they say I've done pretty good in regards to my wisdom teeth coming out.
it's been a week and a day and the swelling has significantly subsided... the first days were the worst... I had to tie bags of ice to the sides of my cheeks via two long pairs of socks in order to stop the swelling. vikatin was the drug I was on all that weekend haha and I still feel a little drugged. but I'm thankful to God that my gums are still hangin in there (and that I haven't lost that much wisdom in the process)
Finals. Finally are over for this first semester of what is supposed to be the hardest year in highschool. a testimony to that hardship would be the D I received as my overall score in Pre-Calc. I'm so ashamed of myself for this. it'll go on my "permanent record" and as a result, now eliminated lingering promises of a better education, contrasted to what I have now. There is no one to blame but myself (but secretly I still hold that Miss Fendley deserves some). What should be learned from this is exactly what is asked: learning. Changing the past can't be done, but I can change the future because of it, and I hope that this failure is bad enough to jolt me to become a more assertive student.
yesterday, I went shopping with my mom to pick up long underwear for Snow Fever this year... the high is supposed to be -1! after getting all my warm garb, we got in line... and waited for at least twenty minutes... there were three stations at Khol's... and all three were dominated with the worst casheer women I've experienced thus far in my life. On the one side, there was the Indian lady who was discussing life with her fellow natives who were checking out. And in my line was an obese white lady who kept on asking questions to the person who was checking out... and then there was something wrong with the lady's gold card and the casheer was on the phone getting help... the other white lady casheer had a foreign accent... I didn't really pay any attention to her - the important thing is that we went nowhere fast! Finally, we switched lines and the Indian lady checked out our stuff, and we hurried out the door, but not before the alarm went off on the sensors hahahahaha. So we go back and the Indian lady runs our stuff through again and there is no problem............ so we leave and the sensors go off again but we keep going...
I still have to finish packing, the bus leaves for Snow Fever at two and check in is at one fifteen. Chow.
