Ouch. Three weeks.

You'd be forgiven for thinking I'd fallen off the face of the planet, but I've just been painfully swamped with final exams. Tears. A friend of mine told me to "take the bull by its horns and ace Finals", but I think the bull just gored me up the arse instead... just so you know.

Even if I am on holidays (for a whole month, no less!), the next few weeks will be chock full of business for me. I'm in the process of applying for jobs and all that fun stuff, preparing for a week-long clinical placement at a rural hospital 2 hours away (which means commuting at 5am and getting home at about 8pm. Joyous.), regaining a sense of direction in life, and trying not to come out the other end a disheveled wreck.

I need a Kit Kat.

More thoughts:

• I just bought this online. No idea how I'm going to wear it out without looking like a sex worker, but the challenge excites me more than it should.
• Mid-year sales are on again... and I have exactly $7.20 in my wallet. I want to cry. My tears want to cry. So, in light of really needing a job right now, I'm considering becoming a stripper. Or making money like a stripper without the actual stripping part. But I might be able to negotiate the terms considering I am that pressed to survive right now. KIDDING.
• Midnight coffee runs are so wonderful.
• Looking at the current state of my room makes me anxious. I'd vacuum the floor except my vacuum cleaner is as reliable as clockwork. It only works when it chooses to (i.e. 0.05% of the time), so I think it's time I invested in a new vacuum cleaner... except I can't. See: point number two.

I'm pretty behind as far as event coverage goes, so I suppose I'll just make my way through my memory card. Here are the photos from Khanh's birthday where we went paintballing (hence the excruciatingly lame blog title).

And let me just say... it hurt like a muthafucka.

Don't get your game on if you have the pain threshold of a five-year-old. I think I nearly cried at one point, but I told everyone my eyes naturally glistened in the sun. They bought it.

By the way... I'm in the market for a good and economical mascara that holds curl particularly well. I've been using Maybelline's Define-A-Lash for some time now - but it does absolutely nothing for me! So, hey, I'm open to suggestions!
