    I had my wife read the ms and mark anywhere I was telling not showing. I'm about half done with those edits and I'm getting the whole "It's all crap" feeling.

    nah, you're fine

    just get the edits done and reread it and I'm sure it's gonna seem good
    we are always are own harshest critics
    I reread some old stories of mine, stories that at the time I thought was crap


    some of it needed alot of revision, but overall I impressed myself! It can't be as bad as you think, if you need, step away from it for a few days and then re-examine it.:cool:

    Ate, like, 4 slices of soy and linseed bread with a cup of soup, now I feel sick. Seemed like such a wonderful idea for lunch, too.

    Even though my husband filled out all the paperwork for me to be on his health insurance policy and has been paying $400 a month for the past three months for me to have coverage...somehow...the insurance company has never heard of me. This means that a) I had to pay full price for my medications today...which I couldn't afford...so I had to borrow money from my dad, and b) that little trip to the er a few weeks ago...yeah...we are going to have to pay for that...unless we can get this straightened out and have them retroactively put me on the plan like I should have been from the start. I honestly don't know how we would pay that ER bill.

    My ear is draining. It happens after I get over a cold and, as per the usual, it's only doing it in my good ear where my hearing aid is. My bad ear? COMPLETELY CLEAR!!!

    Of course, not to mention the times that debries like to fly right into my one good eye. It always avoids my bad one.

    Sometimes I wonder if the Cosmos wants me to be miserable. :(

    You're not the only one, Speedy. :(

    Today I am feeling a little better, but yesterday my fever was high. 103.5 F at the worst. I jumped in the shower when it got that high. William nagged at me to go to the clinic, but I HATE going to the hospital. I know enough from my work to know that there is not a thing they can do for a flu. I can recite the advice they are going to give from memory. LOTS of fluids. Rest. Don't worry so much if you don't have an appetite, that is to be expected. Just stay hydrated.

    Today I am hovering around 100.

    Aw, that so sucks, Speedy! I hope you'll be feeling better tomorrow. :(

    Why is everybody being sick? :( Well, just do what you said there, and I hope you'll feel better soon!

    *huggles Speedy and Wrey*

    Hope you two get better soon. And Wrey, how wonderful things would be if all a Doctor needed to open his/her mouth was to kiss us better and all our ills would go away. Maybe I'd consider becoming a Doc then.

    My flu like symptoms are fine today. Much better then i was expecting BUT

    I took some lemon and honey for the troat and well the misses put way way to much lemon in, and it was fresh lemon, not bottled stuff which i use.

    Anyway, i woke up last night (after sleeping all day) with bowel movement.....by the time i had to visit the toilet the 10th time in an hour passing a drop pure citric acid out .... i really really wanted to blow my brains out.

    Lots of mylanta and reckless sleep ....i'm better. The bowel is still not solid.

    Give me lots of coughing any day



    Hope you are feeling much better today wrey!

    So the other week my Xbox 360 decided it didn't want to read discs anymore. Everything else with it seems to work fine, it just acts like there is no disc in it when you try playing a game. Luckily it was still under warranty. I get it replaced with another used 360... which turns out to have the same problem. Now I got to what for gamestop to find a replacement for this one. :mad:

    Sleep was at something of a premium last night for reasons I know not.

    And I'm also writing like an absolute berk. Just to rub it in.

    Speedy-My mom's advice for a real real real bad throat when even Tosex doen't work. Take half a ginger. Roast it on the flame for a minute, take it with a spoonful of honey. Reapeat every hour. No side effects, no anything. Works like a charm. Considering I get tonsilitis twice every time, after I recover from it I get real bad throat-works for me every time. Get well soon!

    Shadow-having that problem with my Cybershot. Sucks it does :(

    DvnMrtn-Aww, sympathies. I once caught my ex kissing my ex-bff who was his ex after they'd both assured me they had no problem with each other. I discovered how much really problem they didn't have with each other. Taught me a thing or two about trust and life. Learn from it and move on. There are plenty of good girls out there. But since I've been there before, *huggles*

    Dante-Being there already, sympathies.

    My problem seems a bit petty after the above so I'm just putting a rant alert on it. lol.

    Isn't it real funny when one day you wake up one day and find yourself wondering if you'll pass the year. I mean I've come suuuuuuuuch a loooooong way. In 7th I'd cry because I got 99 and not 100. Then in 9th I'd pray I get marks in 90s. In 10th I'd cry because I got in the 60s....now in the finals in 11th, I'm praying I get them in the 60s. And people call me a whizkid bacause I get 'em in the 60s. In EVE I'm wondering if I'd get more than 50. Hell, it seems kismet's screaming at me-Welcome to the real life baby! Fingers crossed for tommorow. Oh God, please, lemme get a respectable perci, and please let my bff pass. she wants to go to the 12th this year! Sigh. I'm a bag of nerves. 21 hours to Doomsday.

    I hope you feel better now, Speedy!!

    And DvnMrtn, if you got dumped or cheated on, there's no reason to feel dirty at all... Also, if she's like that someone, it's a good thing that you're not together anymore. But anyway, I guess it must be hard despite that, so I hope you'll cheer up soon. :(

    Sorry you're not feeling happy, Dante... I hope you'll be able to smile on your birthday, though!! :)

    Aw, Neha, I know exactly what you're going through, and I hate that feeling! But I'm pretty sure you're way smarter than me, so I think you'll have done/or will do just fine. Try to calm down a bit in the meanwhile, there's nothing you can do about now. Just relax and think about more fun stuff. :)

    Neha, my best advice is to try and make this experience enjoyable.

    Now I know how crazy that sounds. How could exams and all that pressure ever be enjoyable?

    But trust me, it so works. Approach the revision as though you're the mightiest girl on earth - don't ever let the words 'I can't do this' enter your head. Convince yourself constantly that you love this kind of thing - that you know you can beat anything you set your mind to.

    By the time you're lining up outside the exam room, you'll be filled with excitement. Say to yourself, 'I can't way to show them what I've got'. Once in there, write til your fingers go numb and the last second ticks away.

    Even if deep down inside you know you're kidding yourself, when you say 'I can't wait for this' and such, the more you confident you get, the more you'll believe it. And what happens when we get confidence and knowledge? We kick the arse out of those exams!


    Trust me, I did this all the time, and I passed classes that I didn't even attend for half of the year and had barely revised for. Confidence can bring out information that you never knew you had inside of you under exam circumstances. Given that you're a hard worker, Neha, I know you'll do well.

    Good luck, and enjoy it! :)
