Hey guys : ) so it's been kind of a frustrating few days! Week started great, I submitted my last big MA assignment on Sunday night... then on Tuesday I woke up with a sore throat and it's all just gone downhill from there. My throat feels ok now but I've still got a cough, a really blocked nose and a banging headache that gets worse if I do anything other than lie down and have a nap lol. I've been resting lots, napping and watching TV and stuff, but it doesn't seem to be helping. It's just really disappointing, partly because I had lots of plans of places to go and shopping and just enjoying myself now that my MA is over. But also because my head feels so bleurgh I can't help out around the house or anything. Parents will be out tomorrow so I'll have to look after my brother but I feel like I won't be a lot of use. Been taking paracetamol, vitamin D and multivitamins with zinc in, and drinking lots of water... other than that idk what else I can do really. If anyone has any cute animal pics or whatever please do send them over here, it'll cheer me up loads

I wish you were able to celebrate your amazing achievement as you deserve in a happy mindset. I know it's been a few more days now, are you feeling any better?

Firstly, congratulations on your final submission, great to get it over the line! I'm sure you were really excited to celebrate, so imagine it's frustrating that this happened. Never a convenient time to fall ill, but I suppose there's a silver lining that you fell ill after your work was in, rather than leading up to the deadline? It might be your body forcing you to relax for a few days. Either way, take care of yourself and take your time to properly rest after what I imagine was a tough run up to deadline day!
