Therapy

Finally I'm able to have a breather in between everything. I have been so so busy the last week. I had a test to study for during the weekend and an assignment to finish. The test was one of my least favourite subjects...American Politics. Nevertheless, I can now heave a sigh of relief that it's done! But I don't know how I'll do though. The second part was pretty tough. I have another test to study for, Chemical Analysis this coming Thursday. After that, hopefully I can just sit down and chill for a while. Because of all my assignments and tests, I missed two Sunday night suppers of home cooked food! Sigh...nevermind, the next one is coming up in 2 weeks time and I'll be sure to keep my calender free on that day.

So far, my other classes are going pretty well. Iowa Environment is a pretty easy class, along with Information Systems 044 which is good because I can relax in class. Last week, I wrote about having a tough time with the Excel Project for my Environmental Decisionmaking class but I managed to finish it in the end. To my surprise, I got 19/20 for that assignment. My model was not as complex or as organized as my professor's but thankfully, I got it right!

Also, due to all the stress I've been facing, I've been going for therapy sessions once a week. My therapy? Shopping! I'm serious, it helps me relax and forget about all the work that I have piled in front of me. At times, I really miss my friends as well so the shopping helps. I know it is a very bad alternative and it shows on my bank account but I'm trying hard to keep it in check. The next time I go out, I shall take only $10 with me, enough to pay for the bus fare and for a meal. Talking about meals, I went to an Indian restaurant buffet lunch yesterday after church. It cost me $8.94 including tax and tip and student discount. Oh well, since I hardly ever eat out, maybe twice a week, I don't really mind spending money on food. It was a treat to be able to eat as authentic asian food as possible. I stuffed myself. :)
Next week might be a Chinese buffet lunch perhaps....we shall see...

I left most of my shoes in Malaysia and I hate not having a variety of shoes to choose from. So I bought these:


Very fashionable peep toe kitten heel pumps...$10.99 (OP $14.99)


Sneakers from American Eagle, a steal at only $9.95 (OP $29.95)


Boots from Maurice's, only $6.25 (OP $34)


Tweed ballet flats from JC Pennys....$4.99 (OP $20)

Lovely shoes! I told my mum that I bought tons of shoes. She did nag me of course but after hearing my explanation, she didn't have much left to say. I haven't worn any of them yet. Am keeping some until the weather gets milder so that I won't get frosbitten toes due to over exposure. ^_^
