bending_sicklePhD shenanigans
so i got accepted to the PhD program. start date is set for april 1, but it's flexible. beurocracy is in the way (visa stuff, and funding) so everything is still up in the air. the funding stuff i've worked on, but the visa stuff i'm just staring at it scared shitless. (it's been a bad few weeks)
i had a video conference with the supervisors and one of the possible funders, which was nerve-wracking but not terrible.
i'm going to have to learn how to drive, though, because field research. i'm signing up for a course tomorrow and hope to do it as fast as possible because, again, april.
mental health shenanigans
i went to the doctor's on monday. came back with citalopram (20 mg) and lorazepam (1 mg). the psychiatrists have their meeting on thursdays, so they'll call me hopefully next week for an appointment. i've been headachey, nauseous, famished, and occasionally drowsy ever since. also woke up at 7:30 a.m. today which was uncool. i had a nap yesterday (one hour and a half), and another today (three hours), and keep waking up desperately disoriented and with no recollection of the day for a good while. fun times.
other shenanigans
my brother is coming to visit for ten days wee.

I hope you feel better soon, and that the cheeky medicines stop being cheeky with your body, Stay cool; stay in school. Or rather, get to school first and then stay there. I guess that's the right order of things.
Also, hugs.
