life: blood. pt. two; Tuesday

so i convinced my mom that i HAD 2 go 2 skool, and she let me.

i had congee 4 breakfast.

2 honestly say, with this ONE tooth down, it was much worse then when i extracted two pre-molars 4 the braces (i have a 7mm overbite--youch!) b/c with EVERYTHING, you have 2 use ur front teeth to bite into and get a grip to slid off the spoon/fork--even w/ congee, i had to turn the spoon upside down to feed myself.

in adv. kashif + alex didn't say anything. (we had same pe class).

in chinese (1st block), alex was like, "are you okay, angela?"
i'm like, "i'm fine. i'm fine. it's no big--i'm just fine." i wanted to say more, and crack jokes, but i really didn't want to talk--sometimes when i talked, my lower jaw would hit the steel wire, and i would get scared it would get disloged.

in chinese, frankie asked me, "are you okay, angela?"
i was like, "how did you hear?!" (i forgot that she was in my pe class that moment)
and she was like, "somebody told me." (which sounded and looked suspicious--ppl were already gossiping about my bloody accident?)

i found out during lunch that i left my APUSH hmwk @ home (sandwitched btw the laptop), so i had 2 redo the 3 pg wksheet, AND chem (i copied right off w.o. even attempting 2 understand anything). i didnt even think i could get chem in and i had it next, right after lunch, but @ least i got it in.

during my last block of the day, APUSH, i realized that i STILL didn't turn in my e-copy of my hmwk, (tim accidentally reminded me) so i was gonna call ma 2 get down here earlier so i could get home, get online, and turn it in b4 it was too late (we had only 15 min time frame, but we could race it).

but ma AND dad wouldn't pick up, and passing period was counting down on me. (after chem to apush).

kashif decided 2 ask me, "angela, are you okay? there was a lot of blood (or somthing along those lines)" when tessa and tim where there.
they were like, "what happened?!"
i was like, "thanks for keeping that descreet kashif."
i think that came across a bit sharp....>.<
he was sorry. so was i. (>.<) i really didn't mean for it 2 come across as serious!

so when apush ended, i had my phone in hand, and i was calling. no one picked up. i raced out (didn't need 2 stop @ my locker), ma wasn't there. expected. she always comes late.

nicole saw me outside, and was like, "are you okay?!"
i was like, "i'm fine. are YOU okay?"
she was like, "nothing happened 2 me."

so i had a BRILLIANT idea:
call nita 2 get it in 4 me.
it took 4ever, and she got to the wrong internet pages, but i didn't want to yell, much less be on my phone, in the library.
another brilliant idea: she could email 2 me, so i can upload it myself!!
there were no computers available. f my life.
the librarian saw me w/ my phone, but he didn't care. they're like that. sometimes they're asses, and sometimes they turn a blind eye.

i kept yelling @ nita to look for "lit gastby paper" and she was like "g?" i was screaming, "yes!!"

she kept on saying, "i dont see it" and i kept on thinking she didn't hear what i said. crappy phone signal again. AND my phone KEPT on effing beeping!!!! it would NOT stop!!! (i had another line calling me--ma)

it finally dawned on me that i did my hmwk on the BLACK ACER, which was back home. f my life.

so everything was a waste of time--me calling nita, calling ma--all those brilliant ideas.

so i gave up. my was gonna get here late, AND it alone takes 20 min 2 get back home.

ORTHADONTIST

so ma picked me up, and i was like, there's no need 2 see her mom. (i thought my splint came loose and slid down yesterday b/c i was washing my face in the shower, and i totally forgot about my tooth--i herd a crack, and i was like, OH NO!!

when i was drying up later, i asked my mom, "does it look like it moved down??"
ma was like, "tell dad 2 look  @ it."
but later she was like, "even if it did, he wouldn't have the courage to fix it for u hon. we'll go see kedzie 2morrow."

but she was like, we're going down 2 chinatown.besty knows about it, and she said to bring you down immediately.

i was like, okay. not ANOTHER cast! (my teeth were now different again)

so we went.

waited for two min.

doc saw us.

so we had to get the x-rays from kedzie (i KNEW i shoulda got them yesterday!!) (we didn't trust USPS to mail it in a timely fashion), and run them down 2 chinatown.

late nite back home........................

i had 2 write a sob story 2 my english teacher. hoped that she buys it (i really didn't have time to get it in on time, but i do have to admit, i could have done it friday, saturday, sunday, monday, or tuesday since i coulda emailed me, but i had more important things on my mind--like if i was gonna loose a tooth for example.)

she still hasen't responded, which makes me nervous, but i turned it in.

my inbox is now filled with 100+ messages from survey-ers which i don't have time 2 complete since i'm studying 4 apush. heck, i shouldn't even be on here!

life: blood. pt. one; monday.

well, let's start from the beginning.

on sat. may 1, i saw on the news all these parades/strikes on the news b/c it was may day (5/1), and i was like, ok.

on sun. may 2, i was flippin through my planner, and i saw that on friday, THIS friday, i would have the AP test. i was like, "WTF?!!" where did this come from?!

but yea. it happens 2 me all the time. that's why ppl should know better than to ask me what date it is, cause i NEVER know. seriously. i don't keep track anymore...

i finished my hmwk due 2morrow, and was gonna study 4 the geometry test when i realized that i left my notes in my binder in my locker, in the school. good job!!

so i finished lit, @ like 9 o clock (started @ 4) almost forgot 2 print it, but didn't! one thing i DID forget was to turn it in on turnitin.com since we needed to both hand in a paper copy and an e-file.

i realized that in class when donna reminded me. i would have seriously forgotten.

MONDAY, Block 4, aka, BAM!

so, everything was normal. in PE we were going 2 play frisbee again. that's fine. i don't hate it though it sucks because: a) it is windy out. it always is. but they still make us play frisbee of all outdoor sports b) sometimes, it gets REALLY FRIGGIN cold out.

i still ran around instead of standing there because... i dunno. we had been playin frisbee 4 a while now, and i knew that i could catch, but not throw (arm's length ppl!! but i didn't want 2 seem like a taddle-tale).

so i was trying to catch a frisbee, when i collided with nicole. head on. honestly, i wasn't watching where i was going b/c i was trying to catch it. (it's windy out, and the frisbee does all sortsa crazy stuff. i've seen it before)

i herd an "oh!!" like, you want to divert ur eyes, ouch, "oh".

honestly this is what i felt:

a) no pain @ all.
b) my tooth was loose. i could immediately tell.

stephanie came over and i think i remember asking her, "am i bleeding?" (i couldn't tell).
she was like, "yea, ur bleeding. ew. ew. ew. i can't stand the sight of blood."
heavey came over, perfectly calm, brought me inside.

on the way out of the soccer field, on the uneaven brick path, i twisted my left ankle. i was like, "good job!!" but i was honestly only worried about covering my mouth/protecting my tooth.

i couldn't tell which was loose.

heavey opened up the locker room for me to clean up. i couldn't really do it w/o a mirror, but i really didn't want to look. i'd rather be blissfully ignorant.

but i did, and i sort of gasped. my right front tooth was WAY loose. but it was still intact.

**this is what was running through my head the entire time:
a) what about my braces?! i was going to get them on next week!
b) i'll have to remove it.
c) i'll have to replace it
d) it will not be covered by medicaid
e) it will be MORE money ONTOP of the braces.

so heavey handed me over 2 pagani cause everyone was still outside and they needed 2 be supervised.

nither one of the nurses was there, but they had to call my parents.

my mom, of course did not answer her phone. when does she?!

my dad's cell was called, but she picked it up.

the clerk made it seem like my ma couldn't comprehend what was happening--i was like, "is her english really that bad?!! when i need it right now?!"

she wanted to put sugar on it to stop bleeding, but policy was to only provide ice.

it would be fourty friggin min. until they could get there. f my life.

she was like, "how do u get home honey?" i was like, "i walk." (it was 45 till 3:15)

but solin saw me. we made small talk.

arnam saw me.

they sent 4 jenifer 2 get my stuff.

i went 2 the bathroom to clean up.

i cried. i didn't stay long b/c they could be looking 4 me.

john saw me.

my dad finally came, and when he said, 唔會有事ge.

that's when i teared.

he HAD to freakin park the car SO far away (by this time it was VERY close 2 dismissal, so there were SO many cars) and SO friggin close to the watev sports team that was leavin when i had a bloody shirt, pants, AND a bag of ice on my mouth?!

my god.

so we went to kedzie dental.

i guess my ma called earlier to tell her we were coming in.

she treated my like an emergency, which my dad really appreciated apparently, as he later revealed.

the nurse was like, "what happened?!"

my dad was like, "someguy hurt her

she was like, "a guy hit you?!!"

dam him and his stupid malfunctioning english! he didn't even know if it was a guy or a girl! i had to explain 2 the dentist, "no, i was in pe, gym, and i collided w. someone."

honest to josh, putting it back in hurt a lot more then the tooth coming loose.

so she had to put a splinter on it to basically keep it in place.

she took an x-ray, i would for sure hafta get a root canal, in a few months (in a few MONTHS?! i will FOR SURE not get my braces done in time.)

we had to wait for ever for that x-ray! (15 min.)

but it came back, there were no fractures, and we could leave with a prescription of anitbotics+pain killer.

we dropped off Rx @ walgreens, and i wanted to go home 2 do hmwk. i had a shitloada stuff 2 do. but my mom wouldn't let me. she wanted 4 me 2 go 2 the restaurant and rest. i didn't want to rest! i need 2 work! study!

but i could hear in her voice, she was crying, so i went.

and i was tired actually. so i slept in the car, and slept again late.
