Delays Are… The New Black (Lara)

After what was a pretty awesome rocking weekend at Splendour in the Grass in Byron Bay (the secret band being The Vines, of which Craig Nicholls did enough damage after the set to produce a novel-sized repair/replacement bill!), which was meant to be my final fling before hopping on a plane to venture back into the mysterious depths of Victoria, I arrived back in Sydney airport after catching a plane from the Gold Coast feeling rather tired and lethargic.

After being greeted by my parents we drove back home but by the time i was walking in the front door i was strangely REALLY tired and hot so i decided to lay down. Give it half an hour and, yep..you guessed it….

Half an hour later i’m walking out of the medical centre in tears of disbelief at how one can have such ongoing bad luck.

“Chicken Pox,” says the doctor. “It can be much worse when you get it older, come back if you get really bad. Otherwise don’t leave home for at least a week..or more depending how bad you get!”

So here i am, lying in bed unable to eat/move/swallow liquids/talk without being in immense pain. So much for my fresh return to Melbourne, hey!

*Sigh* I hope everyone else has had a great return to uni…Hopefully mine will come sooner rather than too much later. I’ll attach some photos from Splendour anyways cause that was pretty fantastic.

Tomorrow will be spent reading what has been posted up on webraft in the way of lecture notes, prac information etc. i think. If i actually wake up from all that Nurofen! So upset that my return to uni has to be sabotaged by something as well!
