ferrumaeternumThis week has been the epic dental torture of '08. On Wednesday I went to get a new retainer. Mysteriously, after I had my wisdom teeth taken out before they even breached the gums, my front bottom teeth crowed horribly. It doesn't even make sense how that happened. Plus, my old retainer still fits perfectly despite the drastic change. This new one is like an iron maiden for my lower jaw: tons of metal squeezing in on my teeth. Before I received it, my orthodontist took strips of sandpaper and essentially flossed my teeth with them in order to make them thinner so they could come together straight. As one can imagine, there was quite a bit of blood and pain involved in this process. Then I get this torture device slapped on, but the good news is it's actually working and I won't have wonky teeth anymore and I can take the damned thing out when I need to. Earlier in the week, I some of the bonding on my top front teeth that I've chipped several times fell off. I went to the dentist on Friday so they could blow freezing air over it, sand it down, and put more bonding on it so it can just chip right off again.
On top of the dental issues, after I complained to my mother that she had let a mosquito in yesterday, I was bit twice on the same foot. I'm allergic to mosquitoes, so my foot is still swollen, burning, and itching. The horror will continue tomorrow for my grandparents' 50th wedding anniversary, which my mom is hosting. Not only is the entire Raymond family attending, but my sister's lame gamer "boyfriend" will also be there. It times like these when I'm looking forward to going back to college despite my extreme distaste for most of those in attendance.
Today I moved back into Sandburg. I would have much rather been in Chicago seeing Finntroll, but this obviously was not possible. During the move-in, I met two out of my four suitemates. Yes, four, not three. The two I’ve met don’t seem too exciting and hardly said anything to me. They were lying around, watching Spongebob Squarepants. This should definitely be interesting. Someone left their bookcase in the hallway which was extremely narrow to begin with (probably because there’s an extra person in our suite). This was problematic because the cart with all my stuff on it barely had enough room to be pushed through and still scraped the bookcase. You can’t just leave that out in the hall. In fact, removing furniture is breaching the University Housing contract. If it isn’t gone by Monday, I will be asking whose it is and if it isn't removed, I will be complaining to the front desk. Luckily, my single dorm is much bigger than the one I had last time, and the window is so big it takes up an entire wall! I need all the natural lighting I can get. At least I’ll be happy with my room if all else fails.
