Catching Up

Wow.....it's been a month since I've posted......that just shows how busy I've been since school let out! I guesswe've got some catching up to do. Let's go back to when school first let out. Last day was great, but extremely sad. Before the last bell rang in my middle school life we all cried and hugged each other. Alot of us are going to be seperated next year because we're going to different schools. The day ended up being fatastic anyways because later on that day my friends ad I went to KD. The following week my grandma from Texas came. She stayed with us until that Thursday. It was really fun having her over, and there were alot of funny moments we all had! After she left on Thursday, I had marching band practice. I love those people there so much!!! I'm looking forward to a great year with them all. That Friday, my family and I headed up to West Virginia. The weather was beautiful. The hummingbirds were flying around that patio and there were plants full of vegetables and flowers everywhere. One day in West Virginia, my grandpa took my brother, dad, and I down to the jail. Don't think wrongly of that, it was just to show us around, I promise! Anyways, he showed us how things work around the jail and he locked me in a cell. Alone. It was terrible fr the short 5 minutes I was in there! I don't understand how smeone could do that for years. I also got strapped in a restraint chair....next to another inmate. That was unbelievably awkward. The whole thing ended up being pretty fun and interesting though! After we got back from West Virginia,e all just took a little time to chill. On Tuesday I went downtown with Craig and went to band practice. It was a great day! Lots of fun, heat wasn't too bad, got to see my band peeples. Thursday was the worst. That was the day I had to get my wisdom teeth taken out. It was pretty horrible. The surgery itself was easy with all the laughing gas and meds I was on, but after that, I think I had just about the worst week of my life. I was constantly falling asleep, I was always on medicine. I couldn'teat ANYTHING, or even open my mouth. My face was swollen as big as a basket ball. In the middle of the night, I would wake up with an incredible firey pain in my mouth. It just.....sucked. After recovering for about a week, Saturday, we left for where I am now! At the moment I'm at the Outer Banks of North Carolina (OBX)!!!! We've been chillaxin at the beach, hanging out at the dunes, shopping, mini golfing, we even went on a dolphin tour a couple days ago! I'll talk about what I've been doing this week in another post, but hopefully this helped us catch up a little bit :)

That Horrifying Moment

I'm sitting on a big chair in a little room with my mom, the surgeon, and his assistant. I really hope the whole the wisdom teeth thing is just some huge mistake. I just got done with my xray. I hate the big machine that spins around my head. Why did they need another xray if I just gave them a picture of my last one? Grrr. Oh my. This is horrible. Now I'm struck with fear and dread. From the surgeon, I hear the words "She's gonna have to have surgery soon. She's gonna sleep and we're gonna take her top and bottom ones out." Why me? Why do my teeth have to be so naughty and terrible? He just said that I'm gonna need another xray too. Kill me.

Creepy

Well I'm finally here, and the place I'm at is called "Virginia Facial and Oral Surgery". It's in this big medical park thing with a bunch of other dental places and different types of surgeons. It's kinda creepy and I don't like it, but thats just me. I find it kinda awkward that in the middle of all the medical poop there sits a Bonefish Grill. Awkwurrrrd. For some reason I'm really nervous, and I don't know why. It probably has something to do with the fact that the word "surgery" is in the name of the place I'm at. I'm scared the dude is gonna tell me that I need wisdom teeth surgery soon. I've never had surgery! AHHHHHH! Why do medical procedures have to be so dang creepy?

Braces. OW.

I'm not too worried about what they look like now. They're just SORE. I HATE BRACES :,,,,,,( The dentist messed something up with them too, so theres a wire poking my cheek and two wires sticking up out of my braces poking my lip. GRRRR. The good thing is, I'm going to get that fixed soon. At least they don't look too bad :) I got neon green!

UH OH.

Tomorrow. Braces. Tonight, I shall chew 10 pounds of sugary gum, eat 15 bags of popcorn, and fit in 751 laffy taffys. First thing in the morning tomorrow I'm gonna take a motrin to stop the pain I'll have later that day from the newcoming braces. The only thing I'm looking forward to with the braces, is the color. First I'm getting neon green. Hopefully you guys won't make such a fuss over it since I'll see the majority of you Friday.... :). It's JUST braces, no big deal. Please don't treat me any differently!

And That's the End.

1 hour and 38 minutes. I tried to last 2 hours, but the laptop shut itself off. I suffered. For an hour and 38 minutes. PAIN. I've never enjoyed silence so much in my life. Being able to ONLY hear the SILENT popping in my Mountain Dew was amazing. Even though I failed at reaching 2 hours, I celebrated when the laptop died. I sat in my chair with my popping soda and wrote a letter to someone in SILENCE. Nyan Cat, I will never watch you EVER again. My record will always be 1 hour and 38 minutes.
