Guest Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 virtual hugs and empathy When you ask yourself "Why do I do this" tell yourself "It's because YOU CAN" We will forgive your temporary absence from the forum, but any absence after the deadline date will be classed as 'unauthorised absences' :wacko: Look forward to your imminent return. :rolleyes: Peggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gezabel Posted September 26, 2009 Author Share Posted September 26, 2009 Well done Sue Sadly, mine is not going so well I have been 'proper poorly' missed the first two weeks of the new term with all the new little darlings The good news is that the good old OU have been brilliant, the examing board accepted my request (sent on my behalf by a quick thinking hubby when I was in hospital) for an extension of the submission date so I have a couple of weeks to pick up where I left off and get the darn thing finished! Unusally for me I am feeling somewhat demotivated and have the 'I can't be bothered' frame of mind To 'not bother' would be utter stupidity on my part. I have completed the continuous assessment part of the course and come out with a good overall grade I just need to complete this 'examinable component' and it is the very last piece of work I will ever do to count for my Honours degree classification. I have worked for so long for this and now right at the final hurdle I have run out of steam. I know it will be done but I want it to be more than 'just done' I want it to be the best I am capable of and right know it seems a hill too big to climb. Sorry for the whinge - I am certainly not looking for any sympathy but if anyone has any serious 'kick up the rear' to spare it would be welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panders Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Geraldine without knowing the background to why you have been in hospital, i suspect that it obviously has something to do with your current feelings. If you needed surgery or anything of that sort then the anastetic (sic) is a real probable cause of your low mood. Dr. Panders suggests that you give yourself some time to recover fully before attempting to do justice to your final component, a little Geraldine pampering would do the world of good. Hope you are soo feeling your old self, until then I'm thinking of you and sending the old virtual hugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dublinbay Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Geraldine, just take a look at all your previous posts in which you supported others through their times of uncertainty. You supported and encouraged them and cheered them along with assurances that they could get over their hurdles. Now girl...........take your own advice. The years you have spent getting this far will be worth it and the end is so close. I understand about wanting to finish your degree doing your best work......you know you can do this. All of us that you have supported in the past will be waiting in the wings to cheer you WHEN you finally get there. As you begin to recover and start to feel better your energy levels will return and then the brain will kick into action. Don't be too hard on yourself though.......recover properly first and then engage your brain. Best of luck Geraldine and let us know how it goes.

Guest Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Whilst you recover give your hubby a great big hug for getting you the extension, and of course the hug will help you feel better too. Hubby hugs are much better than virtual ones but I'm sending you one anyway. (((((((HUG))))))))) Peggy p.s.

Gezabel Posted September 27, 2009 Author Share Posted September 27, 2009 p.s.
