How To Change Careers, According To 50 People Who Made A Pivot

So I have been up all night babysitting my drunk flatmate who wanted to cook and bake while drunk and I didn’t want to wake up to a fire so now that I’ve finally put him to bed, walked my other flatmate to work, cleaned the kitchen since said cooking shenanigans left it a mess, have started doing my laundry and am now so hyper on caffeine that I can already tell I’m gonna crash some time around mid day

What better way to start the day than a late morning panic attack. I wish I didn’t have classes this week since my exam is next week and I’m so fucking stressed over it because its meant to be a beginner language exam and yet the second year’s are saying this is harder than their exam this year . Like all the other languages have exams that are level appropriate and the Korean department just have the exam from hell.

So I was meeting a friend after I’d been for drinks at a wine bar in sanjou with a girlfriend. I wasn’t drunk or anything but we’d had about two bottles between us. So my other friend - let’s call him K - was coming to pick me up on his motorbike which is an american style so he was waiting for me outside a conbini.

So I’ve ridden bikes before so many times. So I make to sit on the back and the muffler on that bike was much higher up than any other I’ve ridden before. Me being a total clutz my bare leg got completely stuck to the burning hot exhaust pipe (after K had been doing over 100kmp/h just 5 minutes ago). I figured it was nothing so didn’t look at my leg for about ten minutes but then noticed my entire right leg was like shaking violently.

And then I saw the gross giant blister that was already there. Second degree burns woohoo!
This was three days ago and unfortunately I was scared to wash it or do anything for two days but yesterday I literally could walk anymore so I went to the dermatologist.

He said it should heal in two months and probably no scarring but pigmentation that will fade over time. Also there was some damage to minor veins in my leg so that’s why I can’t put any pressure on it (I.e walk properly) without severe pain. I want crutches for the first time in my life haha.

I would upload a picture but it’s too gross.

I doubt you guys wanna see that.

Anyway K has been helping me out- took me to the doctor/ brought me to yakiniku in a taxi (lol that made me feel better) / helping around the house. Unfortunately he’s going to Tokyo on Monday to continue his job hunting interviews but will be back by Tuesday.

Know your bike mufflers, kids!

wanted to share just as college results are coming out soon ~
