This New Language
Hi ya'll, this is just a little off the subject of D.H., but it's a good break!
So, I was just thinkin...not only do we have a whole new vocabulary of dental words to learn, but each week in Community Oral Health we learn a new list of terms that I will call "Kami-calls!" I seriously love that woman! Kami, if you're out there...I think you're amazing! (Yeah, I earned this permanent brown freckle on the end of my nose. Really, look, it's there!)
Well, yesterday in class I was a little sleepy, so I decided I would take note of all the words Kami used that I didn't know to help me stay awake! Funny...I haven't had a writer's cramp that bad since Van de Graffs Human Anatomy class! Surprisingly enough I found a little extra time last night to look up the words I had jotted down. Well, okay not all of them...only the ones I was creative enough to spell. I thought I might share just a few of them with you all in case you don't have a Webster's chip in your brain either! Ha Ha
Kami calls it: ubiquitous, I say ever present (adj.). How bout indemnity plan? That means security against loss or damage. Affluent just means wealthy, and a conundrum is a riddle. Vacilate means waver between courses or actions.
Hopefully I'm not the only one scrambling through my thesaurus and dictionary... Maybe my hair color is 1/2 my problem and you all are like, duh, we all knew those words already, but just humor me will ya?! Kami I think you're great, thanks for being so SPRIGHTLY in class! (do you know that one?) I think I'm going to find words to try to stump you... :) Thanks for making class fun !
HAPPY TRAILS

Jami,this is hilarious. Yesturday in class I to was thinking to myself that Kami uses alot of words I have never heard before. I would like to know what they mean and maybe incorporate them into my vocab. Maybe it's the small town I grew up in, but sometimes I feel like I am not as well spoken as others in our class, especially when blogging. Maybe I need to start taking notes of "kami-calls" so I to can expand my vocabulary.

shar...good, i'm glad i'm not the only one! I love it though, don't you?! I feel like we're pretty important to be in a class that uses such a vocabulary...although i definitely feel like i don't know a whole heck of a lot! Dude, have you heard of BLUFFDALE? Talk about small town! To make it even worse...2 of my brothers are wrangler wearin' bull riders! Ha!

Way to go girl!! I love can't wait to visit this site again and here more of Kami's calls! Thanks for looking them up for me! Now we can learn about oral health and have new 'vernacular'! Keep it up you little freckled girl!

Jami- This was great!!! I'm so happy that you looked up the word "ubiquitous" because the day Kami said it I looked at Lisa and was like "uh, what does that mean?" of course she had no idea and then I heard lil' Kels behind me asking the same question to someone else. Unfortunately I couldn't even remember the word to ask Kami what it meant. What a great idea on writing down the words to keep you awake, I should try that sometime, because as we all know I need all the help I can get in staying awake (no offense to you Kami, but it is pretty much impossible for me to stay awake after lunch when the lights are off, no matter what class I'm in.)
