Remember how I was bummed about not being chosen as a student ambassador?

Well, it turns out that I was selected to be USC Class of 2016 student representative for the American Student Dental Association (ASDA)!

My roommate is turning 22 this weekend so we went out to celebrate at Salvage Bar and Lounge in Downtown Los Angeles. Barely 22 years of age, she's one of the youngest in our dental school class.

10:25pm: arrive back at my apartment and silently facepalm when I realize how much work I still have to do. My learning need for our new PBL case is due tomorrow and I have barely started.

Without further ado, here is 29-Hours in the Life of a First Year Dental Student

Sometimes, dental school seems like some sort of glorified art school. It resembles elementary school arts and crafts - sketching, gluing, carving, trimming, melting wax, and playing with plaster.

You know you're officially a dentist when you get your first pair of loupes! 

They say that dental school is a step up in rigor compared to undergrad. At this moment, I'm not sure if that statement is true or not. However, I will admit that dental school is a step up in the number of hours I spend in school each day. 

We walked across Exposition Blvd, southbound towards the Coliseum. I had a few former Bruins in tow and I was eagerly awaiting the opportunity to introduce them to 'SC football.
