Yeah thanks

Very sorry to hear about throat infection that's really rubbish :/ Is that the strep, sorry? Either way try not to worry about hockey stuff? Can't help it that you're ill, and not your fault at all - so don't go blaming yourself?
I'm sorry you're feeling so rubbish at the moment Hope things improve soon for you, sounds like you've got a lot on


and thanks watched some lord of the rings in bed with some pancakes then got sleep!

Feel just too overwhelmed still don't even know what I'm doing :/ Got an assignment in for tomorrow and I didn't even remember it/had forgotten sort of, I'd meant to do it over this week/last 4 days, but just haven't had the time apparently/just bleh. Probably couldn't do it even if I tried, not understanding anything really in lectures atm. And keep missing them, too
3 weeks of lectures left and then I've got to somehow know enough to sit these exams.
Hopefully after this weekend cinema will take up less time, though
Getting to make-up and project Toy Story on friday, though - so excited though also exhausted bad 4am sleep schedule is bad :/

What's drugs fix ocd

I'm not sure what strep is called in the UK (and google wasn't helpful) but it's just a specific type of throat infection.

In the UK, they don't generally take swabs if you have an inflamed throat. If they decide it is bacterial and severe enough to require treatment they just prescribe a broad spectrum antibiotic which would cure strep or straph infection (two of the most common bacteria causing throat infections).

Rather than specifying a bacteria or virus, they specify the bit of the throat that is inflamed so they would diagnose tonsilitis or pharyngitis.

To cut a long story short though, tonsilitis is generally the term used for strep throat in the uk (even if it isn't the tonsils specifically affected people would call it that)

Well, scratch that, now I don't have my two friends in my group either, didn't get my first choice. This is just ****ing stupid, and I know I shouldn't be this worked up over something so trivial but I just can't be ****ing bothered with this ****.

Gonna fail it anyway, so **** at everything.

so my attempt at being a vague human being tonight ended in me having a massive flashback and pouring a glass of water at a man. fml.

I'm not sure what strep is called in the UK (and google wasn't helpful) but it's just a specific type of throat infection. That's basically what my wife said about the hockey but I can't help feeling bad over it, I feel like if I wasn't such a wuss I'd play through the pain. And thanks

Pancakes sound good. I wanted to make some but yeah....effort


How'd the assignment go? If you're not understanding lectures could you try speaking to the lecturer about it? ime they don't mind helping people out, for instance by recommending some background reading you could do to clarify things.

"project Toy story"? Sounds intriguing!

going to try not to post so much as TSR seems to be bad for me.

Hope everyone is OK

Awesome, thanks for clearing that up.

No probs. I used to get that all the time to the point where they suggested removing the tonsils but then several years ago, I had it really bad and took a very high dose of antibiotics and since it cleared up that time, I haven't had it since.

Not playing hockey or whatever when you are ill shouldn't make you feel bad. It isn't about being able to 'take the pain' or some such other stoic concept. It is surely about just being smart and conserving your strength to fight an infection as quick as possible so you are back to full fitness to play next time. Or just generally prioritising your health and recovery over trivial things. I wish I had learnt to think like that ten years ago tbh, in hindsight, every time I have 'played through it' whether it be in regards to mental or physical health has just been stupidity, not strength.

Oh nice! I wish the antibiotics would kick in like that for me I got sore throats all the time as a kid too but never as severely as these past few weeks and never with such prolonged fever. Hopefully you continue to be free of it.

...

Try not to worry too much about it if you can? Can you share results with the other people in your group? Or maybe go with your friends when they do there's/steal some of the people they use Seems really unfair that you have to find your own people and just tough.

Was going to say if you're near coventry then I'd be happy to though I realise that chances are you aren't
