The dentist decided just to do fillings yesterday, and skip the temporary cap till next month, which worked out okay as he had an emergency come in that he had to take care of, and I spent probably an extra hour or so hanging out on the nitrus machine, listening to Soft Rock on the radio. Whee. I was okay until I went to adjust the tubes and accidentally unhooked one. Oops. The nice dental assistant came around and hooked me back up, but it took a bit for me to calm down again.

My jaw hurts a bit from the various things it was subjected to yesterday, but nowhere near as bad as it would have if he'd done the cap, too. But my teeth look pretty, so that's good.

In other news, school is going to kill me today, so if no one sees me again, you may blame Fresno City College.

Seriously.

I have to register for next semester today, and I spent half of last night digging through stuff from City and Fresno State, trying to figure out what I actually need to take, then trying to find a class or two I could take with (ew) Elementary Stats that wouldn't be too horrible...

So I get to register. Then I get to dash over to the art gallery on campus, take pictures of the least boring thing there on my stupid teacher's list, come home and answer a bunch of stupid questions about it. This is due Friday.

Then there is the art test, today, which I sort of forgot to read the chapters for. This means hauling Mr. Art Book to school, and I'm going to have to take a second bag to carry it in, because it won't fit in my backpack with Mr. Algebra Book and his friends (all of which, naturally, I need today.)

And sometime before Algebra, which naturally is my first class, I have to hope I can get my homework done. It's not too hard- Algebra I review, factoring- it's just sort of boring.

I already feel like my head's going to explode, and I haven't even done anything yet.

This does not, as they say, bode well.

It's been a long week. Feels like it ought to be Friday already. I should be so lucky.

I'm kind of overwhelmed by everything I have to get done today. I'm trying to plot out how I'm going to get it all done, but it just makes my head hurt. Maybe not enough caffine.

I just keep telling myself, if I can survive today and Friday I have a week off.

I'm going to need it.

But the good news is that when I was looking at the transfer requirements for State last night, I discovered I'm a lot closer than I thought I was to getting out of City. I have one whole section of stuff that's done, another that's close. Maybe another two or three semesters after the fall one- maybe less, because Stats is the last math I have to take, and without something horrible like that on my plate, I can survive more units without (one hopes) my head exploding.

There is, after all, a light at the end of the tunnel. Now if this semester would just be kind enough to not kill me...
