I broke my finger this morning, to my surprise. Started seriously hurting about two hours ago, now I'm out from ward with that one finger placed in some fixture. It's just pathetic how that happened. I can play basketball, volleyball, handball and whatever you can think of and never had so much as a bruise that did not fade away in two days. Car accident from a few years ago? Got some stitches and had to have part of my back bandaged for few weeks. Strengthening wooden bed frame with a rubber hammer? Now that's something where I'm in danger, apparently. What's weird is the fact that it was perfectly OK most of the day and suddenly in the span of few minutes went all purple and caused quite some pain. Other than that, I'm almost done with exams. I might even get additional stipend considering how it went. GPA is at 4.93 on maths and 4.97 on physics, so that's cool. As a side note, we have following grades in Polish universities: 2.0 - failed 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, 5.0 - normal pass 5.5 - exceptional / best n people per course, depends on lecturer's and faculty criteria. Some people and even whole universities don't use this grade.
See, I don't really get (or got, until now) injured in a way that lasts more than a few days. The problem here is the fact that I had quite a lot of traumas including but not limited to: -mentioned car accident where most impact went on my right clavicle and shoulderblade -2nd degree burn on 15% of my outer thigh from campfire going very poorly -falling from a bike and plummeting down the steep hill for ten meters before stopping on a pail of scrap -countless little injuries resulting from my active sports life (soccer + mentioned above) and the only thing that actually injured me so far in a way that prohibits me from doing anything for more than few days is… rubber hammer. That's like being able to survive Vietcong ambush unscathed only to be sent to hospital because you have put a really sharp pencil in your back pocket and sat on it :/. Just to make it clear: I don't think of myself as impervious to anything. It's just annoying me on some level that of all stuff that happened to me this is the most lasting.
