Experiencing Illness

I know I'll have a module called The Experience of Illness sometime next year, as part of my degree, but recent events have got me thinking about this so I just wanted to share my thoughts.

Everyone - or almost everyone - gets ill at some point.  Usually it's a childhood illness or something common like the cold, and these are referred to as "minor" illnesses but I really don't think there's anything minor about any kind of illness.

Sore throats

 
Just while I'm posting, I thought I'd share one of my favourite home-made herbal remedies for tackling a sore throat....

Semester 1 - done!

Wheeeeee!  Completed the 1st semester of my degree program now - struggled to get the last couple of pieces of work handed in (thank you flu!!!) and now enjoying my week off before the new semester starts.

So far, I know I've passed at least one of my modules lol - although I wonder what an A & B average out as when they both carry a 50% weighting....not that it should matter, passing is passing and it doesn't count towards my final degree score, but getting a B actually bums me out lol.  Never mind, my effective interaction is complete - onwards and upwards!
