So today I trundled down to the local oral surgeon to finally get my 4 wisdom teeth out. They weren’t causing pain but I hated them and was given the options:Get them out ASAP, get them out when they cause significant problems, wait until I get back to New Zealand hoping that they wouldn’t do the inevitable and cause trauma in exam week.
Obviously I went with the ASAP option. So at 0840 I arrived with Kate at the surgeons, filling out forms asking if I was prego, a drug addict etc. Just after 0900 they called me through to take a CT scan of my mouth so they can see how close the major nerve was to the roots. In the end they decided that mine weren’t close to the nerve which made feel fab!
On being taken to for my CT scan the lady complimented me on my fantastic hairstyle which gave me butterflies! After the scan I was shown to the surgery. After chatting about New Zealand and an old movie that was released in the 80’s, they starting injecting my arm full of drugs. They must have injected 3 or so different drugs before they went for sedative. The kind surgeon told me I “would feel extremely happy in a few seconds once the valium started circulating”. The last thing I remember was saying “ooohhh, my arm feels happy!” Then I was out for what might have felt like a few seconds.
As I said yesterday I am in a bit of a pickle. I am begining to run out of things to write about. Like back home, the weeks are taking on a similar routine which aren’t that interesting to write about. Of course I’ll keep posting my usual whinges; I have a few up my sleeve for a rainy day.
So my plea to you is for ideas to write about. What do you want me to write about? It could be almost anything. If it is good I may even creat a video to discuss! Hell set me a challenge if you want, it isn’t like uni gets in the way… If no one has any ideas I’ll continue on like usual, posting a Sunday roundup on Wednesday at the earliest. The more you give me, the more I give you. So comment below, flick me an email or message me 0n Facebook.
Also don’t forget to vote in my poll to win some awesome prizes! If you discover the voting loophole, don’t vote for the same thing twice. That only hinders you, I’m looking at you Hannah…
Can I be bothered trying to keep up with this questions for next week?
Maybe
So another interesting goes by. This Sunday marked weeks since I landed in Missoula and 8 weeks since I arrived in the States. Time is flying by. Though the exciting, touristy stuff has been left in the past… for now, something may be in the pipeline in the coming weeks. Heres hoping the timing works out.
Not much of signifcant note happens during a typical uni week. I just tend to notice small things happening. Like someone spilling what appears to be a bag of cocaine on the footpath in the university.
As discussed in the Sunday Roundup I’m hosting a poll on what my condition will be on arrival in NZ. 1 vote per person. Must be logged into social media to vote. Winner must live in New Zealand or select states within the USA (I don’t know which yet). There is 1 winner and 1 runner up. The winner will be chosen by random number generator from the winning option. E.g. if I arrive morbidly obese, the winner will be someone who selected morbidly obese. Poll will be open until Sunday, or longer because I’ll probably forget about it.
The prize will be selected by the winner and the runner up, with the winner getting first selection on prize. They will select 1 of 3 available prizes which are: A large bag of chocolate, a toothbrush, a cheeseburger.
Actual prize may vary slightly in brand and model.
I am back!! This is my own website. I can do whatever I want with it! All new activity will happen here. I will try and import the mailing list from the old site in the next few hours so you shouldn’t have to do anything. As this has only just gone online expect stuff not to work for a while, it is still in it’s rough infancy. Let me know if things don’t aren’t working still in a couple of days.
Welcome to my last post on this site. It has been fun but I have grown tired. I want to do something else with my time. So I say goodbye to my loyal audience. Thanks for the memories.
It isn’t a sad day though. It is a happy day. After days of behind the scenes waiting, working and planning, I have created a new website. elmeheecan.kiwi is my own website. My own little bit of the internet that I own. My blog content is being transfered across as we speak and when I get time I will tweak it so it all works perfectly. Regular postings will resume imminently.
There will be some other stuff on the website as well in the future.
So head on over to my new website. The future looks sweet!
Within the next day or so the site will undergo a massive revamp. It will not be recognisable in the slightest.
Maybe I’m over hyping the planned changes, maybe I’m not hyping them up enough. I suspect I’m not hyping it up enough. That’s good because when you see the extent of the changes you will be blown away. It is like having low expectations of grades achievable. If you aim for 51%, when you get 55% you have surpassed your expectations and you feel amazing! Not that I have low expectations. I don’t know. I’m just rambling now. If you read to here, for once I have wasted your time. I promise not to waste it again. Why are you still reading this post? I explained what is happening in the first sentence. Now you can’t blame me, as you chose to continue reading. Go outside and play, or have a coffee, or sleep, anything but continuing to read this ramble. Subscribe to me and you will be emailed when the upgrade is done. It will be my next post. Go! Go do something more productive.
A little while ago I discussed how Montana viewed the rest of the world. Now that everyone has settled in we are able to explore the minds of a greater sample of people in terms of their views on the rest of the world.
In short, they don’t believe that it even exists.
More shockingly, they don’t believe that the American continent even exists. But New Zealand’s bench and door are still represented. This looks bad for me…
It turns out that the amazing deal on chocolate that i found back in the day is actually a scam. A rip off. A total waste of time. Why? Look what I found for $13.
135 addictive sized chocolates. It is a crime to buy the smaller bag!
At the supermarket I also discovered a thing called ‘Boss’s Day” which I am skeptical is a real thing, and not just another money grabbing bullshit day the card companies made up. Sadly I missed it, like I seem to miss most card days. Oh well, there is always next year
What will be the fallout from falling asleep in class?
110% on first quiz. I might try sleeping in class more often
Is it possible to find an even better chocolate deal?
Yes
Will I buy an iron from Walmart because the ones available here are evil?
Yes, and this one isn’t evil
Will I shrink all of my clothes in the washing and have to buy an entire wardrobe?
Ha! No.
As has become apparent the dates get away from me and I have failed on almost every occasion to post a Sunday roundup on the Sunday to which it relates to. As a result there may be events that I forget. This has the positive flow on effect of me not including boring stuff that obviously wasn’t important enough to remember in the first place.
