While Thanksgiving itself went without a hitch, ok there were a few things that went oddly - but for the most part, now it's the day after and I feel odd.
Mostly because of my teeth (yes, I will be complaining about this again, but listen for a sec.). Ok, so my fiance's cousin, let's call her S, is a dental assistant. She also does teeth extractions. I knew this going into the whole, going to my mom's house and she'll take me to a dentist and get my teeth pulled stuff. I knew she was a dental assistant, what I didn't know was that she did tooth extractions, especially wisdom teeth. So far it sounds good doesn't it? Maybe she could do it low-cost, etc., etc. Well, I'm not that lucky.
She does refer me to this place that will pay me to get them extracted while they do research on pain killers. That is the good part. But, (there's always a but isn't there?) she is not sure if they are open over the holiday weekend. This upcoming week is the last week of classes for me and then I have finals next week and I'm out. I would bear with the pain, but the pain makes it almost impossible for me to get my work done at all. I have a gazillion topology proofs to do and must, this is funny, blog for my service-learning course.
I'm at a loss, I don't know what to do. I will try to get this cleared up and see what they can do, but they will have me spend the night. If they don't have room for me and cannot accomodate me this weekend, I will be going to my mom's next weekend to get my teeth extracted. The good news about that is they, my wisdom teeth, will be gone before the GRE Subject test and I may do better than I thought I would. The bad news about that is that they won't be gone until next week and I have another week of non-productivity. I also have to clean my room and stuff to make sure I can bring the things I need to bring.
In other news, I asked my professors to write letters of recommendations for me. I had been holding it off because I was kind of shy about doing it. I knew they were coming, but didn't know exactly when the application deadlines were lining up for the programs I wanted to apply to. I wish I knew I was getting in somewhere. I really wish I knew that, it would take the stress off of the application process entirely I tell you. I have approximately 6 days after I get off for vacation to find 2 Christmas presents for exchanges I'm involved in. Then I'll be visiting my dad for Christmas and my fiance is flying in on the 23rd to visit my dad.
Gosh I hope everything turns out alright, the main issue right now for me is my graduate school applications and my wisdom teeth. Woe is me.

Honestly, having my wisdom teeth out was not a big deal. I had all of them done at once, and I was fine in a day or two. The worst part was not being able to brush my teeth. Good luck!
