ok. lets be clear about this from the off. i really enjoyed studying and working towards the course and exams the last few weeks. really enjoyed it indeed. actually setting myself a difficult target and focusing on achieving it has been great. and fingers crossed i'll pass my practitioner exam and have not just what I've learnt but something substantial on my CV. but, some things don't change, and by about 10.30 Friday night, good as clockwork, i started getting a migraine. hangover i thought kicking in early as had been drinking all day. not a chance. around midnight i was in such a stage that i had to leave the bar i was in and just go home in complete agony. it's a weird feeling. the pain just focuses everything and instantly sober up. drinking through it isn't even an option. just thank you and good night.
i'm not sure why this happens. it's been happening as long as I can remember, both the working hard and the headaches that follow. back at primary school i remember secretly waking up at 3am and working on projects till 6am before going back to sleep for an hour before "waking up" for school. not sure if my parents knew i ever did this, if they did they never stopped me. pretty much every day until i finished school i'd wake up and practice piano for at least 45 minutes every morning before heading in. the kick back is i guess i've always suffered from migraines as long as i can remember. i never get them when i'm stressed or under pressure but following. always after, never during. as sure as night follows day. i guess it's my bodies way of dealing with the mental strain i put it under. just wish it didn't happen.
