I HATE having cavities filled. Mind you, I'm perfectly well aware that as teeth problems go, mine really aren't that bad. (Although for 6 years of orthodontics, you'd think that my teeth would at least be straight, and maybe line up properly - wouldn't you?) This does not change the fact that I really dislike a) having my mouth go all numb b) the low-speed drill, with the noise and the vibration c) the high-speed drill, with the noise and the feeling that the high-pitched whine is boring into your skull and d) the not-quite-right feeling in your teeth after having people poking around in there and messing with bits of them. On the plus side my dentist is really nice (unlike my ex-orthodontist) and talks to me rather than over me or at me, and every now and then lets me know what she's doing in my mouth. This does not, however, change the fact that my teeth feel vaguely-but-not-quite sore.

The walk down-Hill was nice, even if it was marred by the fact that I had to stop in at every establishment that might possibly be hiring and ask if they hire students over the summer. I refuse to be stuck at the end of June with no summer job again.
