First ever LJ post...

Still waiting
May. 15th, 2003 03:46 pmStill no news. Grr.
Another bit of non-news today. I rang the admissions office at Cam to see what was going on as regards college places. Seemingly, Trinity are still making up their minds over my papers. I suppose that's a so-far-so-good -- someone else I spoke to said that most of the first college rejections should be through by now, so it probably means that I may have got past the first hurdle and am after all going to be considered for studentships. Here's hoping...

I know why I'm ouchy...
May. 15th, 2003 03:55 pmMost people who know me will know this already, but I think some won't yet (i.e. Mark).
I saw the doctor on Monday. It seems I probably have rheumatoid arthritis, which explains why I've spent much of my life with joint/tendon pain. I didn't really suspect anything until Bat and Caroline (an old friend) convinced me that hurting as much as I did when doing fairly standard things (I think it was in reference to my just lying on the floor, as I remember) wasn't really normal.
After much prompting, I caved in on Monday and went to see my GP. The diagnosis isn't definite yet -- I have to go to the local hospital for tests, but it does seem to fit the symptoms.
It's eeky news, I know. But I'm actually OK -- at least I finally know what's been wrong.

Funding looks likely
May. 15th, 2003 04:41 pmI just heard. My PhD funding looks likely, but there are some details to agree.
Hopefully this will be sorted out tomorrow. This waiting around is getting me down a bit, but at least I should know tomorrow.
Maybe.
Erk.

My faerie test
May. 15th, 2003 09:56 pmEveryone would appear to be doing this, so here's mine. Quite accurate, I think, too...
Strong - Silent and often mysterious, you don't
mind being by yourself. You can get things done
on your own and don't like anyone to bother
you. You are more artistic than given credit
for.
