nose damageWhile hurrying to a meeting today (and not in the moment; will I ever learn!?), I took a little bit of a tumble. After I went down and I was lying there on the sidewalk, I wondered how it was possible to skin my nose. Turns out, very possible, as you can see from the picture. Then, while I was struggling to get out from under my backpack, a guy named Skip picked me up. Before I looked in the mirror, I had a guess as to how bad the damage was because he asked me if I wanted a band-aid. Then, in other news, my ankle is a little swollen and my good shoes are scuffed up some, which is irritating. But, overall, I’m ok–just feeling a little clumsy.

In other news, I dropped my French class and added a Photoshop and Illustrator course (each 1 credit, 1 weekend courses). I really want to learn French, but now is not the time. I have lots to get done this semester and this small act of kindness towards myself should help take some of the pressure off.
