Manicures and survival equations!

Manicures and survival equations!

Yesterday, I finally got my free manicure. Being the kind friend that I am, I voluntered myself as a guinea pig for Clareen to practice her skills as a manicurist. The colour was a lovely, glimmering peachy pink nail polish from Skin Food. Needless to say, I went home with a lovely set of nails.

Anyway, the point of the previous paragraph was to promote Clareen's manicuring skills. There will be a manicure booth set up next Wednesday (18th October 2006) during HELP's A-Levels Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign. Customers will be charged a small and reasonable fee for a lovely manicure. Proceeds will go to a charity for breast cancer. And there will be many lovely shades of pink for you girls and guys to pick from. So do come by our booth for a manicure and you'll go home with a sparkling set of nails that will be "oohed" and "aahed" over by your envious friends who missed such a good deal!

All right, advertisement and promotion time over!

I was nodding off during econs class yesterday when Clareen decided to paint my nails during the break. She gave me a buffer to buff my nails to stop me from falling asleep for the rest of the lesson.

For those who can't believe that I would actually do something so girly, I REALLY did buff my way through the last 45 minutes of economics class (blushes red with mortification). And to ensure that I can't lie and deny vehemently that I was a willing party to such an event, Clareen sneakily took a picture of me buffing my nails with a contented look on my face.

I woke up today feeling like my body got mangled while I was sleeping. My head was pounding as though some gung-ho drummer was using the inside of my skull as his drumset. Even the light of the bathroom made me wince and groan in agony. To my horror, my voice just wouldn't function when I tried to speak.

My first thought was, "Damn, Wai Ee's going to have a field day paying me back for insulting her when she lost her voice."

Good thing I manage to force my voicebox into functioning by the time I reached college. =p
Though my voice is now low and husky like its been scraped against sandpaper.

Luckily, my econs class got cancelled so I went home and immediately plopped on to my lovely comfy bed for some horizontal exercise before my headache could get worse.

Now that I'm awake, I wish I was back in dreamland. Thinking about the humongous pile of undone homework is starting to make my head pound again.


They don't teach you this in Math class, but its one of the equations you need to know to survive college life. And no, its not something like y = mx + c. Heck, you don't need to know linear equations to survive college!

College survival equation :
Procrastination of homework + sleeping late + lack of water intake = mountains of homework + headache + high percentage of getting sick.

Tsk, tsk, tsk...and they expect students to survive college without teaching them such an equation!
