Hello, Halo

So, it’s been awhile. Sorry about that.

School started and things were going okay. It’s been busy, but my classes are interesting, with the exception of Adolescence… I really hate that class. It’s kind of like taking 7th grade sex ed. Which was fun when I was in 7th grade, but you know.

So, readers, what have you missed out on? The weddings, school starting, some work drama, some school drama, some tooth drama…

So, I’ve had a toothache for a few weeks, but I thought I was just being a wuss, so I ignored it. As I was eating a granola bar one day, a piece of my tooth came out. Gross. So I went to the dentist and was told that I need a root canal. I couldn’t afford to have them do it, so I made an appointment at University of Iowa Dentistry. I was told it would be $190, which is something I could pretty easily afford right now. The earliest I could get in was September 16th, which was three weeks after my original dentist appointment. So, I went up last week, waited around in the dentist’s chair, had three or four different dentists come in to talk to the student who was supposed to be doing the root canal. At the end of it, I ended up having to have my root canal done by a grad student… and ended up paying several hundred dollars more. At the end of the root canal, I asked the dentist what the hell the problem was.

Apparently, in a normal molar, you have 3 roots and 4 to 5 canals. In my molar, I have 1 root and 1 canal. I would think this would make it easier to do a root canal, but apparently not. So that was fun.

School has been making my head explode. Anthropological Theory is ridiculous. I cannot wrap my head around it, no matter how hard I try. Well, maybe if I try harder… it’ll probably be okay. Linguistics is going alright, too, other than the fact that Hopi language makes ZERO sense to me. Rachel is in that class with me though, so she keeps me sane. Along with Ryan. Haha, dude says the coolest things.

I’m considering my options as far as school goes. I’ve got an appointment with my adviser next week to come up with some sort of graduation plan. I’m relieved to know what I actually want to do, but I’m so bogged down right now. I don’t feel like I’m accomplishing anything. I hate school. I was always told that I would be one of those kids that flourished when they got to college, but I’m not. I always thought I was smart, too, but apparently I’m not. I have a really hard time retaining information, and concentration? Forget about it. My concentration sucks. Even when I’m doing stuff I like to do, it sucks. Which leads me to believe that getting a degree is impossible.

Well, I’m off to try to concentrate on homework, but it probably won’t go very well.
