Spring Break Updates

Greetings, squadlings.

If you’re wondering why I haven’t posted recently, it’s because on Wednesday, I had my wisdom teeth removed. All four of them. LITERAL HELL.

I knew the recovery was going to be rough, but I didn’t expect it to be as bad as it was. Right after I woke up from the surgery, of course, I felt nothing, but I did end up crying over mashed potatoes. Don’t do drugs, kids.

Loads of painkillers, lots of sleep, and one season of Friends on Netflix later, and it’s Saturday. I’m still swollen and in pain, although the pain isn’t unbearable anymore. I’ve also become a master at talking with my mouth closed, because I still can’t open my mouth without excruciating pain. To give you an idea of what I look like, it’s something like this:

Beautiful.

Aside from being a human chipmunk, I’ve basically just been sleeping all break, considering I can’t go to work looking like this.

The viral video of my dad, which you can read about here, peaked at about four million views before it died down. Thank god that’s over.

My sister is in Italy for Spring Break, and should be heading to Greece soon. She promised she’d bring me a bobblehead of the Pope. We’ll see.

Other than that, I’m pretty much just basking in my own misery.

I start school again on Tuesday. Pray for me.

Until we meet again, squadlings.

Spring Broke

MY FIRST SPRING BREAK AS A COLLEGE STUDENT HAS ARRIVED!

And I’m doing absolutely nothing.

I wish I could say my friends and I are taking a road trip, or jetting off to Florida for a few days, but no. We’re stuck here in the cold, gray world known as Wisconsin. Because we’re broke.

One thing I knew was coming, but have come to realize, about adulting is that EVERYTHING is expensive. Everything.

My friends and I talked about maybe doing something together for Spring Break, but alas, we’re broke. Yes, we all have jobs, but we don’t make enough to take even a weekend away. I get paid well at my job, don’t get me wrong, and I like my job. It’s just that traveling is expensive, and I can’t afford it. AND YES, I MAKE ABOVE MINIMUM WAGE.

So, while my sister jets off to Italy and Greece for two weeks, I get to have my wisdom teeth removed. Who’s the real winner here?
