Four Teeth Less Wise

Yesterday, I went to my long awaited appointment to Omaha. It was an early appointment to cut out all of my wisdom teeth. My mouth is too small to let them grow in fully (Yeah, I know ironic right?).

Constantly I was asked if I was nervous. My answer? Not really, I'm too tired to be nervous. Infact, I was pretty calm the entire time. Except when the oral surgeon was beating on my veins, attempting to find the perfect vein for the IV; he even said that they might try the veins in my feet (fortunately, a vein in my hand worked just fine). I wasn't put asleep, but I didn't feel any of the pain. Quite the surreal experience actually.

Overall, it was not too awful of an experience. However, now that I am supposed to eat soft food only and I am supposed to take it easy, all these food commercials are driving me up a wall. That's okay. I've always been inventive with my food (ex. PB&J without the bread, carnation milkshakes, etc).

So here I am, four teeh less wise, not feeling too much pain (thank you generic Vicodin), and preparing for my trip to Germany in less than a week.

Yup. Just another day on the ant hill.

Studying is STUDent dYING

You know finals week is coming when...

• People in the dorm start doing crazy/hilarious things
• The free box turns into a mountain of ugly clothes.
• Monster cans start piling in my room.
• Suite mates go crazy in the head (MORE than usual...)
• The desire to procrastinate sky rockets
• Eyes get redder by the day (Oh sleep, where did you go?!)
• Junk food finds its way in my room.
• My brain is full of thoughts of going home rather than studying.
• Stress is thick in the air.
• Coffee is practically my life's blood and Cafe Diem trips become more frequent.

Well... you get the idea. I have finals to take on Tuesday and Wednesday this week. I have to take my Greek final in the library sometime before Wednesday and work on my counseling final before Wednesday also. Then I can spend Thursday packing and cleaning. 5 days until I go home, and 16 days until I leave for Germany!
