21. Cary St. Gym and Field

Also, I passed my pedo competency today! Praise God. It was supposed to be easy since we've done a million of these tooth preparations this year and last year, but I kind of felt nervous during the test. Thankful.

19. Last bit of holiday cheer

Some of the only lights still up in late January.

18. MLK Day

The Age of Miracles. A miracle that I finished this subpar book.

17. Coast

One of the best parts about being from a coastal area is the accessibility to bodies of water, all year round. The beach during the winter is so underrated.

16. Eatin' good in the neighborhood

Ate every single bite of this plate. :)

15. Snowy morning

The day our school gets a 2 hour delay/10:00am school opening due to the weather is the ONE day that my classes start at 11:00am. -__-

But, the snow was pretty while it lasted!

In defense of working with kids (because yesterday I thought that I would not want to work in pedo): I was on orthodontics rotation this afternoon, and a bunch of my classmates and I were crowded around a computer screen as one of the residents was explaining something to us. All of a sudden, this little kid weaves through, pops up in the middle of our huddle, and tries to look at the screen with us. It was so cute and random.

14. Baby teeth

Me: Is it supposed to snow tomorrow?

Classmate: Have you been living under a rock?

Despite hearing rumors about possible snow tonight/tomorrow, weather.com told me it would be a sunny 40 degrees F tomorrow so I subconsciously haven't believed it. But, I've been proven wrong: it is steadily sleeting right now. There's no hope in it getting me out of school tomorrow (class unusually starts at 11am this Friday for me), so I'd rather it not fall on us, but oh well. 

Today, we had pedodontics lab, the first of two sessions. I'm pretty sure I do not want to be a pediatric dentist at this point, even though I love kids. It's the dealing with crazy parents, and kids' squirminess while I hold sharp/dangerous objects, that turn me off.
