I started my dental hygiene program this semester. I like the dental field but I have always been TERRIFIED of being in the chair. I finally decided to face my fear and just take it like a woman! I got two cavities filled yesterday and today I got 3 wisdom teeth removed at UIC College of Dentistry. Oh my, am I in pain!!! (The horror, the horror! It was so real) But I was given general anesthesia so it wasn’t as bad as I was thinking it would be. Still, it hurt like hell an hour later. And eight hours later, I am still in excruciating pain! I cannot open my mouth very much at all. But I am on my way to a nicer, healthier smile! I still have a looong way to go…seeing as ortho is in my future. Oh well. I’m on my way!

It’s about a guy and a girl, and a road trip. Mostly it’s about their relationship. They love each other. Girl wants commitment. Guy is scared of that word. Overall, I thought this movie was kind of sad, especially the ending. It is pretty realistic, a close portrayal of some relationships. Interesting but I really did find this movie to be kind of a downer.
