Ouchy... Ouchy..

I feel and look exactly like that now! Just had my last 3 wisdom teeth removed. Didn't took long, but they are all gone. Now what's left is a little clear bag that keeps these teeth for a little souvenier. My face is still numb, swollen. I can't sleep. The moment I lie down, I start to drool... Disgusting, isn't it?? Yup... the agony of dental surgery. I've always wondered why these teeth were called the wisdom teeth. We use to joke that when these teeth were removed, we will be left without wisdom. Seriously, who started it all, calling it the wisdom tooth (pl: teeth)? I am hungry and dying for something to eat, but the taste of blood is stopping me from doing so. Yea, yea,... I shouldn't be so figurative. It's not that bad actually. When I had my first wisdom tooth removed 4 years back in 2002. It was the worst ever experience that I'd ever had. It was the hottest day at 35 deg C. The bleeding continued for the longest time. My teeth was impacted (grew horizontally) and it tool the surgeon a good 2 hrs just to take it out. horrible isn't it. Today, it took the surgeon 30 minutes to have all 3 taken out and one of them were impacted. Amazing?? Tell me about it. My teeth don't look all too bad *giggle*. They do look smaller from what I'd expected. Well, I think I can feel the tingling feeling now, so it's time for the painkiller to kick in and hopefully a nice sleep. I'd planned to go into the lab tomorrow to finish my experiment. Do you think I'll be able to make it? Let's us hope so. :)

Tic tock.. Tic Tock..

Tic tock.. Tic Tock..

Hard to work today

Lazy Friday is what I call today. Just like the bisons in the picture that Emilie sent from France more than a month ago. That just reminds me that I have not reply her email since coming back from D.C. Downstairs, about 80 kids are screaming and kicking. I don't understand why they have to have these kids coming to the university to play during summer time. Have they forgotten that people work here? To think that these parents pay hundreds of dollars a week to send these kids here. I am just surprise why they don't just send them to summer camps. At least, these kids will learn valuable things in the nature, instead of running around on campus ground. It's just crazy. They have been using the conference room next door as lunch room, and the administrators allow it. I don't think the janitors are happy because they have just cleaned the carpet and walls during the spring. How much revenue are they gaining from all these summer uni kids program. I simply do not think that it's worth sacrificing the peace and quiet working environment for the staffs here for anything at all. I just don't get it. How much of concentration and work can we get from all these noises!?! It is Friday afternoon, and I can't say enough how I would enjoy walking out of here today and dying for a good weekend.
