I got some beautiful orchids for my birthday from one of my mum's friends. This is they:
Now, i'm well aware that you aren't supposed to leave the cellophane birthday decoration around the pot but it just fuckin' pop's doesn't it? I absolutely love that fluro green with the purple and i'm a little worried that people who come into my house simply think i'm reallllly lazy.
Oh well, fuck the bitches.
Yes, today is a swearing day.
Last night the lovely Chloe and her bung knee came over. It was pretty bad, she was using a crutch the poor thing! She let me needle her, took some herbs and she's coming back over tonight. See, with acute injury it's pretty good to needle it daily.
Anyway, I totally forgot to take photos of it last night which is a shame cause even if I take them now - it totally ruins any before and after shots!
I'm pretty excited that i'm getting to the stage of my study/knowledge where if someone tells me their health complaints, I have some sort of idea of what could be the cause/problem and what i'd like to do about it. It's pretty exciting.
What's also exciting but a little terrifying is that this semester is almost over! Yip! It's exciting cause, hell yeah it's another 6 months off of my degree! Terrifying because that means exams and for some unknown reason i'm not stressing out of my mind.
You may say 'that's great though! It means you're confident and have a good understanding of the content'. But you'd be wrong, if you were saying that, very wrong indeed.
What it usually means is that i've succeeded so well in convincing myself that 'everything is fine' (usually said in a shrill internal voice, that as the semester goes on becomes external) that I am not prepared in anyway for the end of this semester.
I suppose I have handed in some assignments already, and gotten an oral presentation over with - so perhaps i'll surprise myself!
