Hey peeps!

Turns out this whole PhD malarkey is gonna be a lot more work and structured than I thought. My supervisor (who's very nice but a bit scary!) wants to see me every 2 weeks :eek:

This is gonna mean much less TSR time, including availability to check up on people and ability to have PM conversations or extended chats on Facebook :sad: From now on, looks like text is gonna be the best way to get at me! :yes:

Yeah i'll send it all back when my meds have made my head is straight again. This isn't the first ime this has happened :hugs:

So lonely being invisible to the rest of the world. The rest of the world seems excellent at isolating me further.


:frown: :hugs:
You aren't invisible to us.

i can imagine it would be! i've never gone shopping and not remembered it, but i have definitely had crazy impulsive shopping urges that would not go away so i can kind of relate to how uncontrollable it can get :redface:

ups and downs - currently more downs than ups but ahhh well. it's like i'll be averaging ok throughout the day, just plodding along through life and then within like 30 seconds everything plummets again, and i'm back to how i was this time last year :frown:

I'm ok, tired and in quite a lot of pain still (got some kind of a chest infection I can't remember the name of) but other than that feel alrightish? Do you feel a bit better now that's all sorted? :hugs:

It might not necessarily involve fire even if you do end up doing practical? Or is there any way you could just not do it even if the rest of the class are? From memory with the science ISAs there was some way of doing the paper even if you didn't do the practical part, or you could ask the teacher if you could do one that doesn't involve fire as there's normally a choice...

Haha double or even bigger? haha.

And that will be good! Only been down to Plymouth once and just went to the shopping bit which wasn't that nice tbh! The train journey going past Dawlish was amazing though.

the thing is 25% of my grade, and it goes all round this pracitcal. its impossible for me not to do it.

I know how you feel. Try to remember that treating your body well should help even if slightly, regular meals , light exercise ect :smile: xx

That's a good idea i'll look into that - thanks :smile:

There are usually several different practicals you can do though, so if you explain to your teacher they might be able to pick the one that's best for you. I'm sure I also remember a section on the front of the paper for the teacher to fill in if the student didn't actually do the practical, and GCSE practicals are normally done in groups anyway aren't there? So you shouldn't have to be too actively involved in the part you don't like.

No idea if it's actually a thing, but yeah- good luck! :smile:
