I survived with casualties...

YES! I survived my 5th year and 1st semester in College with high spirits, but dampened by minor casualties. Allow me to enumerate the number of small injuries I've managed to sustain at this short period of time:

1. RED EYE
I'll start with the most visible injury I've managed to acquire. In my quest to try to be more economical I printed the notes, that my teachers sent via email, in very small font sizes. I was able to save at least 3 additional bondpapers which I may have had to use had I printed using larger script. However, after studying the material for hours for that subject's exam, I woke up the following day with my right eye sporting super red eye veins... =s

2. WOUNDS AT THE BACK OF MY FEET
I went shoe shopping sometime along the first semester because I was looking for a nice pair of black flats. I found a gorgeous pair in Ayala, which I excitedly bought (or had my sister buy for me =D ). That night, I had a birthday dinner to go out to. So excited-new-shoes-girl that I was, I abandoned my older pair of white flats and happily put on my new purchases!
That night, we ended up walking for hours around Ayala, undecided where to eat. And afterwards, walked around again, undecided where to hang out. We eventually hung out shooting hoops in Timezone, where we won three stuffed bears by the way. But by the time we finally decided to go home, it took every ounce of strength in me to finally TAKE OFF THE PAINFUL SHOES! I ended up putting band-aid over both wounds for weeks, since it hurt even when I wore other shoes. It doesn't hurt now...And I can wear my new black flats without pain...
But the scars, (sigh) remain...

3. CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME
Ironic as to how I could attain an ergonomic-related injury, when my thesis, which I have been living and breathing in morning-noon and night, is all about ERGONOMICS!=D
But it's true, my right hand is suffering from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, due to unergonomic laptop use. It's not that annoying anymore though, so I'm hoping it will heal through the semestral break.

4. HEAVY MIGRAINES
... which means I have to visit my eye doctor very very soooonnnn.....

5. I'm actually doing a visible eye check on myself, and I can't seem to see and think of any other injury that I may have acquired. (Unless you count this growing pimple on my chin that may largely be due to stress..) =D Till then, let;s hope I make it out of the second semster ALIVE :)
