Bruised and battered.

Yes, I suppose I am indeed bruised and battered, both physically and mentally.

 

I had breakfast with yl at YIH yesterday. I thought it had been some time since I last had egg and toast with yl so I met her there in the hope of enjoying a great breakfast before studying for my exam. Before I was about to feast on my half-boiled eggs, I decided to wash my hands first. And so I entered the foodcourt to use the tap. When I was walking out of the foodcourt after I was done, God knows what happened, the automatic glass door did not slide open and there, it ran over my foot. Goodness gracious, it. was. painful. I decided to ignore the pain but discovered that it was bleeding pretty badly after I was done with my meal. Being the timid person I have always been, I refused to go to UHC to have it handled and went to study instead. Frankly, it was so painful that I was on the brink of tears, but because I thought yl was likely to cry along with me if I did so I held back. Eventually yl still went to UHC with me at 4 p.m. and the doctor gave me an extra tetanus booster on top of bandaging my wound -.- How could I have managed the pain if not for yl's company?

 

So anyway, I got my assignment back and I received quite a satisfactory grade. But I did not feel exceptionally happy about it because I didn't think I was awarded the grade deservingly. Of course, the amount of effort I put in for the work wasn't negligible. In fact, it was the first time I had managed to complete such long essay within a span of two days and which included burning the midnight oil, something I never did for the past three or four years. It's just that I felt my work wasn't indepth enough and lacked necessary frameworks. But of course I know I shouldn't read too much into this. Okay, period.

 

Today's paper is the last examination I have to sit for in university (unless there are unforeseen circumstances next semester). I was both surprised and excited to know that LL was the chief examiner :D (He smiled at me at the end of the paper!)

 

And of course, today's paper marked the end of this semester. Somehow this semester has been a rather difficult one for me. But I realised, some friends will always be there to help me pull through. While some things seem so vulnerable, some others are actually so strong. You know what I mean. I know that when certain damage is done, the action can be irreversible. And so I shouldn't try so hard anymore, regardless of how much I value the something I used to hold so dear to me.

 

I'm just going to fly away from this place and enjoy myself for a good one week or two.
