another reason why i love my school...

as you'd probably know from my stick-note deadline system, today marks a ginormous day in terms of submissions. i have a 750-word colloquia analysis and a hefty 1,500-word stats assignment due by the end of the day. but last night as i crammed for the final stretch... the most inconvenient thing happened.
i spiked a fever!
i can't even remember the last time i HAD a fever. though in retrospect i know it's probably due to the retarded sleep cycles and unhealthy levels of stress, but it couldn't have happened at a worse time! i sat at my desk close to midnight, trying as hard as i could to make my two assignments sound somewhat educated - but my body just wasn't having it. i was supposed to pull an all-nighter last night, but instead i was curled in bed by midnight with a heavy head, stinging eyes and chills - classic fever symptoms. don't you just hate the feeling when your temperature's high and you turn over in bed but you can actually feel your pillow heating up?
so i took two panadols and prayed that a 2-hr nap would cut it. unfortunately not. i slept 3hrs longer than i should've and was still feeling like crap when i yanked my head off the pillow. in a lastdesperate ditched attempt, i wrote to my lecturer... knowing full well what MOST teachers from MOST schools would say when a student called in sick during assignment day.
instead, i got this ^^
i hate this course. i hate how it's taken every good thing about psychology and all the dreams i've had on the back burner should my medical school goal go flying out the window, and turn it against me. i hate how it's making the most brilliant congregation of people i know doubt themselves. i hate how it's making ME doubt myself.
but amidst all that...
i love my school. everything about it ;) and did i kind of also mention how awesome my lecturers are? ^^
