""i'm just trying to get a C in each class to pass so I can take over my dad's private practice"- tour guide... that was the sentiment running through everything that was presented to us. you pay loads of money to feel like you're on a dentistry conveyer belt, just try to pass and just get through school so you can go right into filling cavities non-stop for the rest of your life."
