Liberation, Sudden Riches and Mental Torture
Liberation
Today was the last day of lessons. FINALLY! This normally calls for major celebration, if not for the fact that exams are little over a week away and I am totally unprepared for them.

This liberation is very likely a faux liberation, since I will be bound to my books. Plus, if my IAP application was successful, then I will be whisked into internship 4 days after exams end. If the application was unsuccessful, then I will be eating air for quite sometime. Woe.
Sudden Riches
Received the cashback from my insurance company today. It's really foolish to treat it as bonus cash, since I pay a premium every month in exchange for it. But I can't help it. This extra cash makes me very happy. Very. Nevermind that this is theoretically my money to begin with. This cashback gives me an urge to want to go out and splurge, especially since Liberation has arrived.
The only thing stopping me is this annoying little voice at the back of my head telling me to save up for a rainy day, or for that graduation trip next year. Dammit. Wish that voice would just curl up and die.
Mental Torture
Kenneth Cole has branched out into watches. Spotted one fabulous looking one in Metro yesterday. It was placed with 2 other KC watches with leather straps, both priced at a reasonable $188. Therefore I stupidly assumed the last of the trio, this one, cost around the same. A steal really. I went back today and tried it on, but the price tag! Argh... almost twice as expensive as the leather version! Nearly kicked the counter in frustration. Metal is cheaper than leather right?! Right!? So why the drastic price difference? Grumble.
So, up to the games shop I went. Lo and behold. Jade Empire is out for XBox, retailing at the usual $70. KOTOR II was sitting on the pre-owned shelves, going for $40. I swear I ran out of the shop screaming.
Why'd I go in there if not to look for games? I don't know. I must have this sado-masochistic streak in me that likes mental torture. Now that I've received the cash back, this mental torture is amplified 500 times. I'm practically drowning in it.
Resist resist. What won't kill me will only make me stronger.
