and it's one of the things that keeps me smiling through these stressful uni-related times ._. but on the plus side that means that uni is the only kinda negative thing in my life. everything else is great!
i had a bit of a freak out last week. i woke up at 4am for some unknown reason and started thinking about how much work i had to do in so few months.. then i started crying and was so wound up that i couldn't get back to sleep. so i ended up talking to a couple of insomniac friends from home who made me feel much better and got up to do a couple of hours work before crashing again at 7ish :/
the weekend wasn't too bad but i didn't feel like myself at all.
this week i've gradually recovered but was kinda uncomfortable as i had to take a strong dose of antibiotics 4 times a day and these occasionally left me feeling like there was something stuck in my throat.. really uncomfortable. annoyingly the reason why i was prescribed them still hasn't gone away so i need to go back to the doctors ._. that's lame.
a friend said that maybe the crazy-big dose of meds plus the stress i was under may have led to that break down...
i'm feeling much calmer today tho :) i've finally finished my questionnaire for dissertation and am gonna get started collecting data. also i've been gradually working at the bulk of the writing for it so feeling slightly more productive than i was.
hopefully things are looking up again. for one thing i'm going to comicon next weekend and am gonna meet stan lee on the sunday! O.O i'm still pretty blown by that..
i also went to amsterdam recently :) that was nice. met lots of great people, looked around museums, bought pesto cheese, explored the really nice lookin streets and walked on a frozen canal ^.^ i also tried my first taste of a hash brownie and didn't think it had much of an effect on me but apparently i spent the whole time talking to myself... interesting :D
in amongst the cool people i met were some australian backpackers, mel, james and jack. james and jack taught me and the rest of the group how to play "fuck your friends" (the card game ;D) and i got a chance to speak to mel about travelling. i think it had a big impact on me as all i could think about the last day in amsterdam was all the places i wanna visit...
i've got to train myself to do these things AFTER uni though. i get so excited by new ideas that i want to arrange them right now despite everything that i should be prioritizing xD
anyways.. all's good really and i know there will be parts of uni i'll miss.. but they sure as hell won't be the assignments.
peace, love and adventure! xxxx
