I don't think I ever changed the blog's format but change is good. Now it looks like I write more. Speaking of change, I haven't changed my underwear in 4 days. HAha jk... but not really..

Well today I went to the dentist and I have no cavities! I always hated going to the dentist and I still do. Well it's not nearly as bad as it was when I was a kid but it is definitely not a favorite pastime. The dentist commented on how many extractions I had and I realized that I had 8 teeth removed by the dentist, including my wisdom teeth. I really have underwent the many tortures a dentist can perform: cavities, wisdom teeth, braces, and x-rays! Ah man I hate those x-rays because it always feels like it is stabbing the bottom of my mouth. I actually once threw up because of that.. And I also bit the dentist's finger, on accident of course haha.

Anyways after the checkup, I mentioned that one of the fillings from a previous cavity was shredding the floss since there was excess filling in between two teeth. So they tried to smooth it away with this sandpaper-like strip of paper but weren't able get it in between my teeth. They had this tool to pry the teeth away from each other and yes it hurt. So they were doing that and they asked if it hurt and I shook my head because I didn't think it would take that long. But they said that they needed to numb my gum so they could pry it a little more, which is another reason why I said it didn't hurt because I hate their numbing shot. But I still got that shot and it brought back many unpleasant memories. There is a very distinct taste to that shot. It tasted like metal but I don't know if it was my blood or the needle or maybe both. But it didn't take too long and they were able to smooth it out significantly so I guess I'm grateful for that, yet if I knew that they were going to do that, then I would have said that my teeth are fine..

Now that I think about it, I feel bad for my dentist who had to put up with me every six months when I was small. I would gladly get a shot, a pimple, and a haircut all at the same time rather than go to the dentist. Gladly.

Summer has been going well. I don't have any set plans yet I still have important things to take care of. I really have to find a place to stay for next semester so my roommates and I are gonna go to san jose this week sometime. We saw this really nice apartment that was 2 floors but the guy didn't choose us.. I also have to take care of some advising stuff because I was waitlisted on half of my classes.. Well it should all work out if I just do it but knowing me, it'll take awhile.

Since my last post I did some not so regular summer activities. The Mexico trip was great. Helping build a house from the ground up is a rewarding feeling and so was seeing the family really appreciative. But the lodging there was pretty bad. You were not able to put toilet paper into the toilets or else it would clog up. So there was a garbage can to throw your toilet paper in. yes. The first night was such a bad night. Half of the guys were snoring so loud. It was unbelievable. The one guy who slept in the bunk next to mine had the weirdest snore; he would sleep silently for a minute or so, then roar for like ten seconds. It was scary. I got probably 2 hours of sleep that night. July 4th was pretty cool this year. I had some of my friends over and jeff had some of his friends over as well. It was a really clear night and the fireworks were superb as usual. I also went biking recently, which I haven't done in years. We biked along the Marina to the Golden Gate Bridge. Oh and it was Kasey's birthday recently so we had lunch with him. We went to his house after for a little while and I got to ride in his Porsche. That was fastest car ride I ever experienced. He was weaving through traffic as if the cars were staying still. I think having the hood down made it seem faster but still, it was fast. Such a baller.. Other than that, things are pretty chill.
