its been a while...

maybe even a couple whiles, since I've blogged. I'm currently sitting in the comfy living room of my cousins' house. Kathy is making yummy soup (to cater to my non-solids post-wisdom teeth extraction diet), Kimberly is taking a nap, and Craig is winning at an Ohio State football video game thingie. Its nice to just sit around and relax, and have an excuse to do so.
The whole "going under" procedure during teeth pulling is really strange. (I asked about gettin it done with just local anesthesia like Kelcie did a month ago, but they said they'd only do one side at a time like that, and who wants to go through that twice?) I wondered if things would just sort of fade out and get blurry and confusing like the only other time I passed out (while donating blood) but they didn't. I didn't really notice ever being out. I was talking and listening to the nurses talk and then I was still listening to them talk, except my teeth were on the little tray table in front of me, and there were more tools than there were before. It was confusing. And then I got up and got nauseous and had to lay back down again. And I got all cold and sweaty, but it was okay, because Kirsten took my pulse the whole time and I looked up and winked at her. And then I felt better and we left. And then I couldn't talk because I had lots of gauze and blood in my mouth. But I have good friends and housemates and they pampered me and I sat around all day and wrote notes to people and put ice on my mouth and did crosswords and su doku's and watched a stand-up comedian video. And then slept. And I feel pretty good today. Which is good, because tonight I get to go to Kimberly's hour after. Which I hear from those who went last night is super-amaaazing (with an eye-roll, Kathy...are you at 7 now?)
Ok, enough about my boring mouth. The semester as a whole is going quite well, though entirely toooo fast! I've been enjoying being around Goshen friends and family again, and my house/housemates are fantastic. Its almost spring break, which is exciting because I'm going home! I and a few friends (2 or 3) are going to road-trip it. Which is kinda silly. But shall be quite fun. So long as we don't get caught in a blizzard in Oklahoma. Which is kind of inevitable, but ideally it will just slow us a down a bit, and nothing more. (My family has had terrible luck with Oklahoma in the past...)
And spring break makes me realize that half of the semester is over and that I really ought to be plotting out the next year or so of my life. Many friends are moving Denver-way, so thats a possibility. Closer to home. Mountains. Sun. Friends. Diverse and interesting place. Sounds promising. A ver.
