Exfoliating is Good for the Soul

I'm exfoliating right now. With the stress of my exams, my skin decided to break out, which it never does, so I am really annoyed by that. I have this silly mask on my face and it feels tingly, and my face is beginning to get tight, too. I even got some of those Biore Pore Strips today and used one. You know, the ones that stick to your nose and pull out all the black heads? I hoping for a bunch of nasty stuff to be pulled out when I pulled it off, but nothing came out! Then I realized I don't really have any blackheads that need pulling out lol. It's those little bumps across my forehead and then I have this angry red pimple on my chin that is not really anything to look at, but I can feel it hurting underneath my skin and building! Ugh it's so annoying! I cleaned all my makeup brushes today even though I did it two days ago, cleaned my pillowcases, even though they didn't really need it, and I am going to use a new washcloth every day to clean my face until this acne goes away!

My liquid fast was going so well today, and then one of my friends came over to chat and brought these cheese straw-cracker things with her for us to munch on. I need to get over this "being polite" thing, because I felt so rude telling her I didn't want any, so I ate two. I know two is not horrible at all, but it is the principle of the thing; I was not going to eat any food this whole weekend, and I broke that today. I was so disappointed, especially since everything had been going so well :( I didn't eat anything else all day, but it wasn't like I could take back those two crackers.

On a good note, I have come up with a way to liquid fast tomorrow and make up for not completing today's fast. I do have my summer class starting tomorrow, but I need to go to the post office during lunch to mail something, so I won't have to be around any of my friends during our break for lunch! Yay, this is going to work! That makes me feel a little bit better about my screw-up today.

I have to go to the post office because I am mailing in a ticket voucher/airline miles to United Airlines that is my dad's and he is letting me use. I am going to Atlanta this summer for a few days at the beginning of August for a veterinary conference. I am really excited! I've never been to Atlanta :) And it is free for students, my plane ticket is free since I am using my dad's voucher/miles thingy, and my hotel room is paid for by the school. Stoked!! Food is paid for as well, but obviously I am going to stay as far away from that as I can ;)

I am MEGA hungry right now, probably because those cheese straw crackers reminded my stomach that it existed, but I am going to drink some water and go to bed.

Love you, Skinnies!
