Update

So, I got my wisdom teeth out last week (Thursday, October 28th). All four wisdom teeth. At the same time. And, of course - because it's me - there were complications. The bottom left wisdom tooth was problematic. I'm not quite clear on the details (my mother doesn't want me to worry, she says), but they had to dig deep, to the bone. Fun! I'm mostly better now, but I'm still very sore. I actually called the dentist to check out these, umm, lumps? on the inside of my cheeks, kind of adjoining my lower jaw. Turns out, that's what's sore, not my gums themselves. No idea what's up with that. Dentist said it's "normal scar tissue" and not to be worried unless it still hurts next week. He said that I should be 100% healed by next week and if not, to go see him. For now, though, I need to keep brushing after every meal and the do a warm salt water rinse. This means, I'm not eating at school unless I bring a thermos of warm salt water.

I also started working. WOO! PAYCHECKS! I'm really excited about getting an income again and being able to pay my own bills. And have a little left over to save for a trip to New York after my birthday, for a friend's 23rd. This will be my first time in the Big Apple and I'm looking forward to having a nice steak dinner. I think that if I'm in NYC, I need to have a nice steak dinner. We're also trying to see a Broadway show: the birthday girl has her heart set on a specific one that seems to have cheap seats. Another friend wants to go to a bar owed by one of her favourite musicians, so we're going to try to hit that up too. All that along with 2 nights at a 3.5 star hotel.... let's just say I'm thrilled to be getting paid again!

Hmm, what else? I'm glad I took an "easy" semester at school. I only have one final. My art History class isn't as easy as I thought it would be, but since I took it as a "pass/fail" (meaning I don't get a grade, just a remark that I passed or failed and it doesn't affect my GPA), I'm not worried about getting an A. I just need to pass the next exam and the two bullshit assignments and I'm in the clear. Two of my other two classes are complete bullshit classes, I'm not worried. My last class is the last real class I need for my B. Ed. It's called "Policy Issues in Quebec Education" aKa "I don't give a crap about how unfair Quebec treats teachers and students." Seriously, Quebec education treats Anglophones as second class citizens, and teachers as slaves, but whatever. It is what it is, right?

Other than all that, life is pretty good. Our Grad Ball was announced and I am really excited about that.

That's all.

For now.
