Finally Got the Ball Rolling

Alright, I have finally started my senior project. Yesterday, November 21st, I went to shadow my mentor at the dentist office. I was there for about an hour and a half, but I got there at the end of one appointment and then I left during the very beginning of the second appointment. There wasn't much to the appointments, but in between Gail was able to show me how things run at the office.
I learned about the different rooms and their light system to show where people are needed and when their appointments arrive. She also showed me how she sets up all of her tools. Then she showed me where they store all their items in the cabinets. I also got to see the basement/lounge/eating area. Then I got to get their laundry out of the dryer and put it up for them to use the next day.
All in all I think it was a pretty productive first day. At least I got the ball rolling and I've started. I hope that I'll be able to make another appointment to go in next week.
