Hood he/him Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 So I got a job on Thursday (24 November). AND, I got infected with 'chickenpox' on Friday . The last two days have been miserable. Body ache + headache+ 102 degrees fever, is a terrible combination. Doctor says, it will take 7 days. And to add to my woes :- i) I have 6 quizzes from Monday to Wednesday (4 being on Monday). ii) My friend got placed on 25, so we were thinking about throwing a party on Monday. But it is IMPOSSIBLE now . iii) Lastly, next week I have my final exams (we call them End-sems). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briar King Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 People still get that? I got my kids shots for it. I was 5 (1985) when I got it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oversleep Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 Tomorrow is expected a drop in temperature and strong wind and snow and I'm already feeling like I'm getting sick and I just want to curl up under blanket instead of studying 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Elsa Steelheart she/her Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 haven't been on here for a while. okay, I am just so done with everything. 1. I have my first set of 12th grade exams and I'm just so done with all the stress and I can't sleep. 2. My parents believe that I shouldn't get breaks 3. Every time I talk to them now it feels like an argument 4. my friends have ditched me at school. I'm literally sitting by myself. 5. I'm also being excluded, laughed at and made fun of. I'm just so done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erunion he/him Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 @Queen Elsa Steelheart - Massive, massive hug. Three pieces of encouragement: Firstly, you will survive this and you will be better for it. Secondly: 'This too shall pass'. Because, finally, and in the words of the immortal papa Tolkien: “There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.” - J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings, the Return of The King 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I chose to take no courses in summer it would be a full semester. However, my program makes taking no courses in the summer impossible as there are a multitude of courses only offered in the summer. You're expected to work through the year. Which means I haven't had a break from studying longer than 2.5 weeks since summer 2011. Thinking about that makes me need a hug orz. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ended going from August-August with 0 breaks. Had a break this august though, which has saved my sanity. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, "uni" is referring to college, right? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erunion he/him Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 @Ookla the Atypical - Yes, Uni is short for University. There's a distinction in my country (Canada) between colleges and Universities, so we usually differentiate them. Colleges are usually for professional and trades diplomas, or for doing pre-work before transferring to a university, whereas universities grant more traditional degree programs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't let the panic overload your head. You are in charge. Now... what's wrong? Feel free to rant. Thanks. So im stuck in a Hebrew learning program below my level of Hebrew with a bully of a teacher with standards like it's a kindergarten. Don't go to the bathroom during class. Close your textbook we're doing a worksheet now. Stop eating. *says something mildly offensive* -it's just an example of how to use this word in a sentence! i stepped out for ten minutes to make a phone call I could only make during class time. When I got back in "I'm gonna mark you late if you just leave and don't come back" i was avoiding class after a break so turned up twenty minutes late. She asks in front of the whole class "so can I know where you've been for the past hour?" hour?! if I quit I lose accomodations and have a whole problem sorting out what to do next. If I stay I'm miserable. It's her own insecurities ans I can ignore them for a day or two but she's wearing away at my poor squishy heart and I don't know what to do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 Is there anyone you can report her to? Or some way you can leave her a nasty one-star review somewhere? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her superior wants to know why I keep missing class, I'm seeing her on Thursday; I had a quick conversation with her today and she didn't seem too sympathetic. I might be able to switch to a lower class; I'm bored anyway but at least I'll feel safe. But again, can't do that till Thursday. This person doesn't teach Wednesday so I have to convince my panic centre that it's safe to be in class with her all of tomorrow. Well all of a long morning. I also pronised someone some sigital work im not sure I can finish and I'm trying to work out if I should try get a lot done tomorrow or just tell her personal issues I can't. And just not get paid. No on ever said life was so complicated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might help. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jondesu he/him Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 Just had a big fight with my wife, and thought we'd reached a point of understanding at least, and then she stormed off after we'd stopped talking for a while and I have no idea why... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverblade5 he/him Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 Has anyone here ever been in a position where they were asking themselves the question of being a bad influence on the people they care about? Today, my girlfriend learned that her best friend for five years began cutting last night, and believes that it's due to her influence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
