Stress and teeth and imminent biting.

Stress is occurring. Some of it I can't talk about because it's not happening to me (directly), but TEETH will be applied to the people responsible for it if they're not careful. I'm sorry if that's too cryptic, but I'm not going to talk about stuff without the permission of the people involved.

I myself am not actually that stressed. Having had my stress level go through the roof last Monday and again today, I've now got to the point where I have so much stress that I feel calm again. It's like my body's self-defence mechanism goes "Too much adrenaline here, this isn't helping, if the levels go up any more we'll die. No, not having any of it. Let's shut down the adrenaline bit for the moment". My body's very odd, but kinda cool sometimes ;)

university application rant part 3

Of course, now they've actually called me for an interview, we get onto the really fun stuff. Or, "How I disclose my disabilities without prejudicing my application". Now, any normal course would be covered by the DDA (Disability Discrimination Act), but I'm applying for one of only three or four courses which is specifically excluded from it. These are medicine, nursing and teaching (and maybe vet, I'm not sure).

You see, according to the law, you can't have people who are actively mad or likely to collapse in charge of children that aren't theirs. So teacher training courses have an entirely different set of Government rules, that are separate from the DDA. As well as the actively mad or likely to collapse, they also sneak in a load of stuff about not accepting people who might be likely to need a lot of time off sick. And of course, that's where all my problems come in.( Read more... )

academic bi-poly survey

I did this survey.

Here are my answers: ( Very long, quite interesting )

I reproduce these here for my reference, and because other people have asked recently about my relationships and when I first realised I was bi and poly. So it saves me writing that out again ;)
