Swollen, puffy cheeks

So this short fall break has turned out to be a rather interesting and eventful extended weekend. I went to Universal Studios with Josef for the Halloween Horror Haunt. It was way more fun than I expected. Frankly, I kind of expected to hate it, but I actually really enjoyed it. It was rather amusing and I can definitely see why Adam and his friends must love working as the monsters at Knotts Scary Farm. It looks like it would be a blast to dress up in costume like that and run around trying to scare people. I really didn't find it scary at all but then I got the impression that Josef was kind of protecting me from having too many people jump out at me, which I really appreciated. Of course I got lost going to and from the amusement park as usual. In fact I got really lost coming back and ended up having to call my parents at 1 in the morning to have them help me figure out where I was and where I needed to go. They were really nice about it though and I got home just fine.

My next day was spent fielding some rather dramatic phone calls from some friends, which I won't get into at the moment but I'm sure it will come up again. I then packed up that evening and headed home.

Early Monday morning I left with my Mom to the oral surgeons office and had my wisdom teeth removed. The procedure went fine and I was out of there in a fairly short amount of time. Since then I have been recuperating at home (refusing the pain meds to the great dismay of my parents) and trying to get some of my work done for my classes on Wednesday. I'm not sure if I'll be attending them yet as I'm still having some pain in my lower jaw. I've decided that I definitely won't be making it to my early morning class but I emailed the professor the work that was due so hopefully that should take care of that. I'm still undecided about the rest of the day but I'm hoping to be feeling well enough to go to program in the evening, although I'm not exactly sure what I'll do about the eating part. They'll have to come up with something special for me I guess. Josef indicated that he wanted to come over and see me afterwards so we may hang out in the suite and watch a movie. I feel kind of bad that he'll have to drive all the way down from the valley to Claremont just to hang out in my suite, but it was his idea and I explained to him that if I went to program I would probably be too tired to go out anywhere afterwards. I think it's kind of sweet of him to be so concerned about me having the surgery.

Thursday night Cat and I are planning to go see the midnight opening of High School Musical 3 so hopefully I'll be feeling well enough for that. I know, we're dorks, but it's something to do and a reason to hang out together which is good enough for me.
