i can't even think of title for this blog.......partly because i'm trying to think why i can't seem to keep this blog updated. i'd be surprised if anyone actually is here reading this, thanks to my slackness. my apologies. welcome back to my life....to anyone who is reading........

so......march........
i started my job as an english teacher, at seokyeong university. although i started slightly behind everyone else, since i missed the 2 orientation days........i managed to learn the ropes fairly fast. i think i expected the job to be more full on, 'cause i remember saying (and i still sometimes think!) to my friend, heidi (the reason i have the job), during the first couple weeks, "i feel like i'm not doing this right.". but after a smalll discussion about the matter, i'd find out that i'm doing it right and that's all i need to do. i quickly found out that teaching at a university is totally possible for me and that i do actually like it. i more than like it. i should have made this change a long time ago! march came and went without much excitement after settling into my new job.

on to april.........
i turned the big 3-0 to ring in the new month......on the 5th. i never wanted to turn 30 but it's not so bad. i'm having a great year. i made an appointment to see the dentist about mid-month and after a good cleaning and check-up he suggested that i have a sideways wisedom tooth removed. it was pushing against the other teeth and causing a great deal of crowding. he also said that if he took out that bottom tooth, the top "partner" should be removed as well, since it would have nothing to bite down on. i made the appointment for may 3rd and dreaded it all the way.

may......
well to ring in this month.......i got the two teeth removed. i was scared as could be and stressed to the max but the dentist was great and the hygenist was so sweet. after 1hr and 20mins of tooth breaking, pressure, more novocaine than originally given, and some tears.......i made it! gosh.....nothing else in my life has made me feel like such a baby! goodness i hated it. but it was 3.5 days ago now and the swelling and pain have diminished greatly. i went for a check up today and the dentist said it is healing nicely. i get stiches out friday morning and i look forward to the complete recovery.
