bouteillebleuHow this week was supposed to start:
Monday: revise lots.
Tuesday: exam in morning.
Wednesday: exam in morning.
How this week actually happened:
Monday: revise in morning at CL. Feel not great, go home. Spend afternoon and evening throwing up, and night in a bizarre maze of dreams involving some fiendishly complicated knot that was somehow related to my inability to sleep comfortably.
Tuesday: go to college nurse's office, confuse her greatly about why my tutor sent me there when I may be infectious, finally explain it's because I'm supposed to be incommunicado (by this point, the exam has started at the CL). Go to GP for anti-nausea tablets, which work wonderfully and are apparently also used to counteract hallucinations from mental illnesses.
Sleep for a few hours. Have visit from tutor and senior tutor's clerk in afternoon, decide to do exam at 4, attempt exam, get 45 mintues of 2 hours done before head and stomach ache too badly. Go home, eat, sleep.
Wednesday: much better. Manage breakfast. Go into college again as arranged on previous day, do second exam mid-morning, do slightly better though still have headache afterwards. Rejoice, go home, eat sushi to celebrate not being ill now.
Here's hoping that Thursday just brings the expected lectures, and not a recurrence of illness. This was possibly the most impressive and inconvenient time to have a stomach bug... :)
