Teeth, I am Disappoint.

So today I went to the dentist. It was the usual, I lie about how much I floss and my dentist tells me I'm brushing perfectly. This time I mentioned a little something about my top wisdom teeth coming in (I got my bottom two out two years ago) so he took a look.

It's true they're coming in, but with nowhere to go. My mouth is very small, apparently. So he took an x-ray and we saw them sort of wedged against my molars and pointing sort of at my cheeks, trying to find a way to grow. In this case (which I learned from Dr. Sardi) there is a large chance of infection, meaning my cheeks will swell up and I won't be able to eat.

Having seen this, he scheduled an appointment for THE NEXT MORNING. Which means, I'll have my teeth out, feel awful, not be able to go to Ottawa to see the triplets get baptized, and have the rest of my reading week, what I've been looking forward to since the new year, ruined. They rushed me out of the dentist office so fast that I didn't have time to protest.

So I called my mum on the walk home and cried to her. Thankfully she called back and changed the appointment. But that means that I now have to return to Toronto in a week to get them out, feel like crap for a day, then go back to school. Awesome. I'm not looking forward to that at all, but if it has to be done, what can we do?

Other than that little fiasco today, my reading week has been great thus far.

More updates after it's actually over!

General Update!

So, wow. It's almost been a month since my last post, and now I decide to right before leaving for reading week! That's right, I get to go home for 8 whole days, then go to Ottawa to see the triplets get baptized before going back to school. A few things worth mentioning have happened since I last posted, I'll try to remember them here.

About two weeks back I went to Ottawa to meet my Mum and Molly, like I did when I wrote about it in a previous blog. Basically it was the same set-up: we spent Saturday together then visited the triplets on Sunday before heading back to our respective cities.

So Saturday we basically met up and went to look at all the ice sculptures for the Winterlude Festival. We also trekked to a place called The Scone Witch, which apparently has awesome scones, except it was closed when we got there. Oh well. Later we went swimming at the hotel, Molly & Mum went skating on the frozen canal and then we went to Milestones for dinner where I (once again) did not get carded when ordering a martini. I had a white grape cosmo, Molly had a blackberry martini and my mum had a grapefruit martini. Yum.

Then Sunday we visited the triplets (and a few cousins in the process). They're so big now!! All around 14 pounds, the last time we saw them they were under 10 pounds! We fed them and took pictures (on my facebook) then they went to sleep.

So that was a good weekend.

Last Thursday I donated blood for the third time. They advised me that my blood type is actually A- instead of O- like they told me earlier. And from what I've been told about family history, that makes a hell of a lot more sense. Still, only 6% of the population has that blood type; O- was 7%. Anyway, I almost fainted, which the volunteers didn't like. In the end I was fine, though.

But the next day I was drinking with some friends and we decided to go for a walk around Montreal. I actually had more than them so we just thought that's why I was so dizzy and sick all night. Then we realized that I had a significantly less amount of blood in my system and everything made sense. I ended up laying in bed, awake and sick until 6:30am. Finally I decided to just go make myself throw up (sorry that's gross, guys). But after that I felt SO much better. Let me tell you, you don't ever want to touch the floors of residence bathrooms, but I had little choice. The next day I was slightly hung over for pretty much the whole day, but thankfully that was Saturday so Sunday I felt better. I learned my lesson, though. Not sure how I was so stupid to drink after giving blood in the first place!

And the final mentionable thing that's happened since I lasted posted, is my first university mid-term! I didn't have any in first semester which was nice, but it made this one much scarier. I freaked out for a while, but I also made some really awesome study notes, which helped.

The exam was today, and I totally nailed it! I don't wanna jinx it, but there was almost nothing I was completely in the dark about. Some answers were more clear than others, but overall it was good! Take that, british literature of the 18th century!

My train is on Friday the 18th at 6:40am. I'll be home by noon, then I can start enjoying my relaxation time. See you later, Montreal!
