A Trafficker in Climaxes

A Valentines Day mixtape for you guys here. It consists mostly of the songs in my boyfriend’s birthday mixtape which I got for him last Sunday, but anyway, they suit a livelier and more love-filled Valentines Day too! No more lonely February songs!

The last few days have been crazy and hectic. My thesis was due for a presentation last Friday and it was insane. I lost a lot of sleep, got sick and almost peed my pants due to nerves that simply won’t calm down but it was well worth it. I think it’s safe to say that my first presentation was a success. I managed to meet the requirements and impress my adviser. I was stoked/scared/fierce and promised myself to go apeshit on the celebration I was planning after but I felt too tired to go out and party.  It’s like all the adrenaline rushing  throughout the day came crashing back down. I barely even had the energy to go out for some  pizza.

My mother was supportive all throughout the preparations. She even got me this corporate-looking suit which was unnecessary but I still wore it for the lulz. After a quick nap, my boyfriend successfully dragged me out for some pizza and I capped the night with an hour of back massage. I must have snored but that’s okay. :P

Lest you think my thesis and future are sealed, they aren’t. This is the calm before the storm. I have another presentation in two weeks and it’s Me vs SugarCRM-Moodle-Data Mining-Artificial Intelligence all over again. Wish me luck! I need it!
