I have an exam in less than twelve hours and my next one less than 24 hours after that. i can't get my mind to settle and I've cleaned the house, painted my nails, sorted out my wardrobe, tried all my usual tricks and I just can't sit down and do my re-read of my notes, reasoning that I can just leave it until tomorrow.

Normally my trick to getting rid of this is to turn up some music really loud - I have Take That, The Wombats and the new Arcade Fire album to dance around my room to, ferchrissakes - but I cannot do this for two reasons. Firstly, Sarah is still revising and may not appreciate Mark Owen crooning at her to shiiiiiine. Also I have a blistering awful headache that painkillers, copious amounts of water and aforementioned displacement activites have failed to shift. I am not one for headaches and feeling this woozy and weird with it is really not helping my work ethic.

I think I'm going to go and take my nervous breakdown to the beach. It seems to have stopped raining and the tide should be far enough out.

I am sort of not coping right now. Bring on Friday; I've sorted out lots of good stuff to make me feel wonderful again but right now all I can feel is the vice around my skull that's been there all day and the slightly sick feeling in my stomach that tomorrow's doom will bring.

And if anyone knows about surefire headache riddance techniques (the dark room thing doesn't help, either) then please do tell me.

[eta: been to the beach. Headache isn't gone by a long shot but I feel thoroughly more sane than I did previously. Hurrah!]

*hugs* Massive, massive ones. I hope your headache goes away soon, and good luck tomorrow.

On another note; I realise this is possibly WORST TIMING EVER in that you have other things to consider, but I have been faily at getting back to you re: visiting. I don't seem to have plans for any weekends in the near future, although I think at some point in February there's college Informal Ball, so, um, when might be good for you? ...feel free to get back to me on that when exams aren't eating your brain.

*hugs* Also, remember to take spare underwear into the exam. Much less embarrassing to have underwear on head if you still have some where it belongs.

Well, lessee...

My future works out roughly like this: this weekend I will be spending in an alcoholic and consumer filled haze. Next weekend I'm in Cambridge, I've got nothing the weekend after that and then the weekend after THAT I'm in Cambridge again and then I'm back in lectures.

HOWEVER being back in lectures means that I have all the weekends free. So, um, that is my life.

I have really ugly underwear on today and jeans and a belt for the specific purpose of putting myself off. OR SO I HOPE.

Well, tentatively the first weekend of February? I am being really bad at committing to dates for anything just now, and I don't know why, but I really should book train tickets before they go up in price ridiculously. Do you possibly have a floor I could sleep on, or shall I visit just for the day, or what?

Hope the exams went ok. I fail to keep up with news in uni-time, so I wouldn't have heard any headlines of 'St Andrew's Student In Crazed Underwear Scandal'. *g*

The 1st would be fabulous. I have both a floor and what I am assured is a ridiculously comfoy sofa, as well as a sleeping bag and spare quilt. I AM THE SLEEPOVER QUEEN. It's totally up to you, to be honest. Staying for the day would be a bit mad due to the fact that Leuchars and Durham are quite far apart (that is the St Andrews train station; I'll pick you up from what is essentially the air base) but again that is up to you.

I have a castle I can take you too! And a cathedral! Both of these are ruins which clearly just makes them cooler than your still standing and usable affairs.

I did not run about with my underwear on my head, thank goodness. Ah well, there's always next time...
