special sem finally came to an end last week. while i have been looking forward to it (because it means i can get some proper rest at last instead of studying for weekly quizzes and mugging like there's no tomorrow for the finals), once the exam was over i pretty much knew that the hols wasn't going to be quite as ideal as i'd envisioned.

why, you might ask?

for the very simple reason that my clumsy tendencies decided to kick in on the morning of the exam, which resulted in a fall down the last few steps of a flight of stairs. Not enough to cause major damage, but enough to cause a badly sprained ankle and a few slightly strained muscles. didn't really hurt at first which may have been due to the shock, but the pain kicked in towards the end of the exam, along with a trusty sidekick known as swelling. Cue a trip to the chinese physician and you get me with a bandaged ankle. for 2 days at least. after that, it was goodbye bandage, hello, big foot!

the only lucky thing is that it's recovering pretty quickly despite the fact that it was a pretty bad fall. BUT i'm still wearing an ankle guard though and the swelling isn't completely down yet, especially if i walk too much. which means i'm going to have problems with my activities in the hols *cough*GSS*cough*.

in other news, other unexpected things have occurred since then which have also affected the start of my hols. and no, not in a good way. so basically this pretty much looks like one of the worst starts to the hols that i've had in quite a while. let's hope that luck is taking the 先苦后甜 approach so that it's only the start that's bad.

i can hope, can't i? haha.
