After weeks of stressing over unfinished assessments, arranging last minute group meetings and touch ups, Friday was the final day of Uni. In the end, I didn’t end up going to the last day of classes (which I was meant to do a presentation), instead I had to attend the Dental Seminar at Kings Park.

Although I’m sick of sitting in on lectures and tutorials, learning about things I can’t apply in my life, I really enjoy listening in on Dental related presentations. When they brainwash you at OHCWA, they brainwash you thoroughly =P

The Dental Seminar reinforced a lot of what I had learnt (but forgotten) at OHCWA, and refreshed my knowledge about dental products/issues/conditions. I found it really beneficial to hear from fellow hygienists, about their opinions on certain procedures and so on. I was so pumped up that I came home and tried to subtly nag my family =P

DHAA organised a fantastic event, the turn out was really good, the presenters were interesting, the whole event ran smoothly…. except for the sound of planes blasting through the sky in preparation for the Perth Red Bull Air Race. Good thing the planes only zoomed around near the end of the seminar, it would have definitely been annoying if that was all we heard all day.

It actually felt totally great to speak with colleagues and talk teeth the whole day, and this is even when I had to wake up at 6:30am (I snoozed til 6:45)!! I’m looking forward to the 33rd Australian Dental Congress & Exhibition event in Perth next year, it’ll definitely be interesting to hear the other presenters… and there’s also no harm in getting a collection of samples either =D
