Not well..

So I've had this violent cough for about 5 weeks now and we just can't seem to get to the bottom of it.
Today had been the worst day.
I've been out of sync with everything, my head is spinning from coughing so much and I've been getting slight hallucinations on top of alarming temperature surges.
Need help :(
 
^ That sucks :-(
When I was a bit younger I had a thing with a friend who lives all the way over in London (I live in Syd).
So hard lol :(
 
I'd be willing to move south again. I mean it's Brisbane to Melbourne (which for the Americans is roughly the distance from Washington to New Orleans) and I've done that move twice already.

I'm going to have to go on holidays soon.

Trip, you should get to a doctor. You've had this cough for *so* long now and that with these new symptoms has me concerned. :( Take care of yourself, dude. <3

My word now is nervous. I have my first professional workshop/conference thing to attend today. I'm of course just attending as a student, but it's daunting. There's a reception afterwards, but I'm thinking of just cutting out early. I'm not good at mingling. I know I should just stay and try to make some connections for possible internships/volunteer opportunites though. :\

^This. Five week long coughs ain't normal mate. Probably something and nothing but if your body's not fighting it off itself time to get some help, bring out the big guns, anti-bio the shit out of it. Don't leave it untreated. That way lies pleurisy, and worse.

You'll most likely be fine when you're there. Sure lots of other people will be feeling just as nervous as you. Don't let nerves get in the way of something you want. You go for it girl! :)

I'm feeling considerably lighter. Finally, finally made it to the Buddhist meditation group I've been threatening to go to for, oh, only twelve months or something. Decided to be proactive with the time I have off work, see if I can't get some balls rolling. Was really good. About eight of us there for a lunchtime guided meditation, this one on bodily awareness. Was sooooooo relaxing, got some lovely tingles all over and waves of warmth just flowing through my body. The half hour was over way too fast. Will definitely be back for mindfulness of breathing which is next week's exercise. Got talking to some lovely people the half hour or so after the meditation itself was over too, was a real pleasure. Even got to borrow from their library, 'Zen Mind, Beginners Mind' will be this week's reading material. Think this will be very good for me going forward, just wish I'd done it sooner. :D
 
Focused

Most of my posts in this thread have been about school lately, but that's okay because that's the life I am living right now. I am focused because I am banging off all of my assignments one by one, and slowly but surely the stress is being relieved.
 
Conflicted

Should I or shouldn't I. I have something I want to tell someone but am scared it will change the nature of the friendship, it's a big decision, get hurt now or get hurt later, or possibly don't get hurt at all :)
 
I'm better than I was yesterday, and also excited because I got a new laptop, which I am using right now! Yay!

Which city do you think is more liveable?
 
Definitely Melbourne, but I'm the eccentric artist type. I'd prefer to live out rural Victoria though.

Brisbane is just a country town pretending to be a big city, like a child wearing it's fathers clothes.

I'm feeling [expressive]
 
Inspired. The workshop went really well. It was on dance movement therapy which I had never heard of before, but I learned a lot of techniques that will be useful to me, both personally and professionally. I was thinking of sharing some with TDS as well. The reception afterwards was super awkward and I ended up being one of the only students there (definitely was the only undergrad student) but I'm glad I went. The keynote speaker was awesome and seeing some people make acceptance speeches for awards they earned made me tear up when they got choked up. I also ran into one of my professors at the reception and was pleased that he actually recognized me and we talked for a bit. Hopefully he'll remember that I went and will know that I take this stuff seriously and maybe I can use him as a reference or he'll write a letter of recommendation for me when I need it.
