Sometimes you just aren't ready to face the world, or anyone in it - aside from close friends and family who are the best, because they never judge you and love you unconditionally.
This term has been rather rough on my skin. My usually clear skin that I've had since starting uni has started to break out in the last few months, and it's horrible. Slowly getting better, and as I have learned, make up can be a girl's best friend. :)
And so, one morning this long weekend, I decided to hit the gym and pool, as I have been a bit swamped with work and lazy at the same time. Gradball is coming up, and a little more time at the gym couldn't hurt. I was going to head off for some all-you-can-eat sushi afterwards with my girls, and so I brought my clothes, makeup and everything. However, I basically just put on some jeans and ran out the door to hit the gym. Hair is tangled and messy, face is ... blah, glasses - I basically look like I just woke up (the truth). And then I run into people. People I know. People who I'd rather not see me like this. All of a sudden I feel very self conscience and almost naked. The usual vibrant conversationalist and witty catherine (note the sarcasm) is suddenly speechless and wishes the ground will just open up from beneath and swallow her up (just temporarily of course). I hate it when that happens!
Note to self: IF I leave the house looking like I just got out of bed, wear a hat and big sunglasses. It's what celebrities do. :)
