I've kept my LJ for so long and coming across this clumsy story made me laugh out loud. I am a real klutz!

Clumsy (January 8th, 2008)
I tripped on top of the stairs last night and banged my left knee against the floor because it broke my fall. A few seconds after my fall I hugged my knee and was about to cry. I think I did cry because it got beat up pretty bad. Then I started to laugh because I remembered flying for a few nanoseconds. Haha!

Boo. Now it hurts to walk because when my body's weight is shifted on my left leg, the knee hurts. It's bruised and I think I should put cold compress on it so the purpleness will go away. At least it's not as purple as a plum or an eggplant. I thought it was going to look really bad but I think I'd prefer for it to look bad than to hurt bad.

...so if I don't update here, check Livejournal because I don't have the heart to kiss it goodbye.

Someone ought to make a psychosocial experiment on why people Twitter. Is there a logical explanation why people are attracted by the fact that they tell the world what they're doing? Others update like mad "Twitterers" giving a blow by blow account on what they're doing during the day. Sometimes I'm like that and I don't know why I like microblogging especially when I think about random things and I get the sudden urge to post on Twitter. It doesn't help that Twitter has cool apps that you can install on iphone/ipod touch-- it makes posting to Twitter very convenient and you can bring it anywhere even if you're too lazy to go to the computer!

Even celeberities are into it, news agencies, and even Obama has one! He doesn't update it himself, of course. Someone probably made it for him for his campaign purposes. But still! It's the Twitter Revolution that's taking up the netverse by storm.

And don't even get me started with Facebook! That's for another post!

case study jitters

My case study groupmates and I finished our manuscript a little early and had it bound all twenty copies of them for submission tomorrow. I'm actually happy we finished it early because I am a firm believer of Murphy's Law-- just when you need everything to run smoothly, anything that could go wrong WILL GO WRONG. So I've stopped being the last minute girl (except occasionally haha) because when you need the printer to print, it will screw up the moment you need it the most.

So I'm psyched and SCARED at the same time because I haven't seen the finished product of our blood-and-sweat labor. I'm scared to flip over the pages, go through it, and realize that we made mistakes. We don't have the chance to revise the manuscript so whatever was written in there will be scrutinized come case presentation/defense. I'm so scared but in a good way because I'm pretty sure this horrible ordeal will fly by and I can celebrate for one or two weeks of summer until I go back for intensive lecture for the rest of the summer holiday. I could complain, ramble endlessly about how it just kills the fun of summer to be in class eight hours a day everyday with clinicals in between but I'm actually happy about it because I need to FEEL PRODUCTIVE.

Also, I'm trying to see if I can juggle freelance writing. We'll see!
