Although I am still seeing life through a cold/flu filtered lens, I spent my afternoon in a very satisfying way. Attending both my classes (which, considering my sickness, is a milestone), I went to my dentist appointment where I learned that coming this June 14, I will have all four of my wisdom teeth extracted. While this doesn't appear to be satisfying now (as any type of surgical procedure, needles and blood make me very uncomfortable), I am looking forward to not having these ridiculous wisdom tooth related headaches. That and I get to have painkillers...not like I'm into that or anything.
For the first time in a long time, I made myself lunch. It was simple: grilled cheese and tomato soup and some oranges on the side. Lunch at home was very therapeutic, it was also one of those moments where I felt like I was an adult. I sat at the dining room table (for once), read the new Stranger and listened to music. I remember when I was a kid, I used to hate having dinner at the table because it would take me away from watching TV and also was a regulated time for lecturing. I remember thinking that when I "grew up" I could eat wherever, whatever and whenever I wanted. Unspecified variables are always key as children. Why is it that we are so liberal when we are kids?
The value of sitting at the dining room table has become more illuminated to me as I am now older and wiser, not quite "grown up" but getting there. I think I need a fixed salary and a pet/child to qualify for that status. With the amount of stress and chaos that occurs everywhere else, it is important to sit down and relax and remove oneself in order to regain composure. I thought I was going to sleep my sickness away after lunch but instead I did the dishes, vacuumed (finally!) and spent 3 hours at Victrola doing homework and drinking coffee, which I hadn't had in a day. I hope that I can start some kind of habit.
In an hour or so, the bros and I will be seeing the Dirty Projectors. I'm really excited about this because I haven't seen them in a while. Also, after last week's disaster, I am ready to have some fun. I have also been a little too preoccupied being preoccupied with my English teacher. Who's to say that isn't important, though? I really hope he doesn't discover this.
Anyway, final thoughts for this post:
1. Tim and Liz need to step up with their "writing"
2. I have the biggest crush/in love with my English teacher
3. I drank too much coffee
4. I need a new job. Did you think I was kidding when I said that last?
