for a moderatorship for myself, but I've always believed strongly that moderators should be regulars on their boards. How Dr. Scherf retains his status absolutely boggles my mind. Dr. Burnett, paging Dr. Burnett... 😉Dr.BadVibes said:Good idea Bickle.....Gavin is also in dental school, yet he finds plenty of time to post on these forums.....so does Yah-E, Bill, xc1999, etc. This is MOD material!

I think we should vote on who the MOD should be. Have to keep it democratic after all.
I'm heartbroken. 🙁Bickle said:I nominate Gavin, or Yah-E. Sorry bill, you have lots of posts, but came on bored only last year.
aphistis said:I'm heartbroken. 🙁
I'll nominate you in 3 years. Gotta pay your dues.
I thought you put me on your ignore list???? 😕
Did I? I don't think so. I thought you had put me on yours 😛 Truce?
aphistis said:Did I? I don't think so. I thought you had put me on yours 😛 Truce?
I never put anyone on my ignore lists, that includes trolls. As for you, water under the bridge.
"We bury our sins, we wash them clean." Sorry, I just watched Mystic River. 😀
C'mon you guys -- a moderator's job is to be there when problems come up in the forum. Just because someone doesn't post all the time doesn't mean they're not available to fulfill their duties to take care of the forum. 😉
If I were the MOD, the first thing I would do is kill this thread 

sorry i am a little late Bill, but congrats to you.
i always looked up to you for advice, but now i REALLY will look up to you.
btw, when are we gonna go out and hangout????

I'm at the Norfolk naval base for a month studying at the school of music, and I'm typing this from the enlisted club. I'll be getting back to Indiana 9 July, which should be the end of your first week of class. We'll have to go out for a brew that weekend. Also, I'm going to see if I can sign up to be your pro for the IUSD pro/novice program between first- and second-years. Good luck with the start of school!
sounds good Bill. looking forward to seeing you again.
What are you studying at the school of music? (...just being nosy 😉 )aphistis said:As soon as I get back from my Army training. 😉
