10:45am tomorrow!

One of my deep fillings cracked, allowing entry to bacteria that has caused a nasty infection. This is going to be really expensive!

Something has gone majorly awry in my mouth and jaw... and it has only been escalating the past day. Yesterday, I seemed able to keep the pain under control with large doses of Ibuprofen every 4-hours... but overnight, this hasn't been doing the trick. I'm not sure if the pain has escalated or the Ibuprofen is just less effective than before. Maybe ( Read more... )

My previous post demands a certain degree of closure.

Indeed I did not have much of a chance to study for the Networks mid-term. Fortunately for me, it wasn't the sort of mid-term that punishes such poor behaviour. Nothing was really too detail-oriented. As someone who doesn't enjoy purchasing textbooks Wikipedia + course notes is studying gold ( Read more... )

Meticulously Scored LifeI'm quite accustomed to ( Read more... )

Just what I needed... Now to focus.
If I get too jacked up, I just want to run around.

Finally... 2.25 Months after entering the country.

Drinking, IHOP, Linux, Sushi, iPod....

Friday
The Common Reuse Porter (canadianveggie) became memorably intoxicated at an intern gathering. Even Ms. Rowe (sarahrowe) was well along the path of inebriation. Yes, it was my night to be the responsible one... Or rather the partially-drunken mildly-responsible one. Actually all I did was ensure that Chris didn't choke on his ( Read more... )
