My birthday and a burn
It was my birthday yesterday. It didn’t really feel like a birthday because of all the studying I had to do, but my sister had threw a surprise birthday party for me on the 25th, where I was actually surprised and was really happy because many of my friends did surprise me there.
But a quick update before I head off the chem class: today in the morning, I burned my hand. It was so stupid. I was going to get some boiling water to make tea and instead of sticking the cup under the faucet, I stuck my hand there instead because I thought this handle was the faucet. Of course, when I pulled the handle, the boiling water went on my hand instead.
It looks to be a first-degree burn except it hurts a lot. I just hope it will heal some before the exams on Friday. I will continue to pour cold water on it and hopefully it will be all right. It looks pretty nasty when a hunk of my skin swollen red–not too swollen, but it is definitely higher than the rest of my skin.
Good thing I did not get blisters. I have burned myself three times within the past two years. Maybe my skin has become tough.
