So you might remember from my last post that I said I was worried about my tooth hurting now that the decay has been removed exposing the nerve. Well, what's weird is the tooth that was worked on is ok but the one below it on the bottom is hurting. It isn't really horrible but it is a distraction. I have been taking at least one to two doses of IB for the last three days. Tonight I waited a little late to take my second dose and it was really bothering me so I hopped on line and did some looking. I found lots of suggestions for toothaches like oregano flakes, ground cloves, and alcohol (including things like vanilla extract or something) but the only one that I could stand the thought of doing was actually a treat. Peanut Butter!!! It worked!! I mean we aren't talking 100% better but it help a lot. I am hopeful that I wont have to do anything major before my next appointment but we'll see. I just had to share this. I mean I don't know about you guys but I love peanut butter and the fact that it actually helped is great.
So anyway I just wanted to throw this out there, I really need to get some work submitted, see ya later.

YEAAA, today's a snow day!!! Oh wait my class was yesterday:'(
So that just seems to sum up my week so far. And it's only Wednesday.
I have wanted to post a blog for like a month now with everything going on about school but right now I really don't feel like rehashing that stuff. I do however feel like complaining about this week that is starting to really get on my nerves.
Monday-
Knew from the moment I got up this this was not going to be a fun day or anything as I had a dentist appointment to start taking care of my 11 fillings. I wasn't looking forward to it but I was being strong and going to get it over with. I really don't have a big problem with what a lot of people do with the dentist. I don't mind the shots as I can hardly feel them, I can handle the drill and the sound doesn't send me into a panic. Honestly the only part I hate is having to lay back for half an hour and feel like I can't breath. I know that I can breath through my nose and obviously I do or I wouldn't still be here but the whole time I feel like at any minute I am going to choke on my own spit. Also my mouth starts hurting from having it open for so long. Also in many ways I am my own worse enemy in that I let myself get so stressed about the whole thing that it doesn't matter if I went and ended up having no work done I would still leave feeling stressed to the max. This brings me back to this visit in particular. After going through everything and feeling more uncomfortably then in pain the hygienist says I could sit up and the dentist would be back in just a minute to talk about what they found. Here I am thinking we are all done with this one and am patting myself on the back for making it through the first two and suddenly with those words I realize something ain't right. Sure enough he comes in and shows me a picture of where they reached nerve and explained that they can't go any further with the drill. That's right, we're talking root canal. It took everything in me not to start crying right there. I had basically just sat through what what as bad as a filling for nothing, well not nothing, to find out it didn't matter and that we were going to have to start all over again with something way worse. Now I personally think I would rather just have them (there is another one right next to it in the same shape and they are in the very back) pulled but who knows if he will even consider that an option. All I know is I went through a really bad day that stopped me from getting any homework done just to get told it wasn't enough.
Tuesday-
Not really a super bad day as days go. That is up until the night came when I was supposed to go to class at 4 and it had been snowing all day. I kept waiting for ivy tech to close like everything else in the area but of course they never did. I finally just wrote my teacher and said that I needed to play it safe and wasn't coming in only to have to drive back in the dark on roads that were even worse after having been snowed on for the last 3 hours. I also said I would just count tonight's lab as one of my drops as I thought we got two throughout the semester. He wrote back and was very understanding. He however didn't point out to me that the drops were on the quizzes that we take at home and had already done. I had to discover my mistake later that night as I reread my syllabus. By then it was too late so I just lost all the points for one of my labs. I still would have had to make the same decision but now I was really mad at the school for not calling it off so that I had to lose the points. Then today I wake up and mom comes in and says that there is like a foot of snow out there. I walk to that back window and sure enough. She then tells me "oh yeah, and Ivy Tech has canceled class". I just look at my school site and sure enough "Ivy Tech Community College-Central Indiana is closed due to inclement weather on Wednesday, January 28th. All campuses are closed and all classes are canceled." Now Why Could They Have Not Done That Yesterday!!! Grrrr. It's day like this I wish we had hurricanes in Indiana. I know this sounds like a weird statement but hear me out. I remember when I was young how it sucked to not get snow days like they did in other parts of the country. Then the ol' blizzard of 93 comes along but by this time I was being home schooled so who cared. After that every time there was a hint of snow the schools would close and the stores would run out of milk, bread, and beer. Now since I have been up here, if there isn't more then 6 inches Ivy Tech WILL NOT CLOSE. And that has to be like a sudden 6, if it takes all day that still isn't good enough. So it got me to thinking about something jess told me about. I think it was last years hurricanes that south wouldn't close for one ever though the city was under a recommended evacuation. I feel like she was smart and left anyway but still this was the dumbest thing I had ever heard. So here is my thinking. If Alabama is so concerned about snow because they never have it then maybe Ivy Tech would finally shut down if we had a hurricane. Of course I wouldn't be able to enjoy it as much if we were surrounded by a foot of water as I can with a foot of snow.
Truth be told in my case it isn't the whole state not reacting to snow, just my stupid school. Like missing one stupid class is going to ruin the whole semester.
So anyway now I have 6 labs and 5 quizzes to get through in order to get caught up because finally all of my books and stuff are in. I am so over 2009 already.
Love you all, I will try to post some pics of the pretty snow with a bit of a prettier mood. I really do love the snow, just not the world that wants to keep turning under it.
