Not Coping

[Birdofparadise8]

I got some stuff with a thing called milk run @Jynx 

[Jynx]

Cute name hehe @Birdofparadise8 

Well that's good, glad that you got plenty of stuff to eat! 

Will it impact your ability to attend your classes? 

[Birdofparadise8]

I only got some milk, fruit toast and ice cream hahah. I had food to cook tonight and I have a few freezer meals to use to tie me over @Jynx 

OMG next door has loud music going ahhh. 

[Jynx]

Noooo why! @Birdofparadise8 that sucks. Do you have noise cancelling headphones? They've been a life saver for me - if I don't feel like listening to music I just chuck on some white noise, drowns everything else out and lets me just retreat into my own bubble for a while. 

[Birdofparadise8]

Yeah, I do. It's stopped for a bit now, but I think they are having a party. 

My other roommate is coming back soon, so I should go to my room at some stage so she isn't near me. I feel so bad I have covid @Jynx 

I had a few things to do this week. I hope I'll be able to study and get ready for next week. I have so much anatomy. I think I have five hours of lectures for three classes, and the other one hasn't been released yet. Then, readings and other modules are on top of it. Ahh, so much to do. Oh well it's what I signed up for. I've just got to push through this sem, and my other three will be nutrition, chemistry, and biochemistry, so fun. Anatomy is my weak link. I'm just slow at learning.

@Birdofparadise8 yeah it does really suck to have to worry about being contagious for others hey. I know you know it's not your fault, but hope you can remind yourself of that if you start getting big feelings of guilt. 

Woah hectic! Pedal to the metal with it all hey. And anatomy is tricky! So many weird, unpronouncable names haha. I haven't studied it but my friend is doing neuroscience and sometimes when she's talking about it my brain just goes blank cos it all sounds like gibberish! 

Hopefully you have friendly teachers who you can ask for some extra support if you need it 

[Birdofparadise8]

Yeah, I know; I couldn't help getting it with 96,000 people there.

Yes, so much gibberish @Jynx 

I hope so too. I worry I'll sound too dumb. 

[Birdofparadise8]

@ENKELI how have you been in the heat today?

[Jynx]

@Birdofparadise8 oof, maybe it was a 'superspreader' event. That's rough, sounds like you got unlucky. 

Naw, the whole point is to learn! And everyone learns in their own way. Only stupid question is the one you don't ask! 

[Birdofparadise8]

That's true @Jynx 

I'm just hard on myself, and I'm slow at learning. I wish I could work out a way so I could understand things quicker, and so I can remember them.
