BEDA 4: The Dentist

I have never, in my life, looked forward to going to the dentist. Until now.

Last month I went to the dentist for your routine cleaning, when the...nurse? Dental hygienist? I think you know what I mean. Anyway, she thoroughly freaked me out after she had a look at my X-Rays.

"...This is weird. Have you had any pain on the upper right side?" (referring to my teeth, obviously.)

"Um. No." I replied, a bit uneasily.

"Hm. I better have the dentist have a look. Maybe it's just something on the X-Ray..."

After nearly 30 minutes sitting in the uncomfortable patient's chair waiting for the dentist, whom by this point I loathed, the dentist comes in, asks the same pain question, and determines that I have a cavity. WHOA. A cavity?! Who would've thought. Seriously, that's the first conclusion to which I would have come. Thanks for freaking me out and making me wait thirty minutes for information I could have given myself.

After the initial rage wore off and I ate something, I realized that it actually hurts when I chew on the right side of my mouth. I began to look forward to the dentist appointment awaiting me on August 4th.

As I'm sure you have surmised, it is August the fourth. And I am not waiting impatiently for the dentist. No, my appointment has been rescheduled because the geniuses at the dentist office scheduled me for a CLEANING. Um, how many patients do you know who come in for a cleaning once a month? Not many, I'd imagine. Ugh.

So the one time I ever look forward to the dentist, I don't get to go. I JUST WANT MY TEETH FIXED. Isn't that your job?!

On an unrelated but more exciting note: I registered for Pottermore today! I was so beyond confused about how registration worked; I thought you had to sign in with the email address you used for pre-registration, which I guess it turns out didn't matter, and THEN register. But I got pretty much no sleep and stayed up all night refreshing the page every half hour, and FINALLY, at this morning, there it was! An actual page with instructions! The clue was way easier than I was expecting. But I'm registered! I'm not a squib! (If you're wondering what I mean by this... go here.) I am excited to find out what exactly Pottermore is going to entail... Oh, and if you're wondering, which I know you definitely are, my username is OwlMist131. oooooooh!

Until tomorrow, dear blogosphere!
