The good with the bad...

[thescarletwoman]

Fair warning, I will not be around much the next few days because I am the most brilliant person in the world. Helping my mother at the costume shop, I managed to cut through the tip of my finger while cutting out vinyl. When the scissors say they're razor sharp... they mean they're razor sharp.

I swear, Tonks has nothing on me as far as klutziness goes.

Worst thing? It's my ring finger on my left hand. The hand I need to play the violin. Yeah, not going to be doing a lot of playing for the next week. Finger is still sore and it hurts like a bitch to type on, so until it feels better, I may not be around so much for IMing. Mostly because I need my finger to heal well so I don't have any problems later on down the line.

However, for the good news?

I AM DONE WITH MY THESIS!!!!!!!

Or, rather, Baldwin-Wallace has gotten off their dead asses and finally given me a grade. I'm getting a C on it, and frankly, I don't care. Eleven months after I graduate, I'll finally have my degrees.

Couldn't have come... oh... a month earlier when I would have needed it for grad school and so that I wouldn't have been rejected, but c'est la vie, eh?

All that matters is that it's done and I couldn't be happier.

starshine_rain6, we'll really have to celebrate when you come up, eh? XD

Hooray for thesis! :D That's exciting. And yeah, eleven months is a bit extreme. O.O Crazyness.

Dude. I did something really similar to my left middle finger when I was playing bass in a band. Ouch. >:/

Congrats to the thesis and finally having the "offical" degree. I know that must be a big relief. Now you just have to consider how to improve your approach for the next round of grad school applications. :)

*cringes* Hand injuries are the worst, in my book.

My left index finger is scarred up and about a quarter again wider than it should be, partially double-jointed... it got smushed when I was a kid. DX And the scar is supersensitive, which means I can't stand to have anyone touch it or anything except perhaps the side of my middle finger which doesn't really touch it directly anyway.

And I never lay it flat on things because the knuckle (first one away from the hand itself) on the bottom is very very very close to the skin and feels weird.

Uh. Oh, and I once slit the tip of that same goddamn finger open with an x-acto knife. x_x

So yeah, eek. Just lemme know if I pester too much while it's healing <333 I won't take offense!

So sorry about the finger though. Ouch... I have done that but to the webbing between my thumb and pointer finger... THAT HURTS!!!

Here's to a quick recovery and no more injuries.
