I hate group work!

Arghhh…I wish this rotation would just kill me (…and then I could be magically resurrected after it’s all done)! Just finished my Oncology rotation and I’m about to start the massive pain in the arse Research rotation. I’ve always found myself to have a rather non-research brain but unfortunately in the world of medicine…that is something which I

I felt compelled to do a google images search on 'dirty looking rash' after reading this. Don't.

I really hope you get your test results soon and am hoping that it is the less bad of the two options you have laid out (or alternately, something that you haven't thought of which is better than your perceived options

I guess I wear makeup both to fine-tune my appearance (though it's more like taking one of those chisels or wood-planes to my face because I do what I can to change the shape of my face and features with my makeup... Everyone says it and usually they're lying, but I look very different without makeup, to the point where people have either not recognised me, or recognised me and told me I looked sick when I wasn't wearing any) and to project an image to others... The way I'd like them to think of me. I'd like people to think of me as a pretty little retro-inspired girl with a penchant for bold colours and quirky hairpieces. I want to be perceived as a nice but polished person who always puts in an effort. I am not and have never been one of those "effortlessly stylish" people if you know what I mean, so the minimal-effort thing doesn't work for me.

I like the name of this boat...but it's more of a ship I'd think though...still the Boat of Fierce does have a certain ring to it =D

Yeah, if I don't wear my requisite makeup...I freak out thinking that people are looking at the things I don't want them to see...namely the unsightly festering sores on my face. Just kidding...
But definitely...makeup is amazing...and I blame social conditioning entirely for the fact that we feel the need and feel a pleasure in dabbling the alteration and emphasis of our facial features. It's always society's fault.

I don't think Cultural Studies is wanky...I think it's very interesting and am envious that you get to study something so interesting!
