One tooth later

On Friday I made a trip to midtown in quest of an oral surgeon who would extract an infected wisdom tooth. Hours later I had succeeded in defeating the stupid situation which made my life annoyingly difficult the past week, and emerged free! Free! The tooth is out, and I'm slowly making my way back to eating solid foods. The side of my mouth looks like I have cotton balls stuffed in there (it's swollen from the surgery), but that should subside soon. My speech is a little slurred -- it sounds kinda like the Godfather....I just walk around all day saying "I'm gonna make you an offer you can't refuse".

The process has really been pretty straightforward and painless. I have not even had to resort to the Vicadin - simple Ibuprofen has been enough to keep me feeling normal. My eating capabilities have slowly progressed to now eating soft foods and being able to chew. I hope to be in full form by Monday, excepting a little swelling and some sensitivity to hot/cold foods and drink. Oh man I can't wait. I 've been on a liquid diet for 5 days now....and let me tell you, it's amazing what you can make into juice form with a blender (I was on the Weekly World News Garth Brooks Juice Diet! - for those random movie fans out there)

As for law school, to be honest the reading is not nearly as bad as I'd heard. It could be this introductory course that we're all taking for a few weeks called Legal Methods, but I only have about 2hours a night. I'm expecting it to pick up once real classes start after Labor Day. I do find reading cases pretty interesting stuff....but I am concerned that my entire grade depends on the final exam. Kinda arbitrary, if you ask me.

Anyway, more later. Peace out for now.
