Hives!

It's official. I'm allergic to presentations. I've been beavering away at it bit by bit (trying not to distract myself by watching youtube videos of Il Divo...) and I'm almost finished. I'm as far as my last slide. Anyway... I was looking up information about how a certain antibiotic works and realised I was scratching my belly. When I looked down IT was covered in hives... as is one leg.

I haven't had hives for ages and ages but I can't think of anything I've eaten or been near today that could have set it off. It must be the hard work. It clearly has to stop as of now.

Random Googles Part 4

The most frequently searched topic linking to my blog is still DFS sofa allergies. You people really need to talk to DFS. I'm pleased to say that I seem to be totally fine with my lovely DFS sofa. Still... I'm refraining from licking the sofa just in case...

Worryingly someone has searched "I hate my firm and med students". I'd like to clarify that my firm are a pretty decent bunch and the majority of med students I know are lovely. As with any rule there are exceptions, but the all the nice students make up for the not so nice ones.

I suggest that if anyone hates their firm they either try harder to get on with people or see if they can be moved of firms. If you hate all medical students then maybe you shouldn't be one. If you're a doctor searching that and hate your firm, thats unfortunate. If you also hate medical students thats probably an occupational hazzard. I know we can be a pretty annoying bunch but deep down we're totally loveable. A bit like furby's. Annoying on the surface but deep down everyone wants one to nurture. At least I'd like to keep believing that.

Allergies

I'm allergic to the library. They must have cleaned the desks last night because after 2 hours of resting my arms on the desks they've broken out in hives exactly where they've been touching the table. Lovely. I've had to resort to putting on long sleeves, but with the sub-zero air conditioning in here thats probably a good thing.

I'm also allergic to revision in general. It's brought me out in spots. Attractive.

My tiredness from yesterday has also now caught up on me. I've got "afternoon-slump" and it's only 11.30. This doesnt usually hit me for another 3 hours, but it's the most difficult thing to work through.

I've also just found another huge gap in my notes for something that has come up in loads of past papers but has been totally skimmed over. Meh. Too much hard work!
