Alas, another weekend. More than half of Saturday to get through, and the whole of Sunday.

And the dogs are so annoying and keep licking my feet and I'm chameleon-less.

Now, did anything worth mentioning happen this week?

In enseign. explo. (Tuesday, philosophy) we're doing "contes philosophiques" - philosophical stories, with a moral at the end, and apparently they're going to be entered into some sort of competition. Eek. It's quite hard (when I write, I'm used to having a vague idea and then improvising; I've never really had to write a story specifically for class etc), but I think I've got an idea.

On Wednesday...we went to the dentist. It, I'm afraid to say, was dreadful. The dentist saw us in December and he should have flipping told us then that I needed bite openers, instead of giving them to me now. This is what they look like - little things that go on the back of your top front teeth.

 

 They make you lisp, have trouble eating and make your tongue really sore. The issues should go away in a few days, but aaaaarrggghhh. And the worst part? HE SAID 8 MORE MONTHS.

Hahahaha no. As soon as I sat down in the dentist chair - and when he'd looked at my teeth - he said three weeks. I'm fine with three weeks. Even three weeks with bite openers. But 8 months? There is no way I'm waiting that long. I can't believe my parents let him put them on my teeth, but he'd already done it before he said that a) one bite opener costs £100 and b) that it would be 8 months before my braces could come off. Because apparently the English dentists missed a step, straightening my teeth and not re-aligning my jaw. Thumbs up to the English dentists.

I do not want my jaw realigned. My jaw is like this. I don't want to wear metal & plastic things in my mouth just to alter my flipping appearance and remove the one in a hundred million possibility that my jaw would hurt when I'm in my 30s or 40s. IF it does, I can pay for it then. Then and if.

My parents, I think, aren't too pleased about how long it's going to take, and I think they may let me have them off earlier.

On Thursday I had acco. perso. French, which was good :)

I really wish I could have participated more in the class, but with my "S"s coming out as "SH"s and my "TH"s coming out as goodness knows what, I didn't really want to... *sigh*

And a whole two weeks now until we have it - and her, the teacher - again.

Lastly, on Friday, we had swimming. The teacher was a lot nicer this time and for some reason I didn't get as cold. It was tiring, though, and I wrenched my shoulder somehow and it hurts now.

I managed to swim a length underwater (25 metres) which I'm pretty surprised I managed.

I've got lots of homework, so I'd better get started on that. Bye.
