wisdom teeth

Today I got my wisdom teeth out.  I had to wake up around 8 to get ready.  We had to be at the place at nine so mom could fill out all the paper work.  They finally called me back at ten.  They explained the procedure then sent mom back to the waiting room.  They put my to sleep and did the procedure.  It sounds like it went pretty well.  I'm supposed to stay still as much as I can today and just relax.  I'll I've been able to eat are milkshakes and some soup.  It sounds great but it really isn't.  I miss normal food already.  It'll be a good 4 or 5 days before I can eat normally again.  Needless to say the rest of the day was pretty boring.  I mostly just relaxed in my room and laid in bed.  I'm hoping I feel a little better tomorrow.  The numbing has just went away now.  I wish it was easy to recover.  When they removed the teeth they couldn't just pull them out so they had to shatter them  to get them out.  It feels good to finally have it over with.  We had to keep putting it off because of family things.  We were supposed to originally do it the week I got back from Philly.

Today I realized that school is about to be starting again.  My counselor called today because my schedule wouldn't work the way I had set it up before the summer started.  So we got that all fixed.  I had to change what math course I was planning on taking because of my music class.  The schedule is completely different this year because school is starting forty minutes later than we did last year.  The schedule sounds really confusing and I will be missing twenty minutes of a class every other day because of the music class I am taking over at the other school.  So it will definitely be interesting getting used to the new schedule.  My music teacher emailed all the second year students yesterday so we can all get together and talk about the curriculum for the upcoming year.  The second year students curriculum is pretty open.  We basically just have to pitch an idea for a project to him and he clears it.  It'll be nice to have that freedom now that I know more about the programs.  I am looking forward to taking the class again.

8/23 and end of week

8/23
Mom got home last night.  Its nice that she's home again.  It was a pretty lazy day overall.  I mostly just relaxed and worked on some music.  In the evening Mom, Esther and I went out an ran some errands.  We went to the grocery store to pick up the groceries for the week.  Last week while she was gone, we only picked up groceries for the next few days so we were going every couple days.  I feel like things are a lot more organized when Mom is home.  She always has everything all planned out.  Dad, on the other hand, knows what needs to be done for the day and gets that done but only for the day.  Both are fine but I tend to feel more organized when mom is around.
It was pretty boring the rest of the day though.  Dad found out that Heroes is on netflix so he's been watching that again.  I never really got into it though.  I tend to watch more comedies than dramas as far as TV shows go.  With music on the other hand I tend to like darker music more.  I think its kind of interesting.

There really isn't much else going on for the rest of the summer.  I think Mom and I might go visit some more colleges in the last week of august.  If we do go we are going to go visit Monmouth, Connecticut College, and Lebanon Valley College.  Monmouth is in New Jersey, Lebanon Valley is in Pennsylvania and Connecticut College is in New London, Connecticut.  Connecticut College is one of my top choices right now based on program alone.  I hope the campus is just as nice when I go to visit.  The other two are pretty low on my list but who knows, that might change after I visit.  I continues working on the common application today.  Luckily all the schools I am applying to but one use the common app.  Also luckily I only had to write one essay that works for all the colleges I am applying to.  It looks like my college application process is going to be fairly easy but I still have to do auditions.  I have started working on two of the four pieces I need for my auditions.  My first one is February.

Mom came home today.  She got home around 9.  It was a kind of eventful day though.  Dad, Esther and I went to go get dinner at panera before we picked up mom.  We had just finished dinner and had stopped for gas.  When dad tried to start the car again... it wouldn't start.  We had just put a brand new battery in it so we were very surprised.  We called AAA but had to wait almost an hour for anyone to come help us so Dad called a cab for me and Esther to get home.  Mom took a cab home from the airport.  Dad had to get the car towed to the auto shop and we'll wait till monday to get is serviced there.  Dad wasn't home till around 10 though.  Dad was very frustrated.  Dad and I came to the conclusion it was something to do with the computer.  When we turned on the car both the park and drive lights turned on and the engine wouldn't turn over.  It was very weird.  I hope its not too much of a problem to fix though.  I like having the minivan to myself and being able to have a car whenever I need it.

Its been pretty quiet around here.  Dads been working till around two or so everyday then coming home.  When we got home Dad and I took sandy over to burke lake park and walked her around the lake so she could stretch her legs.  She hasn't been feeling real great lately.  I think she really misses mom.  She gets home Saturday evening.  I really haven't seen her that much this summer.  I was in philly for most of the summer then shes been gone for most of august.  It will definitely be nice to see her when she gets back.
There is only three weeks left before school starts again.  We start again on September eighth.  I don't really know when locker day is however.  I already know what my schedule is basically so there won't be any surprises.
There aren't any more plans for this summer really.  I am getting my wisdom teeth taken out next week but other than that there isn't much else.

We didn't do much today.  Dad went to work for a while so Esther and I were home alone for most of the day.  Esther and I went to the grocery store to get some stuff for dinner.  We are going to make dinner tonight.  We are planning to make pasta.  Dad got home around 2:30 or so and him and Esther went to the pool for a quick swim.  When they got back Dad and I went over to walmart to get a charger for the car.  The battery in the pilot isn't working so we are going to try to troubleshoot it.  There really isn't much else to talk about.  Its been a pretty quiet week around here.  There is only another 2 weeks or so of summer.  I don't think school will be so bad this year.  I am taking English, Spanish, Geography, and Statistics this year.  I will also be taking the music class I took last year again.  Some of the classes are more difficult than others but overall I don't think they will be terribly difficult.  School starts about an hour later than usual this year so I'll get an extra hour or so of sleep which will be nice.

Today Dad decided to stay home and work from home.  He didn't have to much work to do so Esther,  Him and I went to get lunch then went to Ikea and the Mall.  Dad was looking for a new cabinet for the dining room.  However they aren't making the one he was looking anymore so we didn't end up getting one.  We went to the mall afterwards and looked around.  Dad and Esther had never been to this mall before so we kind of just explored.  Dad and Esther ended up each getting a shirt from Hot Topic.  We got lunch at this place called Bonefish Grill.  It was okay, it wasn't really anything special.  I got some fish tacos.
I don't have any more plans today.  We got home around 4 or so.  I think dad is going back to work tomorrow but I don't really know.  We have absolutely no plans this weeks as we were supposed to go to Yellowstone this week.  The last few of my friends are leaving for college this week so I am trying to see them before they leave.
