Ear Piercing

By reading the title you can probably guess what happened, but I will tell you anyway. I got my ears pierced! Now I have dark green studs attached to my ears. We had to walk a long way around ChengDu before we could actually find a place, and I was starting to think I wouldn't have to get my ears pierced. Finally, we walked into a place that told us there was a place that pierced ears right next door! Right about then I started getting freaked out, and when the lady took out the piercing gun and put the studs in I wanted to run right out of there. Here I will put my thought process during the piercing:

1. Before she put it in: Ow, ow, ow, this is going to hurt so bad!!!!
2. After she put it in: Hey, that didn't hurt as much as I thought it would.
3. As she was putting it in the other ear: Ow, the other ear feels like it is on fire! This is going to hurt!!!!
4. After she was all done: Ok, it feels like both my ears are on fire now.
5. The next 10 min: Ow, ow, ow, ow, OW! Its stinging!
6. After 10 min: Ok, doesn't hurt anymore, I over reacted... a lot.
7. Now: YAY! I got my ears pierced!

So that was basically my thought process about the whole thing. Now I have to wear these dark green studs for about 2 months before I can take them out. I am so happy I finally did this! I chickened out the last few times, but this time I actually did it!
