wisdom in and out
Tomorrow I finally get my wisdom teeth out. Phew. So glad.. of course because I'm me, I'm all nervous about the possible nerve damage/ sinus fuck ups etc that could accompany it but the constant pain in my head became so debilitating this past week that I realized I couldn't wait until after finals, so the sooner the better. I'm super psyched to get it done, now that I am.
Life is lovely, other then the major amounts of slack I've been going through lately. I am having a lull in things actually being due as of late, but this means that I'll have papers due over the next couple weeks that I should be working on. But, I'll be taking a few days off work because of the teeth healing and hopefully I'll be back to usual self (minus throbbing jaw/head pain) soon enough to catch up this weekend.
So glad Obama is president. I wanted to write something more meaningful then that, but too much zealousness from myself would be feigned. I'm nervous, and worried, that there is just too much banality for him to fight against, and I don't honestly believe it is possible to get to the presidency completely pure. I just hope he can make the difference he says he can. Among other things though, it's promising that we have a leader who speaks and looks like a leader our country can be proud of.. I think that with globalization the way it is today, it is really important we have someone the rest of the world as well as we can look at as a leader and Obama is certainly that. Also, For the first time since I've been legal to vote I am looking forward to decisions our president will make with hope. I am so used to being cynical about our executive branch that it is quite a pleasant surprise that I can still be excited about it.
On Friday, I had to go back again. I can't believe how much pain around me affects me.
I miss Tamara TONS. We have such a kinship, I'm so sad she had to leave so quickly. Yesterday she sent me a picture of a broccoli/cauliflower hybrid with the message "HAve you seen this new broccoli cauliflower hybrid? It looks like fractals and made me think of you!" oh yum. :)
Without her here I feel this kind of weird protectiveness towards Julie. She's so sweet and bright and people don't see her for how unique her kindness is the way Tamara did. It would be easy to label her as weaker or less intelligent for people who don't know her, but they're definitely wrong. Her innocence can be very deceiving. She has something very special, and I'm lucky to have her as a friend. I'm glad that Tam opened the way for me and kept me open to her so that my stupid arrogant-elitism and own self-doubts didn't keep me from being her friend. There are so many things to learn in life, and most of them are so humbling and the greatest lesson I constantly learn is being harmonious with other sentient beings. This life has certainly become one of constant learning, and I'm learning so many amazing things. Julie is such a living symbol of that, and one of the people I learn the most from.
Life is incredible and beautiful. I'm excited about it every day, and so lucky to be here.
