How Was Your Day? VII

It's been a truly awful day. I think I had an allergic reaction to antibiotics as I started taking them today for a lump that's on my neck. A few hours in, I struggled with breathing and I was shaking, and my two friends met up with me. I was slurring my words and not making any sense, and was having a bit of a panic attack but it's all a bit of a blur. They took me to A+E and the nurse said that it's not an allergic reaction as apparently, you can't get an allergic reaction from taking just one antibiotic. She told me it's just the excitement of student life getting to me and I should stop being melodramatic. And I remember her grinning at me. She said that I should be honest with her and just admit I have taken some illegal drugs and it's not agreed with me... I would have been angry with the nurse at the time, but I was so dazed and confused that it just passed me by.

I'm not taking those antibiotics ever again. I feel OK now.

Davey, please check this out with a doctor, you can get allergic reactions from taking just one antibiotic, I did and found out I am allergic to penicillin. Glad you are ok but you need to get the lump on your neck sorted so please see a doctor again :)

I am also allergic to penicillin, and several other antibiotic. Take Perdy's advice and get yourself down to the GP asap.

Me too. I'm alllergic to penicillin and most antibiotics. I became allergic to them in my early teens after most of my life suffering from tonsillitis. I come out in a rash starting with spots on my hands and fingers. Now if I have a sore throat, which I did a few weeks back I don't bother going to the doctors because every doctor apart from the family one always gives me ones that brings out the allergy.

On a happier note. I finally finished painting Marley's room and got the flooring delivered from B&Q yesterday morning so it's all go. Work is still a stress. We got told last week that from next Summer our college is merging with another college across the city. We don't know yet how it will affect jobs as there will be some areas where they won't need two departments the same. There are to be no compulsory redundancies this year as the lecturing staff agreed to increase their class contact time.

Had some good news earlier, my place in Spain is only 40 miles from where the big earthquake was yesterday, my friend was watering my plants on my sunroof when it started shaking, but no damage, thank God. Another apartment he looked after had a couple of smashed ornaments in the kitchen, nothing more. Stressful few days for me next week with the family, hope it turns out better than I am expecting to at moment. My knee which I twisted in January on black ice has got worse the past couple of days, had an x-ray today but can't see the doctor for 2 weeks now to discuss treatment :(

Im going to court today as part of my placement and then i have a very big weekend because i am going to London for the Cup Final! im so excited!!!

The rest of my time is taken up by revision, its very boring!

Have a good day in court and a great weekend at the Cup Final :D

No more exams until Monday afternoon! This constitutes a long break with my exam timetable... Any IT geniuses fancy doing my IT exam? Guess I better replace all this latin in my head for the Law exam this morning for technical jargon if not. Been back at uni 3 days, someone's already been taking my stuff and I'm betting on a fine for the state of the kitchen. So annoyed, I cleaned the table twice yesterday and still a particular flatmate decides to throw stuff all over it.

I'm going to court on Monday to give evidence. It's part of an assessment. I'm not really looking forward to getting grilled by my lecturers.

Living in Stoke I can't get away from the cup final. I'm not a football fan, I'm not really interested in Stoke making history. People say I should be but... meh. Give me rugby any day.

I've come to the conclusion that you can't change the way people live. You can live with tidy people though. There's no point getting into bed over it because these people never change. I can say this with three years' experience of living with messy students.


I've almost finished my last assignment, ~300 words to go. I think one more point then a little conclusion. I really don't care right now, I'm fed up of facial recognition. After this there's court on Monday then I've finished my degree. It's been a great three years but I'm so glad its over in 73 hours. Yes, I am counting! 1430 on Monday afternoon I will be free and no longer a student. I can concentrate on getting myself better, figuring out what I want to do with life and getting on with it.

Good luck for Monday. I've never thought of myself as an overly tidy person but this guy takes the mick. He febreezes his clothes rather than washing them :sick: Most of my flat weren't that bad to begin with, it was just the select few who left their plates lying around and everyone else came to see it as acceptable. There's never any room to wash up in the sinks any more, I end up doing mine in my bathroom.

That's roughly a countdown to my next exam also, I had better get to the library and do some more IT. I can hardly contain my excitement. Has to be one of the worst modules all year.
