so what's the missing letter?? loool .. I really don't know how to start this .. or what do I have to say .. it's a series of events that can't be mentioned in one post .. all I see and hear in my dreams is cccccccccccccccc............. :(( .. really I can't get it out of my mind and the poor letter C got all the blame lol .. I wish there was a way to delete it from the alphabetical order .. my big question is who invented this exam that included every single thing we took for 3 years for 6 subjects .. I mean we're human beings and the capacity that our brains can withstand is limited .. of course i'm excluding people who are geniuses .. let's talk about normal people with a normal IQ ok?? .. how do you think our performance on a grand exam such as this one will be .. add to it everything else such as stress , anxiety , lack of sleep, backache, stomachache , irritable bowl diseases lol .. and what else? mm..... too much eating , weight gaining , not shaving --> this is for both males and females =p .. well Im sure anyone in 6th year will be recognized by how awful and tired they look .. just look at their faces and you'll just know that those are 6th year students .. this is the pre exam syndrome .. the week preceding the exam this is everyone's condition .. its a common syndrome that everyone goes through at a time of your student life .. if you have gone through it already .. im sure you're dancing from joy and don't want to recall those days .. while the ones who still didn't reach there .. all i can say is god be with you guys .. really wish you the best of luck lol .. the ones who are there are living in their own world now and they are not aware of anything around them ... the rest is coming on my next post ..

the wall is down !!

It was one fine morning .. I woke up and went to college to take my lectures .. It was boring as usual .. so I stepped out for a break .. suddenly there was a guy standing right there few meters away from me .. was I supposed to panic lool .. not really because this is how things has turned out to be now after the flood .. the girls section has been damaged and there's an internal error with the elecrtiricity and here we are .. education can never stop .. right ?? .. we were forced to be taking our lectures in their buildings .. somehow this rain made us civilized and become a modern college lool .. and you can say it's a dream come true to some people =P .. at first some people I won't mention their names got really pissed from this idea and were opposing it .. I guess they couldn't sleep at night from nightmares of boys and girls exposed to each other looool .. but eventually they were out of choices .. it started with what they call strict rules such as girls going there as a group not wandring around individually .. and of course girls were asked to walk around silently without laughing or speaking in a loud voice to not grab attention to them .. really I don't know how to comment on that .. it reminded me of the days when we were in elementary schools .. what's missing is that we should walk around forming a line ( 6aboor al madrasa ) lool .. and of course guys had some rules too .. they were asked to stay inside their classes at specific times when girls pass by to their classes .. how lame !! .. they thought they had control over the situation .. but hey .. i'm talking logic .. how can they control over 300 students including guys and girls ?? it's impossible .. rain has made the impossible possible .. it's really weird how things has really changed .. after the great wall of china that was built last year between 6th year males and females .. It all went down the drain =p .. and I can say I'm glad this happened because eventually they will meet and work together so why make a big fuss about it ?? right ?? .. Maybe people may misuse the situation but also there are some advantages out of it .. you can know who are your classmates instead of meeting them in the first time during the internship .. and I'm sure marriage rate will increas tremendously looool .. so always look at the bright side !!

is it raining ?? again !!

hello guys . It's been a very long time since i wrote anything because I was really out of ideas .. but heey there's a lot to gossip about right now lol . I guess all of you who are still in the univeristy have witnessed the situation now after jeddah's flood .. and what happened this tuesday was really hilarious and it honestly added some action to the atmosphere =p ..
the sky has started to become cloudy since 11 am , but we can't skip any classes or sessions because education is the main purpose and concern in our lives , so what if we risked our lives for the sake of learning ?? right ?? :S lol , people have noticed it but still everything was going smoothly as any other day .. around 2 pm , it was broadcasted in the news that a heavy rain was expected anytime this day .. and suddenly it all happened .. people started yelling and panicking .. someone was actually walking around yelling ( please within half an hour the university must be evacuated !! it's an order from upper hand people that all the sessions must be cancelled ) everyone wanted to leave to their homes .. chaos was everywhere .. cell phones ringing like crazy .. black berry's are goin wild with broadcasts announcing that everyone must be at their homes .. personally everyone was calling asking me where I am because they were worried about me .. wich added more to my anxiety lol .. I admit I was from the people who panicked =p .. I have seen weird statuses in the bbms that said ( I don't wanna die !! ) lool .. I went downstairs to get to the car and a huge number of people standing there just waiting for their cars to arrives .. and of course the guys just grabbed their keys and left , as simple as that :s .. the tension has increased and the negative aura was everywhere .. thank god I got out of that place .. and eventually after everyone left to their homes nothing happened loool the rain was at night .. well it was an adventure worth writing about because it was really funny when I think about it .. I really hated that fact that they didn't think ahead and made us leave early when they first discovered the cloudy weather .. but education is more important than our lives !! after all it was an exaggerated over-reaction that wasn't necessary .. i guess people here in jeddah had become over sensitive of this matter .. some may stay at their homes afraid to drown if they saw a rain drop or heard from someone that it's raining somewhere else in jeddah .. what happened was really tragic and it occured all of the sudden and was totally unexpected so i guess we do have the right to get irritated from any rainy day .. stay tuned for my next post about what happened after the rain ;)

funnyyyyy and soooo true :P

what happened in dubai this year ???

2:07 AM Posted In Edit This 1 Comment »
this is a question that popped up in my head yesterday .. when everyone came back from dubai .. i was wondering why this year ?? .. dubai has been organizing conferences for so many years annually .. so there is an international conference every year .. but this year a lof people went there .. from each year .. 4th , 5th ,6th year and interns .. i don't know what's wrong with 6th year -- they are supposed to be working .. but hey who am I to judge lol .. maybe they are ahead of everyone else and have alot of time to waste .. i guess what happened is that everyone heard of this conference and planned it as taking a trip together ..not for the conference itself because from what i heard it wasnt that special .. and i guess they didn't really attend all the lectures .. or some didn't attend at all .. all they did is show their face then took their certeficate on the last day --> typical =P and suddenly alot of guys went there too .. so what did really happen there???

I'm a SUPERVISOR.. should I be LATE?!

11:23 PM Posted In Edit This 3 Comments »
At any given day.. anyone of us will wake up early in the morning.. get dressed.. scrubs of course.. come to school.. attend the lecture.. & set off to the clinic.. everything is set.. Infection control.. Instruments.. Lab Work.. Patient.. You!!
But still something/Someone is missing?!!.. So you wait & wait & wait!
it's almost half way through the sessions' working hours.. still not there!
So you eventually give up & you either start working on your own or ask an unassigned supervisor to check your work.. then the real problem begins!
He/She either doesn't like your work & wants some adjustments or simply tells you to go to your original assigned one who doesn't exist!
And once your supervisor appears out of  no where.. you hear the bells that cry out: "DISMISS YOUR PATIENTS!!"

Seriously.. they try to teach us the concept of not being late.. to attend the lectures on time.. 8:00 am or 1:00 pm sharp.. but they themselves lack this discipline!! You don't demand something.. you yourself DON'T do!
The time we waste on waiting in lines or wondering around searching for the "missing without a trace person" is so much & gets to a point that's very frustrating!
Sometimes a procedure that might have took only half an hour.. takes literary two hours! for God's sake! Our patients are people too.. they have families.. homes.. work.. like anyone of us!.. not because they can't afford to pay for private dental care means that ANYONE should make their dental experience more difficult!!

They teach us so many things that we don't see in them.. if these people are supposed to be our role models & we see them do this.. do you think we'll be any different in the future??..

Being a SUPERVISOR.. big or small.. does NOT give you the right to be late.. when it's time it's time! everything stops.. your job in these three hours is to be by my side.. teaching me.. guiding me.. giving me hints & tips.. NOT.. talking on the phone.. saying hi to long lost friends.. meeting with representatives.. giving consultations to other students.. interns.. board students!!! In these three hours.. you are my mentor.. nothing else!

Or is there another definition for the word.. SUPERVISOR ???

not satisfied .. what should i do??

5:13 PM Posted In Edit This 2 Comments »
I was faced with a situation that i was confused wether i should be happy i'm finally done or i should reconsider repeating my work all over again .. a complete denture patient !!
This is my worst nightmare .. the worst type of them are the ones who has a bag full of dentures and always need new ones coz they are not comfortable with theirs ..
After wasting all of these sessions with the steps for constructing a complete denture , at the day of insertion the patient showed disapproval of the denture .. she started pointing out to me that it's painful and she's not comfortable with it .. i started removing the points of intereferences and pressure .. finally she said it's okay but i can see the look of discomfort in her face .. and i'm pretty sure she did say that because she was afraid of my supervisor lol .. of course i got my requirement but still i don't feel good about it .. am i being extra sensitive about it?? or should i be happy i finished a complete denture case? ...
i know it's a learning hospital and the patients do sign a conscent about being treated by students .. i do beleive we should try to give them the best treatment .. like the example of this patient .. alot of students wouldn't give a damn about her .. as long she got her reaquirment paper signed ..
And what's really sad is that when i called my complete patient from last year .. she told me she threw my denture away :S:S she didnt even bother to use it :(( ..
something is definately wrong with removable lool .. or maybe i'm just unlucky with this subject =P

grading system

12:57 AM Posted In Edit This 0 Comments »
one of the things that i really hate in our university is our grading system .. it's a very irrational system .. and i'm sure i'm not the only one complaining from it .. coz people who don't have the ability to memorize very well won't have a chance to make good grades .

we had this discussion last week .. some poeple do have photographic memory .. and they tend to memorize the page and the line where the answer exists .. but others have limited capacity of memorizing .. and those are the poeple who suffer .. most of your grade depend on the final written exam ,, it's ( THE exam) if you messed up then you won't get a good gpa eventually ..
some people faced this problem and what's sad about it is that they are extremely good in their clinical work .. they have the skills .. and they do understand what they're doing .. but they may get irritated and they can't function under stress .. or too much informations gets mixed up in their head ..

the grades must be distributed equally between clinical and written exam .. so it would be fair for all students .. and it should be distributed through the whole year ... like continuos assessment ..
and about 6th year that consitutes 60% of the grade is a very stupid idea .. coz it makes 6th year students suffer trying not to mess up this year coz their whole future depend on it .. if the student is an A+ student through all the years and in this final year she messed up .. then her effort and hard work through all these years is just wasted .. some poeple concentrate more on this year while they were playing before and raise their grades up dramatically ..

serious changes needs to be done to this system coz it's soo unfair to alot of students who spend alot of effort and time in their clinical work .. trying to finish their requirements through the whole year .. but didn't give much attention to the theoritical part .. if the requirements were not finished and you did well in the final exam you still have the chance to get an A

so i guess my advice is to concentrate more on studying the materials you're taking .. instead of the clinical work which constitute the least percentage of the final grade

playing the role of two characters

11:33 PM Posted In Edit This 1 Comment »
This is something i noticed in myself .. i don't know if you all have it or not .. but i have two characters .. the prffesional role and the usual everyday role ..

In university i tend to put on a mask and play the proffesional role .. someone once told me that this is how i should pretend to be just to gain respect from the doctors or from the patients .. and even with my collegues .. the proffesional face is the serious face that shows responsibility and sense of authority .. with no sense of humor or anything .. someone i know once told me ( if i saw a good looking dentist i don't trust him ) lol i think it's funny actually coz being good looking has nothing to do with your work quality .. but patients have different prespectives in judging a good dentist .. they think a good dentist is the one who makes a quick and painless procedures .. not caring to know what's inside .. coz they come to the office and they're frightened already so when this person ease their pain and fear they worship him .. being gentle and nice is an important trait and you should also show that you have enough knowledge and experience .. always makes them hear what they wanna hear ..if she said she feels pain then she does .. give her more anaesthesia and don't just shut her and tell it's in your head you're anaesthetized .. even if you think you gave her enough pretend that you give her but don't inject lol .. i had this kind of patients and i've learnt how to deal with them ..

the other role is the real me ..well what can i say about myself .. a simple person and always trying to cheer up the people around me .. kinda living in my own world and i like making fun of people and talking to everyone .. i don't really care wether it's a guy or a girl but i have no boundaries .. you can say open - minded ... i dunno but i noticed myself being totally different person in the university .. cautious all the time .. and caring about my public image and what people say or think about me .. so i wear a stupid mask that i created for myself to keep this image .. i really hate it but i should live by the rules even if i think it's hypocrisy .. coz you can't change people's mentality .. if they're not open minded then they'll stay this way and nothing can change their opinion .. they will judge you and spread rumors about you and i really don't need this right now ..
