It is three and half weeks since my last 'This Past Week'. Since I started my blog that is longest I have gone without my usual Sunday (more often Wednesday) post. I have missed it.
Unfortunately
this will be another post where I tell you that I haven't blogged because of
being ill. Throw in two assignment deadlines and you've hit the
no-post-jackpot.
My
old friend tonsillitis came back just over three weeks ago and as I tried
to work through an assignment I was getting sicker, even with the prescribed
anti biotics, I just wasn’t getting any better. It was one of the worst weeks,
assignment stress and my throat being so sore was stopping me from sleeping
properly. During that week I felt the lowest I had ever felt during my time at
university. I was pretty much on the brink of crying at the smallest thing. After
a visit to the walk in centre and another week of antibiotics, I am finally
back to health. I would like to stay that way for the rest of 2015 please.
While
I’d managed to get myself back to health from the comfort of my student house, I
was massively in need of some home comforts. I have few complaints about my student
life in Sheffield but sometimes you just need to go home, sleep in your bedroom
of five years and eat a Sunday roast. My decision to quickly book a train
ticket on Wednesday was definitely a good one.
After
a week off from lectures and seminars to allow myself time to get back to
health, I don't mind admitting that last week I struggled to fully concentrate
on Uni work again. I write this on my way back to Sheffield from my weekend at
home while also writing a to-do list of things to complete before I see home
again for Christmas. Having time to properly recharge my batteries at home has
made feel so much better about the next three weeks which I foresee being very
busy.
I
hope you have a great week!
