life is like a box of chocolates…

…you never know what you’re gonna get.

 

firstly let me just say that i hope everyone’s having a relatively stress-free exam period, just think – after the 26th it’s a beautiful month filled with nothing! perfect 🙂
That said i have to rant about the horrible time i’m having; and no it’s not purely based on exam stress: i’ve been faced with one of those situations in life you really wish you could just by-pass, and while i’m not going to belittle it by describing it in a post, lets just say special consideration has been sought. I never ever thought i’d have to apply for special consideration – i’ve always thought of myself as relatively strong and mentally focussed enough to get through any situation….well, most situations. But having said that i don’t think that anyone could ever prepare themselves for the shitty-esque week i’ve had. Sigh. Anyway, the point to this seemingly pointless rant is to praise the work of the subject coordinators at this university. I thought talking about my issue would be dificult and daunting, but suprisingly i was wrong. One staff member (who shall remain anonymous) has gone out of her way to make this time in my life as stress-free as possible, and for that i thank her tremendously. It’s moments like these when you realise how lucky you are to be apart of a place filled with people who actually care about you, instead of the viewing you as a mere number that contributes to the funding of the new science block (or something else to that affect). Anyway, it’s Friday and i’m completely drained after my H2H exam (which, by the way i think i may have failed :|), so i’m going to go drown my sorrows over a few drinks with friends.

Take care guys, have a great break!
