Oh, Hi!
I’ve not been here for quiet a long time :O
Let’s see, where to start….
So the surgery was a success; I have no more tonsils! Not only that, I lost like, I dunno how many kilos due to having only fruit smoothies and ice cream for almost three weeks straight. I’m not anemic (I’m quite healthy apparently), so that’s good. The downside is, my body’s doing…. strange things.
An example is when I try to chug something (as in, drink it very quickly, usually out of thirsty), it’ll end up coming out of my nose (the liquid in question). The first time that happened, I was having a strawberry smoothie (milk, sugar, strawberries, blended together for deeleeshoos drink). It was surprisingly painful to try and pick the leetol strawberry seeds out of my nose ._.
Another example is when I drink soda (i.e. Sprite, Pepsi, Mountain Dew). Instead of getting “fizz” up my nose, it happens in my ears! I’ll have to sit there for about 20 seconds (yes, I timed it, 20 seconds average) and not be able to hear much. Hopefully this won’t occur for the rest of my life, though I’ve decided to not drink soda for a bit and see what happens.
I also have trouble speaking. My tongue won’t seem to move the right way with certain words, like “bowl” or “trouble”. It’ll end up coming out as “bool” and “troobl”. It’s somewhat funny, but also embarrassing. Then again, this has lessened over time, so I figure it’s just a matter of re-learning how to use the muscles that have been left behind.
As far as tonsils go, those are the only inconveniences I can think of….
Oh yeah! I have glasses now! I don’t remember what the subscription is, off the top of my head, but below is a new picture. You know what, for the purposes of before and after, let’s give you all before & after pictures. (Sheesh, my nose is huge ._. )
It’s sort of nuts, huh? I daresay, I’m pleased with the look. (Even my acne problem isn’t so much of a problem anymore.)
I’ve been getting a lot of compliments from various people. I realised I was on a weight “plateau” prior to this surgery, and I guess my body needed something sort of extreme to getting my metabolism jogging again. Since the surgery, I’ve not gained a single kilo.
Moving on:
School has been going rather well. I got a 90% on my most recent exam (it was on the US Court system). Also, I’ve finally reached a new level of inner peace by changing my mind on what career I want to pursue.
Ever since I was a kid, I thought I wanted to be a Crime Scene Investigator. Science likes me, and I like Science (especially Chemistry). I like analyzing stuff (to be blunt/basic). But! I realized I had been wanting to analyze the wrong stuff.
I’ve always sort of had a knack for understanding how people feel and a knack for knowing how to read people. I can almost always tell when a person is lying, or telling the truth. I can pretty much feel what a person is feeling, either by looking at them, listening to what they have to say, or a combination of both. What I need to do is deal with live people, not dead people. I think I can use this (I flatter myself here) “talent” to help people, more than if I analyzed crime scenes. SO! I decided (while in the shower on one lovely Wednesday evening) that I’ll be a Forensic Psychologist.
Everywhere I look, I get the impression that it isn’t going to be an easy road *at all*. It’s definitely going to be tough, but I think I can handle it. I like talking to people, I like understanding people, I like knowing why people do the things they do, react the way they do, and think the way they do. Truth be told, my English Composition skills were markedly higher than my Chemistry skills.
And what’s great about it is, the current branch of Science I’m getting my bachelor’s in right now applies to this same field! Yay!
Let’s see… OH!! OH OH OH OH OH!! I ALMOST FORGOT!! THE BABIES ARE HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERE!!
Monkey & Pachona’s chicks hatched! I’ll be posting new pictures tonight, and may also be uploading a video 
On the family front, things aren’t so great. There have been a lot of things that have been happening lately, none good. But we’re holding in there as a family, and we’re sure to get through it. There are some things that just need time, to pass, and patience.
On the upside, we’ll be moving house soon-ish. By “soon-ish” I figure within the next 2-3 months. I’m quite fed up living the house we live in at the moment. The only good thing about it is the ridiculously big back yard. Hopefully we’ll be able to get a house that’s in better condition and has the same size back yard \o/
I’m also back at work! I’ll blog later in the weekend about something my lovely boss had the audacity to do, but for now, I think I’ll leave it this post here
*wiggles*
Hmm, i’m really slow at reading. I subscribe, then see a lot of text, and think “i’ll read that later”. And then i forget it, and today i actually manage to remember to go back and read it
But i see you also neglected some promises about things you would post shortly after, so i don’t feel that bad
Your nose is definitely very normal. Any nose can grow huge if you look at it for too long
