Can't chew stuff... :(

Decided to get braces this year. Partly, because my sister recommended that I do so. Partly because my current dental insurance is pretty good. So I started on Friday 13th, 2009. They put in eight spacers around my 2nd molars. Now I can't really chew anything hard. :( So I ended up eating ramen and instant noodles. I wonder if braces are gonna hurt even more. Oh boy... what did I get myself into.
