So.... Surgery

Today, I finished up the remaining secondaries I have, though no excitement for it. Being rejected from Wake Forest before getting a secondary was part of it. Knowing you're not good enough even to pay them a secondary app fee kinda hurts. more so, though, is knowing that tomorrow, I'm going to have surgery once again. After 4 eye surgeries, wisdom teeth removal, and having my  gallbladder removed just last summer, I think I've got surgery fatigue. Funnily enough, I've  appreciate today's pain just knowing tomorrow is going to be waaay worse. The continuous sinus pain sucks, but for the next three days I'm not allowed to move. At least I'll have decent painkillers - one of the rules for surgery is no NSAIDs for the 10 days before, and tylenol just doesn't cut it.

I'm getting more nervous as the time approaches. I'm putting my life in the hands of near strangers and hoping that the end result will be an improvement on the current situation. I can't really think of an alternative: sinus pain since march is not acceptable, but I doubt I'm going to be thinking that by Friday.

After talking to Bonnie yesterday, I've been thinking about how last summer compares to this one. Aside from the surgery, it feels entirely different. Post-graduation and unemployment makes me feel really aimless, and I despise not having something to do, dammit. Also, since Bonnie was here last summer, I miss hanging out and seeing things like this:

Fond memories from the poetry slam at the Mercury Cafe. my phone only does 15 second clips, so the clips aren't too great, but seeing them still makes me smile.
