Absolutely dreadful day! But the dreadful bits are over now, so I can relax and enjoy my evening. Well, hopefully.
Managed to hand in my 'Perception of Women in the Third Reich' essay in good time, not sure whether or not it's any good, but we'll see. It's out of my hands now.
Also spoke to Ross and explained that I don't really want to see him again, so that was a weight off my mind. He seemed to take it ok, but he called me a while later saying stuff about how we could 'resurrect it' etc etc, even though there's nothing to resurrect. Hmm. But at least I've done it.
Posted the advent calendar to my Moogie. It should get there tomorrow, since amazingly the postal service actually seems to work in England. Still miss Wales though - I've been teaching Sashka some Welsh and she's going to teach me some Dutch in return.
So I'm supposed to be volunteering at the Primary School of Doom tomorrow, but I'm thinking I might call in sick and just have an afternoon to myself for a change. I have a test first thing in the morning, so I'll have to learn the vocabulary for that, but shouldn't be too bad. I'll do it after I've had some tea.
I actually feel quite unstressed for the first time in a while.

I've had BCGs all day disrupting the peace and quiet of my Library :( The LRC is the biggest space in the school, since the hall is being used for Mocks, so it was mass hysteria all day as more and more kids kept telling their friends in other forms how the BCG was sooooo painful their arm nearly fell off, etc, etc, and how the needle is so big it bounces off your arm bone. No wonder there were kids freaking out all over the place.

I can forgive the ones going in hysterical, cos I'm a hysterical person when it comes to having needles poked into me and it is a worrying thing cos no one tells you anything when you're in Year 8, but the ones who went in calm and came out hysterical needed a slap. They were only making everyone else freak out and they weren't helping the situation at all >:( Yeah, I was in pain when I came out of the medical room after having mine done, but after it's done you never have to worry about it ever again. (Actually, I think this was the time I kicked a nurse to stop her injecting me :s )

One girl I really felt sorry for, she was from Aberconwy but she had to have her BCG at YJB cos she'd missed it in Aberconwy. She went in and you could see she was terrified, clinging to her mum. The doctor shut the door and she started sobbing and the nasty nurse was saying, "Sit down, sit down, stop being stupid. Everyone has to have it done, you're making a fuss over nothing. It's just a little scratch, nothing to worry about." I was so annoyed at the nurse. I know from experience that I only get more tense if someone talks like that to me and being tense and having an injection don't go well together.

Anyway, that was my day! Hope you had a better one! I'm going home to wrap Xmas pressies soon! Yay!
