Wow, sometimes life just stinks, you know? It just doesn't seem to flow your way, or stay under control as it should.

Last night the place where my lower left wisdom tooth was began to hurt. I took some drugs and went to bed. This morning my mom came in to say goodbye to me and as I turned to face her she exclaimed, "Oh, dear god!"

That's right, it looked as if I had a golf ball in my cheek. But this was no chipmunk dress-up game, nor was I beginning the disgusting habit of chewing, my lack-of-tooth was horribly infected.

Papa brought me to the doctor. They performed immediate surgery, and I watched the infected puss being yanked out of my mouth (that part was kind of cool, actually). Then, with the swelling even worse(!!) I went to class--hahaha!!! The overly-polite seminarians in my class said nothing, even when I had to write a sentence on the board as the class watched.

After class I ran into my cousin Emily (since the Perron family is taking over UST, this is a common occurrence). Em, with her puppy dog brown eyes and never-ceasing smile asked how I was. I pulled my scarf down a bit and she burst out laughing. A bit shocked, that she laughed through my story of this morning, she finally explained that she is doing a study in Psychology right now about symmetrical faces. She pointed at me and said, "And you, my dear, do not have a symmetrical face." Then she bought me Ben & Jerry's ice cream. She's a good cousin.

My dad insisted that I not cancel my plans tonight, but that I shouldn't drink (due to the antibiotics--smart, Papa). So, I guess we'll see the looks I get at the bar tonight, huh?

I really hope I don't get stretch marks from this. My left jaw line is ENORMOUS! Who knew it would swell more than when the teeth were removed?!? Catch ya later, if you don't see me on Funniest Home Videos first.
