I want to apologise in advance - I'm in a bad mood. But I need to rant.
I went for my third Hep B jab today. That in itself is not a good thing because my NHS Trust is making me pay through the nose for it whereas my medic friends who live in the town where we went to school are getting it free, or free-er than me. £29 per jab and an extra £29 for the blood test. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I'm a student who has a bad relationship with student finance. I have no money!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Plus it was hot today. I mean heatwave hot. And little-miss-yes-I-am-fasting-me had to walk to the hospital from the bus station, a walk I wouldn't normally mind but NORMALLY I have bottle of water and am allowed to drink it!
Breathe, breathe.
Extra sources of annoyance: I'm going to the dentist on Monday but the stupid bus company is having a stupid strike so instead of getting just one bus I have to get a bus, then a train, then walk. And Monday's already a busy day. I have a doctors appoitment (I sound like an invalid) and a huge test in the morning (I don't want to say the name in case I jinx it but it's the kind of test everyone over the age of 17 takes) which I had a really bad dream about last night! Ah yes, last night. Last night was comprised of about five/six hours interupted sleep and nightmares concerning my uncle shouting at my whilst I backed away.
Breathe!
On a slightly better note it was our prize-giving yesterday and I got a prize for English! Which normally would make me really, really happy (I love English, maybe more than I love medicine) but in my current climate remembering yesterday is making me revert back to my old internal battle - am I really doing the right course, I should have applied for English, no Medicine, no English...why can't they do joint honours in Medicine?
Breathe!
I'm going to go now before I start swearing, or worse. Bet you understand the blog's title now, eh. Sorry if I offended anyone or came across brusque and mean. Normally I'm a really nice guy. Honest.
Quick Q: Where can I get a personal attack alarm from? Someone said the police?

Oh my god, I think you actually are my long lost twin: I have exACTLY the same internal battle: English or Medicine, and it still kills me to think I could've done English, and would have had more natural aptitude for it than medicine, lol. Why?!
Also becoming a pincushion for the Hep B jab on Monday :( Damn them.
And good luck with the *test*! ¬_¬
:)
Heya, saw your link on one of the FB so I thought I'd see the blog you've put up. I'm about to start medicine as well so it got my interest.
First thing I wanted to ask is: WTF are they making you pay for your jabs? that's bang outta order!
Second thing is: If you need to drink in front of someone whose fasting, go for it, they won't mind! speaking from fasting experience =D.
Hey Humaira! You're exactly like me!!!!!!!! Finally, someone who understands my dilemma! It's funny cause all of my friends want to do medicine and can't imagine doing anything else so they just roll their eyes when I try to explain! I still think I've made the wrong choice, and if I could go back I would change my mind! But I've decided I'm going to read/write in my spare time and then, in twenty years time when my first book gets published (hopefully!) I'm going to give up med for english the same way I've now given up english to do med! :D
Hi Kesshin!
I know! It's so stupid, especially as its so expensive and no one else i know (bar one person) has to pay!!!!
It was me who was fasting, not somebody else...
Have fun at med school :D
Ahh you were fasting? LMAOOO wooooow fail by me there! my bad :P. How you finding these fasts dude?
They tend to give personal attack alarms away during Freshers.

Hey Kesshin! the fasts are going alright although i find it easier doing them at school cause it takes my mind of it! how about urs?
Hello again R! thanks for that little golden nugget of info. it means i don't have to ring up/go to the police station and embarass myself!
