The only r...I'm with you on the driving Claire. The only reason I got my liscence was because i didn't want to have to do the new laws so i got it over and done with before they changed. The only reason i upgraded to my Green P's was because i lost my license and it was cheaper to upgrade than to replace. <br /><br />I don't think you need a car if you live in brisbane. The public transport is fantastic. I live less than a minutes walk from a train station and they go as the crow flies so it ends up being faster than driving (not to mention the cost of parking in brisbane).<br /><br />I did the exact same thing as you did with regards to failing a course. I was terrified that i had failed MATH1051 and i totally freaked out about it. In the end it turned out i got a 5. I've since realised that if you do your work and pay attention it's actually rather hard to fail.<br /><br />Stress affects me in a rather physical manner as well. In grade 12 i stressed out so much that my brain was releasing neurotoxins into my muscles and i had to spend a bit over a week in hospital on morphine and daily physiotherapy sessions. A similar thing happened when I thought I failed 1051 and I went to the doctor to get diagnosed for depression. The doctor more-or-less said that i'm too inteligent for my own good, somewhat like the guy in road trip that has to smoke weed to calm down because even from the age of 4 he was freaking out about the gulf war. He put me on fish oil tablets (to increase my concentration to allow me to deal with focusing on everything at once) and i have been fine ever since. =D<br /><br />It's good that you're sensible enough to take into account your teaching position before going ahead with your tattoo.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1817447134597157272.post-51533038642162734252010-01-15T16:38:56.520-08:002010-01-15T16:38:56.520-08:00The Lovely Bones was awesome!

Maybe sometime soon.<br />I too hope you are healthier this year. You've had a bad run with sickness last year :(<br />I'm excited about your tattoo! I would love to have a small cross on my wrist. Can't wait to hear more about your one. A cherry blossom would be perfect!Graciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16226089834657427488noreply@blogger.com
