I SURVIVED!!!
Firstly: whoa! LJ changed so much since I last came! I kinda like the entry editor better now. ;)
*bursts into a banana dance* YAAAAYYY!!! Holidays! (I'm actually almost 2 weeks into my holidays now. Whoops. :P) This semester was a really trying one. There was a stretch where I slept an average of 4 hours nightly for 2 weeks, including weekends! I told myself I'll never do that again. o_o I could barely function. I made so many mistakes in my research work (for my final year project) during that time, couldn't memorise my script for my design project oral presentation (I managed to drill it into my head on the day itself, phew) and just kept crying over the smallest things possible. I would cry while walking home. Or when my mentor (a research assistant under my professor) helps me with some of my work even though she is also buried under her own, I got so touched I started crying. O_O I just feel so overwhelmed all the time and every little thing seemed to be able to tip me over. Well, I can't complain, since I chose to overload. :P
Anyway, I went for lasik straight after my exams, haha! :D :D :D Which makes it tiring for me to work at my computer for long hours, but nothing can beat not having to wear spectacles or contact lenses! ^^ (Even after 14 years of wearing spectacles, they still occasionally make the sides of my head ache and break the skin on my nose bridge.) I sometimes try to "remove my specs" before I go to bed, though. XD The power of habits, hahaha.
I also drew a rather ugly version of Kismette (sigh). I don't know, something just isn't right. :X Perhaps the shadows aren't dark enough? Oh well, I'm not sure how to proceed from here anymore, so I might as well show you guys for some pointers:
Well, what have you guys been up to? Update me please? :D
