I love doing the OHs nails

Just sent the OH what can only be called a love letter via email. Just a mail talking about our hopes and dreams and how we can achieve them, he's not feeling great at the moment, so I'm hoping he will enjoy reading it

So tired. O_o
Looking forward to a lovely lovely sleep in tomorrow morning. I won't have to get up till around 9! The excitement.

It's much colder this morning than it has been, I don't know if it's me cos I'm tired or if it's actually colder!

That's not too bad, lots of time to get everything done. After the two tomorrow I just have one the following Saturday, which is grand because I haven't started that topic yet :pac:

I was a little worried about today's one, but word on the street is that the lecturer doesn't deviate from the sample paper, which I looked at and it seems okay. Gotta love lazy lecturers :P

That saved me in 2nd year stats
Didn't do a jot all year, new course, sample paper, learned it off night before exam, bam!

And then I wonder why I have problems with ct3 :pac:

Good luck, exam people! :cool:

Morning all. It's friday. I'm going to next today. I have afternoon tea tomorrow with someone and need to decide what to wear that's pretty. Also we may be going to the dog rescue place to see if the doggy they had on their page is still there and gets along with osky...

Warning: More typical MCR idiocy and complicated-ness ahead.

So, like every morning, I got a lift to the train station to make the quarter past train. As I walked up to the barriers I realised that my purse wasn't in my bag so I had to walk the 15 min walk back to the house, find my purse, and get back to the train station. I watched the half train drive away so I have to wait til the 9.08 train meaning that I prob won't get into work til 9.45/10.00 making me an hour late - not a good impression to make. To add to that all I think I may be getting shin splints so I was nearly in tears between the stress and the pain and my walking was far too slow.

And I haven't even got a chance to deal with those work issues yet!
EDIT: I called them. They're going to get back to me, like they said they would two days ago...
This is for training that they want me to do tomorrow ffs. We were told that we had already done it and now we're being told that we have to do it again with barely any notice.

*pats MCR on the back* There, there

I'm planning my outfit for the post-exams night out. So much for last minute cramming.

Anyone know a good and cheap hairdresser in the centre of Dublin for a wash cut and blowdry for today?!

Ma new boots arrived. They fit really well which is really pleasing because some shoes at this size are a little pinchy. I had tried on Docs at this size before and they weren't working for me but these seem great.

What exams have you got today?


Ugh, my most hellish subject is on Saturday and I haven't started studying for it yet. Epic cramming is going to have to take place...after I complete this stupid take-home exam. Why am I so last minute?!

I have International History today; I'm in Law with History. Property and Criminal tomorrow...*weeps*

What have you tomorrow?
Yeah take-home exams are a pain in the bum. Sucks that it's actually on during the exams, I've had two and they've always been during study week.

Property. Kill me. Decided I'd just do the tutorial topics...somehow that annoying little man managed to cram the whole course into the tutorials.
Should have done it last year with de Londras. Damn illness!

Criminal is grand! At least it was last year when although it was 3 hours long, we only had to study half the course if we wanted to! Paul Anthony, I love you.

Soooo I had my date last night!

Had a really nice time, conversation flowed, but there was a definite lack of romantic chemistry right off the bat... I have a feeling there might be hidden depths there though as he seems quite shy and reserved but there was a bit of a sparkle there at times all the same. There was no 'weak at the knees' feeling though, which I'm an awful sucker for...

Someone send me some motivation. I have a pile of grading at least 4 inches thick, I have to review a student's literature review and review a whole research project and run a practical exam. Motivation = zilch. It's sunny and I want to go outside and frolick in the sunshine!

I say give him another chance and see what happens. He might need time to come out of his shell, maybe you'll see the spark then. I love that shy/mysterious thing though. It's really intriguing.

I'm inclined to agree with you about giving him another chance! But he'll have to do the asking, because I arranged the first meet up, AND I drove for an hour and half to get to it, so I'll have to see some effort from him on this one!

Not so sure about the shy/mysterious thing being particularly intriguing... everyone's intriguing when you get to know them!

I'd agree with you there, let him to the asking this time.

Ask anyone that knows me, I am a little bit weird and I have strange taste in men so thinking it's intriguing is probably odd as well.

The new G.P. is quite nice She's very understanding and seems to be willing to let me lead things, not like my old G.P. who told me that the various recommendations made by the orthopaedic surgeon would cost too much money and therefore he wouldn't refer me - it's my bloody life, let me spend my money fixing myself!! So she's after writing back to the orthopaedic surgeon about the nerve conduction studies for my hands and given me a referral for an MRI on my neck and shoulder. Feel relieved that she is happy to refer me for these things and hopefully they'll sort something out. Unfortunately she said nothing can be done about my legs She said there is no medical procedure to drain fluid permanently and all she can recommend is continuing with massage, acupuncture etc. Feel totally crap about that. She's the third medical professional who has told me my legs will be like this forever so I think I just need to accept that my left leg will always be three times the size of my right leg

She also put me on low dosage anti-depressants for my anxiety. I don't know how I feel about this to be honest. After all the chat about my physical complaints, she asked me how I was feeling mentally and I just burst into tears (so not me at all). I was telling her about all the totally irrational morbid thoughts I'm having all the time, how nervous I am driving by the scene of the accident (which I have to do everyday, twice a day) and how nervous I am as a passenger and she said that over a year has passed and those thoughts should really have left me at this stage. I was also telling her about how hard it is knowing that I'm 25 now and I'm going to have these problems for the rest of my life. I already feel like the accident has aged me about 40 years. So she prescribed these anti-d's and said that in about 3 weeks I should start to feel different and if not, I've to go back to her.
I don't know how I feel about these because prior to the accident I never took any tablets for anything. Aside from asthma and eczema, I was as healthy as a horse. I never suffered from period pain or headaches, I was so lucky I never had to take anything. Since the accident I feel like I need a plethora of stuff just to function normally, go to work, drive the bike etc.

So feeling a bit and a bit and a bit

And my hands are killing me today so I want to scream my head off!

I was in with the G.P. for an hour :eek: I don't think I spent more than 10 minutes with my previous G.P. and that includes when I was still on crutches and had a horrible

infected site on my leg from the fracture blisters

and all the other crap that went along with that period of time. Being in there for an hour is just amazing to me.

Anyways, that was a bit long :P How are we all doing today?

Aw pixiebean!

Try not to worry about the anti-depressants. There's no shame in taking them. People often just need a rest from their own negative thoughts to let their mind put everything back in place as it should be. You can't do that if you're constantly stressed and worrying about things. They're not magic pills so they don't solve problems. They do help give the opportunity to sort your head out without pressure. I know myself that if I wasn't on anti-depressants I could still be miserable and down on myself to this day. I'm now at a point where I can take positive action to get things back on track, and it has already been happening for the past few years. Give them a chance and things might become easier for you.

Know that feeling... Really it's just a case of getting your head around the new reality, that'll come in time. I don't know how not to sound slightly patronising here but coming to terms with the fact that you now need these meds, rather than being annoyed/upset that you do, will be beneficial physically and mentally in the long run!

(In my case, it wasn't an accident but diagnosis of a chronic long term condition that isn't really a huge deal, but required certain adjustments all the same)
