suffering

Horrid horrid nausea, pain and frequent toilet runs have characterised the past few days, but especially today, and I'm ready to give up all attempts to study!! My messed up insides cannot even manage half a truly-indulgent-triple-choc-cookie!! And, as if being controlled by your intestinal systems isn't sufficient to induce utter helplessness, just swallowing horrid ultracarbon charcoal tablets (and not by choice either) is enough to spark off another bout of toilet visits, believe it or not. :(

Don't call me poor thing because I am frustrated and angry and not seeking sympathy! And, I don't want to visit the doctor because I just don't. want. to! What's more, having to learn my IS-LM curves all over again is infuriating and enough to make me feel a tinge of regret creep back in. Oh dear, I really am so so tired.... but shining you're going to have to absolutely stop ranting this moment, like right NOW!!

Hrmph. Still, if this is to be the greatest extent of suffering I'll experience(and I can assure you that though I'm not sneezing endlessly or weak and bed-ridden, it's been one of the most draining of the times I've taken ill), but, if this is the worst of it, and considering I've not ever fallen really really ill since arriving in London (pollution, weather and all), I am truly blessed.

makarios.

A grudging attempt at venting it all out and putting things into perspective with gratitude, but I now do feel truly grateful. Well, that didn't take long! Back to studying.
