Current Mood: Slightly Nauseous

Leading on from last post....WHY MUST EVERYTHING BAD HAPPEN AROUND EXAM TIME?????

Was it the milk and orange juice? was it the fruit I ate at night? was it the salmon (i hope not...)

Well, Wednesday night, while steeling my resolve to do my assignment. I found that I could not concentrate (...more than usual, y'know?), so I decided to go to bed and get up early in the morning to do it. But upon getting into bed, I felt nauseous. So after emptying a little of my stomach contents, I was delusional to believe that everything was fine. However, I awoke to my upset stomach again at 5.40am. So giving up on my assignment, I decided to skip PBL in the morning, and come in at 12.00 for lecture, swing and prac.

However, after waking up at 10.13 to my phone ringing, I decided to skip uni altogether as I was too tired and energyless to travel and that I'd do my assignment and go to swing dancing at night. Having a small bowl of congee for lunch, I sat down in front of my computer, only to feel dizzy and an upcoming headache (it's the bloody journal articles, I tell you! EVIL!!! EVIL!!!).

So anyway, I headed off to bed again, getting out of bed at 6.30pm. Had a slightly larger bowl of congee for dinner, while looking on in envy and slight queasiness as my family indulged in supermarket roast chicken....Finally got around to start my assignment at 10pm. Worked all night. As soon I finished, I had to come into uni to give a belated birthday present to a friend and hand my assignment in...

*sigh*

I was almost as lost as the dayI came in after my 7-hour-sleep-in-2-days day. I think my ankle gave way a total of 6 times. I fell down a few of college's stairs...walked around aimless, debating whether I should get something to eat because I was really hungry and risk throwing up on the train or whether to starve until I get home for more congee...I was really glad I chose the safe starving, I don't think throwing up on the train would be good for my already deflated daily dignity levels....
hmmm, need to thank him for being so worried about me...I was really out of it, wasn't I?

well, I really shouldn't ramble on. Should sleep to build up my energy levels, as I have work tomorrow.

A Slight Detour

Current Mood: Okay

Why must bad things always happen around exam time? Colds, fights with mum, computer breakdowns...

Well, I wasted today getting my damn computer fixed. I was seriously so scared I'd lose everything, mostly my music. Oh, and lecture recordings...

So yeah, fixing my computer and getting manicure took up my whole day.

Manicure? What manicure? Wasn't I suppose to study all day??? Well, the story:
I got called up at 11.30am, while I was still in the computer store. "Hey Mel, I got client day today, we're doing manicures. Are you free at 1.30?"

Who can resist a free, FREE, manicure? So off I went. I drove around the city for 20minutes till I found a 2hour parking spot nearing Monash Uni. It was a 25min tram ride and walk to the place, that left an hour to do the manicure, and half an hour to get back. Perfect, right. RIGHT????

Well, I've apparently forgotten that trainees take longer than professionals. And although it was a good job. It took friggin 2 HOURS! On my way back, I was praying so hard not to get a parking ticket....

*sigh*

Well, at least it was a free manicure - with a salt scrub, hand massage and paraffin wax.

Aside from the stressfulness of the situation, today cost me absolutely nothing. Yay!

Though, most of the manicure got damaged by the time I dug my car keys out from the bottom of my bag....sorry Juls!

Now, all I have to do is study!!!
