Dental Internship Stories: Part 14
Not done after all.

More mistakes, more fixes. Over the weekend, we went to analyze our data, and we realized that we hadn't thoroughly received all the data we needed for our research. So today meant more calling. At least we had the numbers for the dental offices already in front of us, but it still wasn't easy. People didn't pick up, and some switched their answers. We even noticed that we had two of the same exact office (I think that was on me, though). So it was pretty rough, but especially rough for me. The people I had to call back were the hardest ones. You know, it can get irritating when your siblings are just chilling because they're done with their offices, and it's just you grinding away with no success. It's demoralizing. It saps all the energy out of you. But you must continue. My dad really wanted everything to be done today, but sadly that was not to be. I was so close, but I still have 2 left. Big bummer. Hopefully Wednesday will go better.
