1am films in Jas' room

I had been in bed for 24 hours. I didn't have the energy to move - I didn't eat for nearly 2 day because of this.
Thankfully I have a wonderful flatmate who convinced me walking to the Chinese and getting food would be good for me, and it was! It broke my mood and now I feel a lot better.
And another great flatmate who went and got me some shopping after work. They both are such wonderful people!
I really am going to miss them for the 2 and a half months I'm away! Miss the 2am films, the quoting, the weird weird behaviours displayed by both of them, the chips brought home for dinner, all three of us in Jas' bed, the political banter...and of course the echoes of 'BENGAAAY' down the corridor!
I will have to come back weekends to see them!

I realise now that I get stressed about things that I can't change, or have any control of and, to want to do things for, and help people that I can't. I just want to help people, even when it's not my place to, I want to do things for them. And when it's a situation that I can't change, I get stressed, despite the fact there's nothing I can do. I've got to just learn to let things go.
In skills we learnt about relaxation techniques - And one I have used since I learnt about it was the 'mitchell progressive muscular relaxation technique' helps when I can't sleep!



It's scary how this is going to be the last week of the semester- week 12 (although we've been here for 13 weeks). We're half way through our first year, now that is scary!!!
I have to revise for my OSCE the next couple of days. Once that's out of the way, I'm gunna get pizza. Then just gotta do my MCQ2, which I am 2/3 of the way through, enjoy the last few nights with my girls, and go home on the 18th!

I'm really looking forward to going on placement, and much more happy now I have my accommodation sorted! Hopefully my PE will email back this week will more details, and the answers to my questions.
I just want to get stuck in, to really see OT being implemented, to see the difference it can make in people's lives!

7 more sleeps until I go home! Til I see my family, my pusscat and my boyfriend! It's going to be good! It'll be difficult because I'm not used to not having any money, or having the use of a car :/ But it'll be what I make of it, and if I have to be a bus wanker for a couple of weeks at home, so be it!
I'm looking forward to the food, the home cooked yummy food, the fact it won't run out. The endless crappy tv, the kids films, the Christmas films, the Christmas soaps, The snacks (I rarely ever eat pickled onions/gherkins at any other time), the quality time with my sister and niece. The smells of Christmas, the food, the flowers, the smell of the cold. The endless forced games (although I prefer playing Freya's games). The friendliness of people. The family time, the time to relax and to enjoy -This is why I Love Christmas!!

This time next week I will be at home, and I can't bloody wait
