I hate waiting.

I'm ill. I want to be melodramatic and say I have the flu, but I don't it's just a cold, a bad one, but still just a cold. And it makes me grumpy and achey and miss uni. But it does show me how lovely my friends are, as I was brought a bottle of lucozade and some chicken noodle soup.
But yes, I hate waiting. I hate waiting for news of where I am going to be uprooted to and living for the next 10 days. I hate receiving an email that says 'Dear Lucie,Your new placement has been allocated.' but when I log in, it all says 'to be confirmed', which clearly doesn't mean it's been allocated. What it means, I found out from a rather snotty and blunt email, that I am actually on the waiting list, as they still haven't found enough placements. This is brilliant organization, considering we had the placement dates since September... But still, I've never had to organize 70 odd placements before, so I can't judge. 


Being ill and grumpy, and stressed with the anticipation of waiting for the news is making writing my essays to meet my deadline difficult. But I have finally finished my EOP1 summary, so yay to that! And now I'm awake after spending all day in a dark room sleeping I am attempting to write out my draft appraisal. I have until friday, so it shouldn't be too much of an issue. 


Also, not really stressing out about the appraisal, for reasons I've mentioned before. But am avoiding the facebook group my peers are using to discuss it for a variety of reasons, however there's two that are the main issues... Firstly, they are over complicating things so much so that they are scaremongering and stressing people out for no reason. Secondly, they are all discussing answers/themes/topics and personally I find it hard not to repeat, almost parrot fashion, what I have read, which will become quite apparent to the markers. Similarly the answer the have collectively settled on may not be right. I'm not saying whether I believe it is or isn't just that it's a possibility, and one that I wish to avoid. 


As long as the random shooting pains in my digits don't get too much, I will finish my initial draft tonight. yay. ow. zzzz
