good/bad

Good news:

5 pages of the essay from Hell for Anth 202 are done.
Halfway through reading "Fantasy Girls," and nearly done with "Fast Food Nation."
Green tea with blueberry makes me very happy.
Sent off thank-you note to CEO of That Company early this afternoon.
Bought additional note-cards and pretty gel pens to write notes to professors, etc.
Also got a bag of soft peppermints, + bag of the the Haribo raspberries, as reward for working.

Bad news:

Lower page limit for essay is 8 pages... still lots to be written.
Plus another paper for Death class. Plus the editing for English paper.
Still no sign of Social Security card. Will have to order a new one.
(Where the hell did I hide that damned thing?!)
This means getting my birth certificate from Dad. :P
Jaw/neck still acting up. Suspect wisdom teeth as cause, but cannot be sure.
Haven't had surgery since I was 5, so am terrified of having wisdom teeth removed.
Have also realized that if I get this job, I'll have to ask for a day off almost immediately to do this. Argh.
Feel guilty as it turns out almost everyone in office is leaving. Poor Nice-Boss. :(

This is me, right down to the jaw pain and the terror.

And woo for Fast Food Nation! Suggesting it to you has made me want to re-read it. Maybe tonight before bed.

*Laughs* Oh, thank goodness. Most of my friends had their wisdom teeth out when they were barely in college, and here I am, five years later... and downright petrified of the idea of someone cutting things out of my gums. *Sighs*

It's so good. And mind-boggling. I just finished the chapters on the meat industry, and like you said, the stuff about the government and the work conditions and the avoiding restrictions and all is just totally stunning. I'm glad I'm already low-meat, or this'd be sending me that direction real fast.

I've never had surgery, so I'm really freaked out about it. The thought of being put under is what really scares me ... more than the cutting things out of the gums part. Most everyone I know had theirs taken out in high school or earlier. At least we can endure our jaw pain together. I've been ignoring mine for so long that I hardly even notice it anymore, unless I think about it. (Yes, I am aware that I really should get it taken care of.)

Yeah, the entire time I was reading it, I kept thinking "Man, I'm so glad I don't eat that crap!"

I wonder why it is that we get so many teeth if our mouths are big enough to handle them all. The only really sucky part about that whole thing is that you can't really eat afterward. Or even a little before. And your cheeks swell. And in my case they didn't even let me keep my teeth! I wanted to make a grotesque necklace! Some crap excuse about bio-hazard. Please they're my teeth. What's the problem?

okay sorry about that. Sometimes I babble
