Well, I lived through last week, which was the toughest week of the summer for me.  Had my final in physics on Thursday and then got my wisdom teeth pulled Saturday.  Both of which went pretty well I guess.  I still don't know how I did in physics, but I got at least a B.  I mean, the final did have 20 points of extra credit on it, of which I know I got at least 15.  So that could help boost the grade.  Friday after work I went over to Janet's house for her birthday party, which was nice because almost everybody was there.  Only missed Laurie W because she was at Kelly Lake.  It's always fun to have all the girlies together :). 

Then of course I got up early Saturday to head to the oral surgeon.  It actually wasn't as bad as I thought, as everybody told me.  The needle for the IV didn't really hurt, and actually the minute or two between the injection and when I actually passed out was kinda entertaining.  Just felt weird I guess.  I think the weirdest part about the whole thing was the fact that one of the nurses was a friend's mom, the oral surgeon was a friend's dad - both of whom live in the same neighborhood as my grandparents.  And my dentist lives in that neighborhood too, and I know his kids as well.  Apparently I told my dad this about 5 times in a row after my surgery before I could actually remember what I was saying.  I was told I was also laughing a lot and said that I wanted to do it again.  Not quite sure about that one, but I guess it's kinda like being drunk - what you say doesn't always make sense.  But anyways I'm doing alright, still kinda look like a chipmunk and whatnot, but the pain is getting better.  It just really hurts to smile.

Basically all thats left for the summer is Chappy and Joy's wedding next weekend and getting stuff ready for school.  I can't believe I'm going back in less than 2 weeks...actually I can because it always seems to go by this quickly.  What sucks is I only have one summer left :(.  Then it's off to the real world for me as well.  It can't be all that bad though I suppose - I mean I'm at work now and look how much I'm doing.  Perhaps I'll just look for a job that keeps me busy.  What a concept.

Man did that prove true last night for us.  Watching Illini basketball I get pretty intense, as anybody who has watched them with me can account for.  Especially my family.  During the second half last night against Arizona I had to go upstairs and watch the remainder of the game on my parent's plasma because I was swearing too much and getting too nervous to be around other people.  I was almost in tears with about 5 minutes left because I thought it was over, along with almost everybody else watching, but then I heard one of the announcers say, "The last thing the Illini can do right now is panic."  I thought to myself that if I didn't want them to panic, then I shouldn't either, so I calmed down for a second, and thats about all I had time for, because we started our miracle comeback shortly after.  I'm suprised the neighbors didn't call the cops with how much I was screaming.  But as you all know, we pulled out with a 90-89 victory, and now I get to see them play in the Final Four against Louisville on my birthday.  Needless to say, one of the things I would like for my birthday is for the Illini to win.

The game was definately a contrast to the rest of the week - Florida was definately relaxing.  I went to Cori's house in Ft. Myers for a little less than a week with Jenny, Nicole, Ann, Kari, and Niki, and we had a blast.  We spent lots of time in the sun during the days (and unfortunately I got a little burned), and played games at night.  One of which was Moosehead, which I found rather entertaining, especially because I was fairly good at it.  Which means of course I didn't drink as much as everybody else (mainly Nicole), but it was entertaining nonetheless.  The week was obviously filled with little inside jokes that nobody else will understand...our sisters of the sea, panthers, almost getting crushed by a gate, dreidels that are actually ball markers...we made a list of stuff that will most likely get published somewhere online.  All I can say is, thank you Cori for inviting us into your gorgeous home.  I had an awesome time.

But for now, I think I'm gonna take a quick nap before starting my homework that's due tomorrow because I was up early this morning for Easter sunrise service.  Man is it colder here than it was in Florida.  Hopefully that will fix itself soon.
Current Mood: excited
Current Music: seriously, this computer should figure out how to play sound
