first day in clinic

Today was our first day in the dental hygiene clinics. To start off the day we got our fancy new scrubs for clinic (see picture). They are a lot different than the ones I am used to! To start off, we look like chefs, plus they are elastic at the bottom! Everyone wears bright neon Crocs- good thing Karin & I brought some, we look like regular Norwegian dental students! 

After we finished getting suited up in our clinic uniforms, we had a quick tour around the school & studied for a bit. We attended a case discussion during lunch (which was in Norwegian) but luckily had Lise near by to translate. After lunch we observed in the dental hygiene clinics for the afternoon. The building is old, but the clinics are very nice. We watched a dental hygiene student, Belinda, work today. Patricia, a hygiene faculty, helped us translate a sheet for new patients and show us the ropes of their system. We couldn't stop admiring a beautiful waterfall out the window in the clinics & Karin is determined to find the bottom of it. She promised me there would be a pot of gold and trolls at the bottom if I would go with her to find it so she better not be lieing!!!

After clinic, we caught a ride into town with Lise on her way to work and walked around for a bit. We both bought some new rainboots at a big sale. We were bargain shoppers today! I got 2 scarfs for cheap and Karin bought a scarf and new umbrella- all on sale. Then we went out for dinner at Dolly Dimples (pizza place). We got the kid's meal which was AWESOME- pizza, pop, and endless ICE CREAM buffet! We gorged ourselves with chocolate ice cream. While we were eating, a delivery truck was stopped and unloading, met a nice gent through the window who kept sticking his tongue out at me while Karin wasn't looking. Never knew his name, but he will be forever called Snickers cause that is what his sweatshirt said. How I miss you, Snickers! Just kidding!

Had a nice walk back to our place with our leftover pizza and treasures from shopping. Clinic tomorrow morning and then off to find the bottom of the waterfall!
