Now, being both a Master student and a university instructor, I'm experiencing twice the hell. (I can't even call it hell WEEK because it's been going on for months already!) And don't even get me started with research project deadlines.
In other words, things have been totally crazy. I haven't had time to relax, to get a pedicure, etc.

4. New Grendha sandals. Parents' gift for me.
