No more braids!

It was so cold last night that I had to wake up in the middle of the night to wear a jacket and long pants. Winter is approaching..

No more braids. I decided to remove it. It’s so hard to maintain it. Washing it is a problem and sometimes my scalp gets all itchy.

Exactly 1 week of going through this troublesome chorus, I removed it today. In order to remove it, I had to cut out the threads that tie my braids together. It took me less than 10 minutes to remove it.

However, my hair was frizzy after that. I tried straightening it by combing it but it didn’t work but instead a lot of my hair fell off. I wanted to take a picture my hair in a frizzy state but I thought of washing it before taking a photo. Unfortunately, after washing it with shampoo, my hair turned straight again and even straighter than before.

Note to myself, the braids were hard to maintain but yet good and I never regretted making it.

I fucked up my Japanese exam. Fucking hell. It was just too hard. The katagana shits are making no sense. They were supposed to be a direct translation from English but yet they didn’t sound like English at all. Who the fuck knows that ‘sutsupagutsu; is spaghetti. Damn, this shit cost 5% of my grades.

Mum called me just now. She reminded me of how lucky I am. I should be grateful that I’m still studying. Many people at my age don’t have the privilege to study overseas like me. I guess the best thing for me to do is stop complaining how bore my life is and cherish every moment I have now.

The university finally returned our caution fees back. Last year, I paid 60 pounds for the caution fee (something like deposit) and the hall has the right to reduce the money if there were any damage caused by our negligence. Bloody hell, all I got today was just 27 pounds, what a way to start the week!
