It's that time of the year again.

When I have to buckle down for a few weeks to revise for final exams. Can't believe that when I think about it, these 2 exams will be the last exams EVER for the rest of my life. Rejoice.

Had the opportunity to experience a Thai massage today with the boyf. He's been having backpain at work so he chose to do a deep tissue massage whereas I chose the traditional Thai massage. Don't know what that meant as when I went in the room and the woman came in and then she said she'd give me a "Chinese" massage LOL. What's so Thai about a Chinese massage?? Was relaxing nonetheless but my back muscles are feeling so sore at the moment, the same feeling you get when you exercise and the next day you really feel it down to every last muscle. Apparently my spine is bent because I keep sitting on one ass cheek - how does one even sit on one ass cheek I have no idea. She massaged my bum as well which was weird haha, anyway, the point is that she really pummelled my back into shape and now it hurts to stretch. First Thai massage experience - check. Dunno if I would want to go back though as it was pretty pricey for 30 minutes.

I have actually developed an addiction for Dairy Milk Giant Buttons. Bought them when they were £1 each bag at Tesco and they're STILL £1 per bag so I picked another one up today. Will be so good for revision. I tend to snack a lot when I revise but I don't seem to gain weight as I probably do the unhealthy substitution of snacks for decent meals. Sigh. I weighed myself this morning despite my recent over-snacking on crisps, chocolate and ice cream and I still weigh the same as before - by before I mean my normal 54kg, my lowest has been 52kg but I really didn't like that. I could see my damn ribcage. Yay for snacking and no weight gain I guess??? My boyfriend was disappointed to see I hadn't really gained weight - he was really expecting me to be fattened up since I kept telling him everytime I was snacking on chocolate and ice cream. I hate it when he teases me :( he's so mean.

My eye has been healing veeeery slowly. I actually have a HUGE rant to make right now about what happened on Tuesday. This optician I had decided that the healing process was too slow so she sent me all the way to Western Eye Hospital in Marylebone during the tube strike (took me 2 hours to get there by bus) to see a doctor. I should've known but there was a 2 hour wait to see a NURSE and then after I saw the nurse there was a 3 hour wait to see the doctor. Facepalm. I guess you can imagine how long I was in A&E for - 6 hours, yes, 6 hours I sat in that bloody waiting room whilst people were getting seen before me because that place sees people according to severity rather than what time you arrived. Never again. I came back to rant to my parents about how retarded that whole day was and I was even sitting there thinking why was I here? The optician I saw first said that it would take about a month to heal - this different retarded optician I had the next day decided that there wasn't enough improvement in the space of 3 days so she sends me to A&E and wasted 6 hours of my life. She even called me the next day to ask about it and then I ask her when do I come back for a check up and you know what she says? "Go back to the hospital for a check up" in my head I was like "is this woman MAD?" so I told her there was no way I was going back there as I had to wait 4 hours to be seen by a doctor. She tried to get me to go back to them for a check up on Friday (today) but I just straight up said to her look, there probably won't be any improvement until a week later so why are you asking me to see you 3 days later AGAIN? So she can send me to the hospital because the healing is slow??? I swear, this woman really has no idea what she's doing. Managed to persuade her to see me a week later so I have an appointment booked for next Tuesday instead. Crazy woman. I understand she wants me to be alert about this problem and she wants to "closely monitor" it but does she even know how crazy long the wait times are at A&E? Does she even know how far away the damn hospital is? Oh and you know what she suggested to me when I told her the tube strike was on on Tuesday? "Take a taxi" my god, she really thinks I'm Jesus that can perform miracles and create money to take a taxi into central London out of thin air. Or she thinks I'm filthy rich - but then again, if I was, I wouldn't be living in Hounslow. I wouldn't be having her as my optician either.

Rant ended. Basically, there's no way she's making me go back to that hospital unless my eye is actually going blind or falling out or she offers to pay for my damn taxi. There's another tube strike next Tuesday as well so good luck to her if she thinks she can send me to Western Eye Hospital again.

As you can see, I've had an eventful week. I actually came back home that day around midnight and REVISED. Yes, I had revision planned for that whole day but because she sent me on some pointless trip that was the most non-urgent emergency ever, I had to revise till about 4am before I could sleep.

Ok, now my rant has ended. Have a wonderful weekend guys!
