Back for a bit

I was looking at all of my friend's posts and it made me want to post again, although I do not really have anything to say. I got my wisdom teeth out on May 14 and I am still on major pain medication. After the surgery, my doctor apparently told my mom that my body would not know the difference between this surgery (in terms of trauma and pain) and being in a bad car wreck, breaking my jaw and losing a couple of teeth. Apparently he had to cut my teeth out of my jaw and the upper tooth was almost into my right sinus cavity. Once you hear all that, it makes more sense that I was flat on my back in bed with pain for a week and that I threw up my pain medications enough to get dry sockets on both of my lower 'holes'. I do not know what else to call them... But one of my friends said, this is one thing that I will not have to go through again. I will probably get bronchitis again and I will probably get the flu again, but I will never ever have to have any more wisdom teeth out, thank goodness.

I have finally felt well enough to stop watching TV (My mom calls it the M*A*S*H stage of healing--or recovering from school--because I watch HGTV, the Food Channel, Animal Planet, TLC, and the Hallmark Channel or TVLand--whichever is showing M*A*S*H. I'm usually watching M*A*S*H when she comes in though or at least that is the way she feels it is.) and so I have begun organizing everything in my room and making a pile of things that I need to get done. And I finally figured out and wrote down all of my hobbies that I have while I'm at home: drawing, writing, reading, juggling, crocheting, and scrap-booking. When I am at school I do not have the space to do all or, really, any of those. There is juggling club and swing dance club that I try to go to, but I do not always have the time. I guess it is partly because I have a bunch of friends at UNC. But I think it is mostly because of the work load. I am not trying to complain; that is how it should be. But hopefully once I graduate I will have more space in my life to be creative. When I went to London and had so much free time I started writing again and wanting to draw and crochet. I realized that I need time and space to be able to be creative.

Anyway....I guess I did have a little to say. Staff training for camp starts June 3. It is crazy that this will be my third summer at camp. I still do not feel like I am a very good counselor. Hopefully I will be a little better this year than the last two years. We will see...
