Deciding everyone else must have seen this I didn't mention to anyone except the two people who have become most important to me. I'll change their names to Jack and Jill haha to protect their privacy.
Feeling that we would have all been in touch far more than we were, there was some disappointment but the type where you are sure your friends are there for you if you need them, yet you just feel busy and kind of forget to text.
Knowing this, I am still safe in the knowledge that we will all prop each other up during the coming terms. For sure. We all have different skills to bring to our group. Not sure I would be so excited to return without those two.
So the timetable is all over the place again, changing from week to week.
Filling in my paper diary with timings, I began to dread the year ahead, knowing it was going to get technical, scientific and tricky. Yet as I read the words 'immunology' and 'research skills' I couldn't help but feel a little excited. There was something about illness (getting well, more specifically) that excites me.

In my own news, for whatever long winded reason, I tested my fasting blood sugars.
They were 5.5mmol/l - if you look this up on the type of websites I respect, it seems this is cause for slight concern. Bordering on pre-diabetes.
A myriad of feelings overwhelmed me like a surfer under a wave.
So began the research. Taking me back to those days when I was diagnosed with crohns disease.
In the past 2 weeks i have learnt so so much and I'm excited to face this head on and get to grips with what I need to do to lower that blood sugar. Also, loosing weight which will be wonderful as it's just in time for my trip of a lifetime to Jamaica! More on that in another post, I think.
The next post will have details of my meeting last night with my PA(!) Super helpful!
