Yep, I have officially started school again and the only thing it's done for me is make me excited for February vacation and overall college honestly.
I do not mind the work I have to do at school, I do mind the tedious talks they give that have no connection to the subject matter at hand. I want to either have the time to do the work they are assigning and have them not talking about things we already have learned for the past four years or I would rather them not assign these assignments. Period.
I have 2.5 weeks to prep for my mid-year exams. I have no idea was is supossed to be on them. And for some reason whenever any of us students ask them, they say "You don't need to worry about it." Yeah, why should we be concerned about fifty percent of our grade? We're obviously being overdramatic.
Well, because of stressful situations such as the aforementioned incidents I have devolped a nasty habit that I never knew existed: Bruxing. Bruxing, according to some site I found on google, is when you clench your jaw. Apparently, I do this. And I do it a lot. I clench my jaw when I am tired, nervous, upset, or under stress. Also, it turns out I not only do it when I am awake, I also do it when I am asleep so I wake up in the morning with severe jaw pain.
I found all this out when I thought that my wisdom teeth were coming in. No, they are not coming in which is good because I hate the idea of oral surgery. I went through a series of x-rays, including the one that spins all the way around your head and makes you wonder if they are aliens scanning your brain for information on how to take over earth, and after all that with no results to determine why I was having this pain that I was sure must be from my teeth being pushed together by intruding yet invisible wisdom teeth. I was wrong. And I'm brave enough to admit that to you.
My dentist then asked me: Are you under stress?
I answered no to this because I never really feel stressed. Normally I see a task that I must complete and I do it to my absolute best ability. After that, I forget about it. I move on with my life and fill my time with what I want to do.
The he asked: Do you grind your teeth? Or do you clench your jaw?
I said no to both because I never had thought the question before to myself. After thinking about it though, I realized I don't clench my teeth but I do seem to clench my jaw. Who does that!? Me.
Peace, Love and Pomeranians,
Maggie
