Funny Pre-Dent Stories

I am sure many of us are checking our e-mail daily hoping to see some dental school name in our in-box. Sometimes- I am checking it several times a day. I don't think I am alone when I say that this is not healthy. All of the posts are starting to sound the same... This is why I propose that we share a little humor.

I have had my fair share of funny pre-dent stories. Stories from classes, funny stories from job shadowing, or any funny things that have happened because you were a dedicated pre-dent.

Please everyone, post your stories. Everyone else- comment on the stories. Let's have fun with this.

I have no stories, but I sympathize with u. I KNOW that we'll probably hear back in the next month, but I can't help but check every single hour. I hate EMAIL now -_-

A few months ago I was able to job shadow at a local pediatric Dental office. First of all, I have to say that small children on laughing gas is priceless. We had one little boy who told us every dirty little family secret. Like... his mom would have literally died if she had been in the room. Anyways, the kid quieted down, looked up with his big blue eyes, and stared at the Dentist. Looking directly at the dentist the kid said, "You know what?" The dentist replied, "What?" The kid looked even more intently and said, "When I grow up, I want to be a dentist." The dentist paused and gave me a proud look. The dentist look back and said, "Really?" The kid paused a little, smiled, and proudly exclaimed, "NOPE!" and burst into uncontrollable laughter. I was laughing so hard, I had to leave the room.

Apparently, even though it'll be a couple years before I fret about apps, it's been awhile since I've had a good laugh. Now I have to go and think about some ridiculously awesome story that I can post here. 😉

Two nights ago I had (another) nightmare about my DAT. I guess what happened in the dream was the testing center decided I scheduled too late or something so they had the test take itself for me. Yes the test took itself for me, I don't know what that even means so don't ask how it's just what my boyfriend said that I told him the second I woke up. Anyway my overall score was a 12.

It sort of actually ruined my morning, but by afternoon I was seeing the humor in the idea of an exam taking itself. hehe I love the absurdity of dreams.

Cheers

haha I love it! Dreams can just be crazy random.

A couple years ago I took a test in my General Chemistry class. My teacher was notorious for having some crazy questions, and this test pulled out a lot those type of questions. After I walked out of the test, my TA asked me how was it. I said, "That test was ridiculous." Right as I said that my Professor walked by and gave me this awful look. For the rest of the school year, my professor would just pop into my dreams. He would never pop in during a normal part. Rather, if I ever did something that wasn't good or maybe said something inappropriate in my dream, then Hubbard would be lurking behind me and give me "the look." Seriously... strangest thing ever, and I still can't explain it.

I was shadowing a dentist one day while he was having trouble gluing a metal thing for braces (I don't know the name) onto a molar. He was getting frustrated because it kept popping off so he asked me "this looks parallel to the molar, right?" I've been studying PAT for a while so I took a quick look and without thinking said, "I think its a little off, maybe 1/2 a degree." Needless to say, he got pissed off at me. I had to explain that I've been doing the angle on the PAT and everything seems off to me. 😀

I had a nightmare the night before the DAT. I went to the testing center, but I forgot my second ID! I had to call my wife for her to bring my passport. She wasn't so happy to be woken up and I was so nervous that I didn't do well on the test.

The next day, I pulled out of my driveway to the testing center and remembered my dream. I decided to do a quick check, and sure enough, I did forget my second ID!

Would you rather...

Sleep through a Final - DONE! (More than one too!)

Date an old Professor - Does a TA/GS count? 😎

Cut your pinky off with a dull spoon - It was my thumb and a Knife!

Have uncontrollable Gas - You must be female cause this is pretty funny to most any male of college age. 😀

The first one cost me $$$ for a post bac. The third one had me in a splint with my thumb up (hitch hiker) for a summer. Sucked. But my pt was a hot blonde and I was junior in HS.
