And no shopping downtown this Friday.
But still a post anyway.
It has been some sort of a week.
Got my hardware project report ready on Monday morning after pulling an almost all-nighter. Napped for 3 hrs and then got myself ready to go to my alma-mater's reception downtown (it's one-lot-of-PR considering they came all the way from China). Yes I'm 6' tall and was on 4.5 inch stilettos (Boutique 9 suede booties from Bloomies, sale score!) that night, white sequin top, black patent belt, black ruffle skirt --- all from White House Black Market.
It's easy to find out where I was in the pic.: judging from the height. Yes the guys are not on National Basketball League but they are decently tall.
And this is really a very very very bad shot: for all of us except our president standing in the middle! Guess he's the only one in focus, and the rest of us all have to put up with some sort of awkward god-knows-what-turned-out-every-once-in-a-while picture thing. Well but the reunion is the idea. Yes everybody in the pic are either Ph.D's or Ph.D-to-be's: but really we do not look nerdy, in real life!
And I did not realize earlier but my top seemed a size too large: I got the XS last year;it fit well then when I tried it on, but I never got a chance to wear it until this Monday. Does it mean I've managed to lose a few pounds? Hopefully!
No Anthro sales on Tuesday. Worked on some final changes to my project report through the day and stayed up till 2am and hurray! New sale items!
Bought the chalk and charcoal skirt: love the print and the name; it reminds me of the Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder classic "Ebony and Ivory".
And picked up a pair of tights (Hue tights are the best: size M fits me perfectly~back in China I could never find tights long enough for me, or pants either), a metal cuff and a belt.
And then I stood up. I'll skip the details of what happened in the next 10 min. but for 5 min. I was really scared though I do not panic and 10 min. later I was in the hospital ER.
And I was there for the next 4 hrs (except for the 20min in between that I finally managed to persuade the head nurse and the on-duty officer to send me back to my office to get a book to read: that was a very wise move). It turned out to be a partially-funny-partially-embarrasing-nothing-life-threatening experience after all, but I did need a good rest and spent about 24 hrs in the past 2 days sleeping:)
Received a package from Dillard's last night: my first purchase there, a dress from ABS by Allen Schwartz. At 70% off the price is unbeatable. The xs fits quite well though fairly large in the waist: but I guess it was part of the design after all?
Finished the last episode of The West Wing tonight. A great show.
Gotta watch JAG after this.
Found a few items on Anthro that got further marked down: picked up a silk tunic and a belt. Free shipping is the best.
Handed in my final particle physics homework set: not perfectly done as I worked on it during the past two days, and I wasn't really at my best during the past two days.
One more week of the quarter left (more like 5.5 days): got 2 more project papers, 2 presentations and a poster session.
It would be a lot of fun.
