The Topic of Great Randomness

[Cait]

@96bookworms: Yeah, finished it and figured out why they couldn't all just, you know, blow it off and chill til people got sick of it. Although after /that/ was bothering me, the incredibly dense stupidity of the main character in anything but wilderness survival literally nearly drove me up the WALL. /No one/ is that naive or clueless. I may have mentioned this already, here, but I don't remember.

Anyway, I still have the second book on hold from the library, and Heaven only knows how long it'll take to get to me. Silliness. D'you know, I can check out audiobooks to my computer, but if I want to return them before the 10 day checkout period expires, I can't, even if I'm done with them! So whoever is waiting for them after me is, well, screwed, because they have to wait the full ten days from when I got the book for it to expire. And of course I have to wait loads longer to get books I've got on hold. And half the books don't work on Macs, because the library doesn't like Macs.

I'm hoping that the Amazon UK folks don't deliver my book while I'm in Germany... cause I don't know how long the post office will hold it before they send it back undelivered and create a huge mess for me to handle upon my return!

I have no more physics labs!! Yes! *does happy dance* SO glad. I don't have to wake up at 6 on a Monday until next January, woo! And I have six more physics lectures!

I wrote a midterm for organic chem today. I didn't finish. It was nine pages long and we were expected to do it in 50 minutes. I think I left about two pages blank, including a seven point question. I'll have to see how I did, I guess.

I'm slightly jealous Amazon has changed their release date to March 25. Chapters still has theirs for April 7, which is 16 days away, but I'm still slightly sad. I have the countdown on my phone.

About all the abroad trips: I'm glad you guys are having so much fun! Soaking up a different culture is amazing.

Congrats to everyone who has gotten their braces off: I hope you find eating things such as carrots a joy.

Yikes Trialia. I hope that toothache goes away soon. I wish I could suggest a miracle cure, but I don't know of anything other than medication that helps with the pain.
Both my parents had infections in a tooth a couple of months ago. My dad had a water pick, and it helped him, because his was caused by something lodged in between two molars. He told my mom to use it, and let me tell you, I thought she was gonna attack him after she used it. Hers was an abscess too, and she said the water pick sent her to her knees in pain. So I wouldn't use one of those! (The smiley kind of looks likes he is grimacing in pain, doesn't he?)

I am sad to be on this side of my Spring Break. I had all these plans to be productive and read my chapters in advance and start on my two novels for term papers and read YW all the way through... needless to say I was not productive. I read a little, and started knitting my brother some fingerless gloves, and watched tv and laid outside in the sun, but I hardly even looked at my school books until today. Oh well. Being productive is overrated anyway.

Congratulations for your braces, Hungry!

OMG, Trialia! That sounds horrible! I hope you're not in pain much longer. My dad has a tiny crack in one of his tooth that, when hit the wrong way, sends pain shooting down his jaw. He switched dentists recently; the old one never found out, but the first time he saw this one, he found out the problem.

96bookworms (if you have another name, I don't remember it, sorry!), I haven't had any teeth problems either, and I got braces, too. I got them off last... June, I think. After being on almost exactly three years. I got my retainers and I've only seen the orthodontist a couple times after that; my appointment as postponed twice, then the orthodontist canceled because of the weather, and I still don't have another appointment made, and I think my upper teeth are starting to move out again. I wish I could see him and confirm! I suppose I should start wearing the retainers in the evening to self-correct the problem; I only wear them when sleeping now.
