noooooo.

no way.

yesterday, i went to the dentist since my widsom tooth on the right is coming up. i was missing one of my permanent molars on the right and the left, so i am supposed to keep my wisdom teeth to fill in for those... that's why i had braces, to pull all other the molars forward and fill in the gap that my baby molars would have left when they fell out. i don't have any wisdom teeth on the top, so i was told that i was all set. i wouldn't have to worry about my wisdom teeth or having any yucky surgery to get them removed. anyway, i went in and he took some x-rays and poked around and told me we have a problem. ack.

apparently, my top teeth way back there have grown down a bit too far, so there's not enough room for the wisdom teeth to grow in or whatever. things just aren't going to line up quite right. so he said i will either have to get my wisdom teeth pulled out, or the top molars will have to be impacted back up to allow more room.

NO FREAKING WAY.

i want to cry. seriously. i am so so so afraid of needles. and even more afraid of any type of surgery or anything. even just typing about it is making me teary. so yeah. i am just freaking out over this.

i have to go see my orthodontist to see what he thinks we should do, since he is the one who made the original plan for all my teeth rearrangements and stuff. but either way, it doesn't sound fun and i am just not a happy camper about this.

i have my final tomorrow for summer school. i haven't studied yet. no motivation. at all. but i'm not too worried about it. i have 100% on everything so far. haha. and the final only counts for 20% of our grade. so yeah. this class is a joke compared to what i'm used to. [oh well. it really just confirms that biochem was the right major for me because as much stress as it brings me, it's so much more rewarding to feel like you've worked your butt off to earn your grades, right? i love the challenge it brings.]

what else... today at lab meeting, my pi went over our plans for the near future. now that i'm waiting on my sequencing data on my homolog, i need something else to do. UMM. yeah. definitely have something to do now. when he was done talking about the work, one of the guys from the lab group who we work closely with asked my pi, "so are you getting a new post doc for all of this?" well. we are looking for a post doc, we had one who was interested, but she's not coming anymore. my professor replied, "that's why we have amy." WHAAAA? ack. it's going to be exciting, but stressful. i have a lot to learn.

anyway. i'm going to try to get some dinner and then study. i mostly just have some reading that i really should finish up. so yeah. i'm off to look for some motivation. :]
