The lesser evil
I have decided to give myself a CD for every exam that I pass.
In other news, I am royally screwed for the oral. My ability to process language has been severely impared by my current round of meds. This means that when I write, my hand is never behind my thoughts any more, and sometimes it is ahead of them because 'English-ising' takes so very long. Hense, I appologise to all of you for my recent incoherancy (well, more than usual) - I can't do syntax and conjugations properly, and finding words is kinda hard too. So! Talking to scary people (ie those that I don't know) about some text that I know pretty well is going to be damn difficult. WHY couldn't I just WRITE IT DOWN?!
The doctor gave me a choice, when I told him about it. He suggested that I didn't take the dose as prescribed for the two days preceding the exam. This should give me most of my language processing ability back. It'll also give me cold-turkey style withdrawl effects. I really can't afford to fait on them, or throw up on them... what if they didn't stop the timer? Then the mark would be... like... 2/20. Rather than maybe 10/20.
So - either withdrawel symptoms worse than for heroin, or inability to talk and understand language? You tell me. I can't decide!
(Oh, and I saw POTC:3 last night. I don't care if you don't like it - I did. I was amused, most throughly. I was shaking in my seat from laughter, which was A LOT OF FUN.)

Other than that: ::hugs:: <-- You sounded like you needed one.
On the plus side: Only one category can possibly be effected by inability to form full sentences. If you can still get the ideas out, you'll survive it.

YAY! Hugs.
