I Have Reached the Age of Wisdom!

This is what I spent most of last weekend doing: nothing. I watched a ridiculous amount of useless t.v., read "Shopaholic Ties the Knot", and slept. It was fabulous! I may look like I'm not happy about it, but I'm literally unable to produce any kind of joy or happiness in a facial expression - my cheeks were so swollen. Aside from the pain and mouth full of stitches, the swollen cheeks, garbled words, and being unable to eat solid food, I had an incredibly relaxing weekend. This was also partly because of the "potent narcotics", as Dr. Lanigan liked to refer to them, that I was on.
Friday at 1:00 I went to have my wisdom teeth out. Not just one or two, no, all four of the had to go. My top left was exposed and poking into my cheek, the top right was fine but I figured that while I was there it might as well go, and the bottom two weren't coming in upwards but forwards and therefore cramming all of my nice "I-spent-$5000-and-two-years-in-braces" teeth together. I think they're slowly starting to re-align themselves, but after quite an ordeal!
The last thing I remember is talking about my degree, the IV going into my hand, and then waking up and having someone helping me put my shoes on. I honestly have no idea what they did in my mouth for an hour, but I'm missing 4 teeth, so I'm assuming everything went well.
It's three days later, the swelling has gone down, and I still prefer liquid food, but I'm definitely all caught up on my sleep! One of the best parts about sleeping, aside from clean sheets and my room being rearranged is that I've stopped dreaming about Rees. This may seem kind of trivial, but that means my inaccessible, subconscious thoughts have gotten over him to - and just in time. Our one year would be on Saturday.
But, as always, God works in wonderful ways. His name is Andrew, he's in my French class, and he looks very Aryan - blonde hair, light skin, German. Super nice guy, great at grammar, I may need to take advantage of. I'm better at conversational French because of my summer in Ottawa, so I've emailed him and asked for help with our quiz on Wednesday! There are also a new group of guys at Cornerstone which all seem outgoing and interesting. So, I'll wait, be myself, and see what He has in store for me!

Sounds like you're having a blast, and not just of arctic air. Things are fine over here in Brisbane and the way things are going, I'll be home before I can say 18 hour flight. (Time is going by really fast) So I'll be sure to see you soon (actually not til April, but thats kinda soon)! Have fun!
