Higher, Jesus, higher

So...last summer I got a filling, between my back 2 teeth on the bottom of the right side of my mouth. It fell out while I was at Disneyland last semester. And...while I was flossing last night. I texted Phil, one of the USP interns and he made an appointment for me at a dentist in Kampala. I left UCU with Vincent, the USP driver, at 2 (and missed my class today, which was sad). I got there a half hour before my appointment and went in about a half hour after I was supposed to. It was okay though. I'd brought a book. Anyways, after I got in I asked if they have laughing gas. They did not. So I opted to get my filling re-done without anesthesia, because I HATE the shot. And when I got it re-filled before, he didn't drill or anything. Well...my dentist this time (Kathy) DID think it was necessary to drill, to reshape my cavity so it would hopefully stay in better. It hurt. Quite a lot. It was far different than any other dentist experience. I don't know exactly how.
Also, while Kathy was holding something to bring it to my mouth, whatever it was dripped straight into my eye. She told me that it's acidic, but wouldn't blind me. I rinsed my eye as best I could and after she finished my filling (a half hour or so later), I took out that contact because it was still burning. I rode home from Kampala and walked up to my dorm with only one contact. It as awesome. Then I rinsed the one (they'd given me a cup to put it in), took the other out, put on my glasses, and went to find dinner. I missed lunch so I was really hungry and wanted to reward myself. I got 2 rolexes, a brownie, and a soda (Fanta Passionfruit - which I will definitely miss). Now I am very full, my tooth is still sensitive, and my eye is almost done burning.
Overall, I'd say it was a fairly good day. Not the best overall, but dinner was delicious. I'm also going to watch an illegal movie (X-Men Origins: Wolverine - which isn't even in theaters yet). So my night will probably only get better. I have some popcorn in my room and will probably get another soda. AND I'll get to talk to Rusty. I hope.
I'm leaving for Rwanda in less than a week, on April 23rd. We drive back to UCU on May 1st and up to Entebbe on the 2nd. We'll be there for a couple days, debriefing and whatnot, and I fly out late on May 5th and get home in the afternoon on May 7th. It's coming up SO fast. I can't believe my time here is almost done. A lot of things here have become so familiar that it'll be very strange to come home again. The part of me that resists change is really nervous. I will be really glad to see people, especially my family. And Rusty, Becky, and Charlotte. May 7th will be happy; May 5th won't.
Thus far my summer plans are: Biola - May 14th-17th; Junior high camp - June 7-12 ; cruise w/ the family (maybe) - ; Jamaica - June 30-July 8. Other than that, I will be HOME. I'm excited.
Vaya con Dios.
