Wow, I really haven't written an update in ages, have I? I keep meaning to, but it's all so very complicated - not because I don't have much to say, but because there's so much, and I often find my brain a bit stunned and finding it hard to be clear & expressive. Am in constant state of worrying about work cos the situation there is both uncertain ( Read more... )

Anxiety to the max. It is all very shit and I don't know what I'm doing and I want another revision day.

What's pissing me off most is that I like exams. It's one of my kooky little eccentricities. I find them a cheering challenge. Now my stupid brain/body/holistic self is ruining them. I hate you, me. Remember, idiot self, IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT ( Read more... )
