Day 15.

No more vitamins! So no need to visit the nurses every day.

There must be a cold bug going around the castle right now, as many peers have been feeling they have the cold, and today I had a migraine.

Had 4 paracetamol’s from the nurses over the day and it finally shifted about 10pm.  It lasted all day!

The migraine made it hard for me to concentrate in lectures, group and on my Step 1 work.  However i pushed through and attended all, which gave me a sense of achievement.  Normally back home, I would have stayed in bed and called in sick for work.  This time however, it was not alcohol related.

The first lecture of the day was on the Johari Window, but my migraine was at its worst, so I found it hard to concentrate.  I did find it interesting though on how it will help increase self-awareness and our understanding of others.  I will need to re-read the handout to absorb the information on it again.

I was to read out my impact letter today in group, but another peer had a life story to read, so this took priority in the group session.  This did not bother me, as we all support each other in group, and I can read my letter tomorrow.

I didnt go for dinner, as I felt drained and would not be able to handle the loud sounds in the dining hall.  Spent most of the evening in the quiet room trying to complete my Step 1, ready for my therapist to review tomorrow.  This took a lot of concentration due to the sore head.

Hopefully I feel better tomorrow.
