Stupid girl

One of my definite downfalls is vanity, which was proved once again today. I wore a skirt and since my legs are rather short when compared to my back, skirts look better if I wear high heels. So I put on the boots I bought in England that have a heel of ca 8 cm (could be 10 cm, I have never measured them).

So I leave the apartment at 9:30 am, comfortable and feeling all pleased with my outfit. I have no trouble walking with high heels... except when I'm spending almost 6 hours on them! That's right, I got back around 3:30 pm, having spent the last kilometre to my apartment in numb agony. Numb because by that time my soles had been subjected to walking on asphalt for hours in boots that are not made for such "excursions".

And does this experience make me swear off high heeled shoes for life? Not a chance - its predecessors didn't either. I totally blame this on the fact we cannot simulate pain from our memories. If I could recall exactly what shockwave ravaged soles feel like, I doubt I'd go through these small tortures again. However, we can't simulate pain and I doubt I'll get rid of my vain side. It's a repeat cycle.

Peculiarly the lower back pain I get from walking long distances in regular shoes did not manifest. So I have a vain back and sensible feet. Goodie.

But all of this suffering was not in vain for I now have a dress for my sister's wedding ^^ I still need the stuff to complete my outfit... like shoes... but now that I have the dress I can take my time searching for the rest.

I also stopped by at the university and saw some of my friends :) This week is tutoring week so there isn't much going on yet but next week the semester kick-starts for real. Looking forward to it!
