Yank!

I had my wisdom teeth removed today. I was so nervous and anxious about it the past couple of weeks. I feel a whole lot better, worry wise and just in gereral. I had one that was in bad shape, and it probably made me feel bad. Theran went with me and drove me home. She took good care of me, I know she's a good friend, she saw some gross stuff come out of my mouth today. She went back with me as they sedated me which was really great, that part acutally scared me more than actually having my teeth out. I was worried I would have bad dreams or feel something. Apparently you're not really asleep, just really drugged up. I remember at one point sort of knowing what was going on, feeling them working the worst tooth. But there was no noise or pain. It went by so quick. Theran said when she came back when it was over, I said something like "I'm alive...I made it!" I have no memory of it!
The people who did the procedure were really great too, I am really in not much pain, and the oral surgeon called a few hours ago to make sure I was doing ok and see if I had any questions. I am going to write a nice letter to let them know what a good experience I've had. If anyone has to have any oral surgery done, I would highly recommend them.

I guess work and school are going ok, I think it will all be a lot better now that I've taken care of my teeth. I've signed up for a Geology and Psychology class for the summer. I'm so excited to get school over with. I think I'm going to try to apply for a different job within my company. It is closer the the field I want to eventually go in, in that it involves actually formatting and creating and editing docuements. I do a little of that now, but not to the extent I would at this position. I think I would get to use some different programs which would be great, I really want to get some experience.

Well not much more going on. I'm happy right now with my friends and family, I'm very glad I have people in my life that care about me. I care about them a great deal too.

In with the New, in with the Old.



'Bout time for an update eh?
Tremendous things have happened in the past month or so, all of which have so far turned into nothing. I guess the biggest thing was that for about a week I was convinced I would be moving to New Jersey. I thought I had an offer in the bag up there, and for close enough to what I wanted. But, in short, things fell through. At least I got to spend about 2 months there and finally see New York, for free.
Theran planned on going with me; we were going to be super roommates and go to the city every second we could. But alas, everything happens for a reason. I might have been pushed onto the track of an oncoming subway or murdered brutally in a dark alley. I'm over it now, I was more upset at why it fell through than that it did at all.
I should have a new computer in about a week (thank GOODNESS), a shiny new laptop. With the shiny new car and computer, I'm worried I'm putting myself into a hole. But they are things I need. Working on school is frustrating on this machine because it locks up every few minutes. It will be a wonder if I get this up without losing it eight times.
Being at Theran's is fun...we'll have more fun when we have extra money to go out with.
I'm only a few classes away from an Associate's. With some careful planning and hustling on the street corner, I could be done by the end of the year. But, the hustling will be hard, so it will probably be this time next year. Better late than not at all I suppose.
I'm excited looking at the Tech writing job prospects. It seems to be a well paying field, only bad part is a lot of it seems like contract work. That means no benefits or real job security. That's scary. But, I'll just have to see. I'm excited to get school over with and get into a CAREER.
Ok enough, nothing's really going on. Will be more prophetic later.

Shameful Confession of the Day:
I hate it when there are fast windshield wipers at stoplights.
