GOGSoc Episode VI: The GoG, the Bad and the Ugly

I don't mind giving it a read through (obviously I don't know anything about music PhDs but I could comment on how I think it comes across in a general sense)

Thankies hun! Will PM it to you

Can send it my way too if you fancy? Just let me get rid of this hangover first

Aw, thanks hun! I've already sent it though It was driving me bonkers, so I just sent it with some amendments that Bluth suggested. I'm such an impatient soul

Well best of luck, my second PhD app is in tomorrow. So I too, am antsy.

This reminds me, I need to cancel my MA offer. Would it be ok to say that I have now quit teaching and so no longer need an MA in education?

I think that sounds perfectly reasonable. I guess the only time you'd have to be particularly careful about wording it would be if you're go back to teaching, but since you're not...

Grargh! Run out of painkillers for my migraines, and the next doctor appointment available is 2 weeks from now (have to see a doctor because I need a prescription and have been using stuff my parents brought over from SA for me). Chances of going 2 weeks without a migraine are very slim indeed

Also, Happy New Year everyone.

Are there any walk in centres near to you? Or does the surgery not offer on the day appointments if you ring up at some stupid hour?

If I were you I'd make the appointment...they work on triage, and they're not going to ignore someone who walks in with a stab wound or a heart attack just because you have an appointment

Hello GOGs. Happy new year! I was back at work today
Had a really rubbish Christmas as I was ill with flu for almost the entire holiday. I spent all of Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Boxing Day and 27th Dec on the sofa feeling sorry for myself. New years was better as I didn't feel like death and 2 friends from the UK came over and we had a really chilled 4 days.
Hope everyone's ok and has had a decent holiday! Wishing everyone the best for 2013

I get migraines very infrequently but they suck. Big time. My sympathies I'm also not convinced they are worth giving up alcohol/chocolate/caffeine for.

Thanks Frequency varies for me, but I think 8 or 10 a month is average. I've also gone on the basis that its not worth going to such drastic means. The painkillers I've just run out of do stop the pain. They leave me very drugged and shaky for several hours, but they work. Lately I've been reading about how bad regular intake of paracetamol is for long term health, and that's making me reconsider.
But yeh... I'm not sure I could give up all that. I go gluten free too, so its all round miserable.
