Dippy post.

This morning the postman kindly delivered my Certificate for my Open University Diploma in Classical Studies. I'd forgotten it was due, what a nice surprise. So it seems I am now a Cert.Sci, Dip CS(Open)! Although I don't think I'll have that added to my cheque book, no matter how exciting it looks!

This week has been rather different from the recent lounging on a sunbed with good novel in temperatures reaching 30 degrees C.

I've spent probably 8 hours getting cross with my laptop and router since Tuesday night (but take comfort in the fact that loads of people find going wireless tricky), and 3 hours playing catch up with my Infectious Diseases course (and I'm still a good week or more away from being where I should!). I have viruses, parasites, symptoms, DNA and RNA spinning around my brain in a confused muddle. But it's all interesting stuff. Still haven't found the answer to why my immune system was so hopeless at fighting off that flu bug struck me for so long at the beginning of the year.

Am doing a bit of an experiment into the causes of a pounding heart too. I'm trying to discover if it is caused by what I eat. Since being back from holiday I haven't eaten as healthily and one night after a Penguin and a few biscuits too many off the ol' heart went making me feel quite nauseous. Maybe it's the rapid rise in blood sugar....or the plummet that follows the rapid rise....I'll revert back to the ultra-healty diet and see if it still happens. Although when I had the flu and hardly ate it still happened, so maybe it isn't food related. Maybe it really is panic attacks, although I hate thinking that it is, sort of seems like a failure to cope!
