Mm. I think I'm actually happy despite all these stupid mid-term exams! God I hate that word, "mid-term exam". I've got one on Friday, one on next Tuesday and TWO (can you believe it?) on next Wednesday! It might very well be because of my new eating habits, but I'm actually looking forward to studying and passing some more tests and exams. Weird, isn't it? So unlike me. As I told you, I started - once again - eating only healthy stuff, haven't touched sodas in almost 4 days. Yep, it's true. I've ditched even diet coke because I read that all sodas make your body store extra fat around your stomach (plus your tongue starts looking weird from too much fizzy stuff).

I got one Christmas present early yesterday - KELA paid me my rent supports! Well FINALLY. I've been waiting for them for two effing months. Now I can buy some clothes (I've got my mind on a lovely pair of black skinny jeans - they'd look gorgeous with high heels) and get my nails done before I go to Finland. I'd grow my nails naturally but I'm sort of out of time. All that stress caused by exams and nutritionless junk that I was eating all autumn made my nails chip so badly that I had to cut them short. I almost cried when I did it. But that's what fake nails are for, right? Today I heard you can even get lasting fake eye-lashes done at a beauty salon! That's maybe a bit too much for me at this point, but it does sound fun. I admit that my eyes aren't all bad, my lashes are long - but they're far from being voluminous. Hm. Maybe I'll just buy a pair of fake lashes from H&M and ask Marina to help me put them on.

I did think about going to solarium too, you know, just to get a nice natural tan, sort of latte complexion if you know what I mean, but then I remembered that disowning thing à la dad and decided to do it when I return from Finland and my dad is definitely out of country. I don't like my complexion at all, during winters I'm pale as a ghost and my cheeks and nose get red so easily, i.e. I look horrible. Before you judge me, let me say that I don't want to be tacky baked brown, I just want to have a normal complexion instead of this milky-white-mixed-with-some-awful-shade-of-red thing.

Though I don't know if I have the guts to do it - V told me how she had watched Discovery and saw a documentary about some woman who had wanted to get a nice tan before her wedding, so the woman went to a solarium. She went there like 5 or 6 times A DAY, which is way too much. The next day she could sense this weird smell around her, like burning hair, and decided to go to a doctor. They discovered that her internal organs were damaged so badly by the solarium that she was practically cooking from inside. She died two days after that. So, yeah.. I'm not sure if I have the guts to do it.
