Next chapter

Well, I passed.

And now my upper arm aches. I got four shots of vaccines today and bought almost 200 dollars worth of anti-malaria pills. Sounds like this Philippines trip is coming up pretty fast, right?

But first to Iceland. Tomorrow, to be precise. It'll be interesting to see my dear old Iceland totally saturated with winter rains.

And in case you wondered, the exam was really really REALLY hard. I thought for a while they weren't going to pass me. It was over three hours of relentless probing and prodding and debate. My brain was so fried at the end that I could hardly say my own name. But it was immensely useful and I'm very glad that I'm done.

Then, after work today, I realized that today was the first day that I felt entitled to be in grad school.

If I were a millionaire...

... I'd do something about this. It's so sad.

The massage

Just so I won't forget, I'm telling you guys that I have an appointment for a massage at 4:15 pm next Tuesday. Gee, I'm looking forward to that. What untamed luxury!

9 in your sleep

Again I'm having such vivid dreams that I almost wake myself up. Especially when I start talking in my sleep, which I think I have been doing lately. Poor Shan :)

Every day now brings the dreaded A-exam closer. Omg. All hail to Damien Rice for helping me through these difficult times.
