Meet the Class of 2014: Yiming Bao

Oct 03 2013

Our series continues where the Class of 2014 tells “What I made this Summer.”

“I got my extra teeth removed this summer,” says Yiming Bao. “About three years ago, I  started to feel something underneath my tongue, inside my lower arch. Then last summer my dentist found out those were two extra teeth inside when I took an X-ray. ‘We have to wait.’, he told me. So I waited them to come out, until this spring. It was such a weird feeling, a mixture with worry, strange, droll, and little sense of special. I almost got an absurd notion of keeping them. However, finally I said goodbye, to the teeth and to my obsession with weird feelings.”
