two more exams to go, thursday and friday.

i also have to send my letters for next year, for what we call "Master 2". the master is a diploma in itself(2 years), although we still have another one after the first year(but you can't use it to apply in another uni in Europ like you can with a master).

except i know they select only the best, and although my grades are good, i'm not sure they will consider them so good i have the level for that diploma.

i never had any internship. because i need money, because you can't ask much of a student in his first or second, even third year of studies. because trainings are rare and hard to obtain, and they last long, sometimes i've seen offers of internship opportunities that would take the time i cannot afford to loose for a part time job.

i've also had sometimes to pass exams for the classes i failed before.

i also know what i want to do, and since i entered uni, all my classes choices have been made towards that goal. i have never taken a history class because it was easier to graduate from it, as many students have done.
i also got my 3 year diploma in five years. i know i could have worked better, but i also have to blame my uni for that, who can't plan the exams in advance when they demand teachers months before to state their timetables and plan them ahead.

this proves i can work and i can be stubborn in my work. i've also selected the masters 2 that were the most interesting for me. i've taken into consideration the teachers, the classes, the work we'll have to do. even the time it will take me to go to uni.

then i realised and remembered i've always wanted to have a 4 years course diploma, that i only need this one to apply for my dream job. always go as far as you can in terms of studies, so of course if i'm selected i'll be happy. but if i'm not, i still have the school inside my uni preparing me for my job, precisely the exam. i will have to work the same classes anyway.
i will be able to get a part time job if i want one. i will be able to maybe get a japanese course in another uni, i would love that. and i'm considering getting another master 1 diploma with another specialty, if i can use my current grades to skip some in that other diploma, which remains to be verified.

friday i will do my last exam, then go buy some stuff (maybe some for mother's day) i need, and then go on weekend with my parents, breathe some fresh non polluted air.

i'm really starting to hate a little part of my anatomy called thyroid. hypothyroidism confirmed my TSH is even higher than before. about the coeliac disease, one test on 3 seems to be positive from what i can read. we'll see what the doc has to say, i hope i'll have an appointment in a short time, but right now if i'm told i have to do other exams, it won't surprise me.

looool. it's not like i particularly like or dislike that feeling, but i got this morning a tiny tiny insight on what it is to have a rare disease. i'm talking about detecting the coeliac disease, one of the suspects, if not the #1. the first step is a blood test, to detect special antibodies, the endomysial to be precise. the doc "ordered" a complete blood work as a person with coeliac disease (but doesn't know it yet) can also suffer from diarrhea (among other symptoms of course), meaning all the nutrients can't be absorbed by the body, so you can lack iron for example, or calcium.
anyway, the person at the lab had to ask two people because she didn't know the name of an endomysial antibody. when it's finally my turn, the man asks if the disease has already been detected or not, and in fact he asked me this because as he said himself, it's really rare to have that test ordered. to the point he didn't know where to send the tubes, as apparently it's a special lab who's performing the tests and then sending the results to my lab. LOL !!
anyway, the man took about eight or nine tubes, never got so much blood taken so it's a new record, and with a specific long & thin tube i never saw (which is suspect is the one for antibodies ?). as i didn't have time to go home and have a breakfast before my english test, i treated myself with a croissant and another delicacy from the bakery. then almost drank 1 liter of water and swallowed a pill of vitamin C, lol. just so i won't pass out in front of my mates and my teacher


anyway, i like venting on my blog about all my little health issues, i don't like much diaries, so i vent on here


on a related uni stuff i got my official diploma from last year, it's a nice piece of paper, coloful and shiny. i also got my results from my first semester. i passed 3 classes (i had 6 in total). it's not that bad. it's not that good either, that said it's the same for everyone (which isn't an excuse but it reassures me my brain is average lol) and most important, it's only a semester. i already knew i had half passed my exams because most of them were so-so, now what's important is the second semester. if i work enough, i may even compensate my grades from the first semester with the second, which would be ideal as i'd really love to work on June.

i'm just back from the doc. verdict : it could also be my thyroid playing with me (i'm really starting to hate that part of my anatomy lol). i still have a good blood work to do, with the specific things to look for in case it's the coeliac disease. of course, if it is the coeliac disease, i know what's next for me, the doc really warned me other exams would be needed. so it could be the coeliac disease, but since about 10 days i'm more constipated (yeah, but wait, i'm sure it's not the end of the diarrhea). my box of spasfon-lyoc (do you know this med ?) is my best friend lately lol, though i try not to load myself of painkillers, so i really use it when i can't bear the pain.

(but it feels good)

rhaaa, i have it again !! i thank my mom who told me to note down the days in a notebook. shopping of the weekend : more pads.
my mom says i should really consult a gyn. i'll see first what the gastroenterologist has to say on monday. my mom makes me laugh, with all the blood i loose she says i risk anemia. LOL ! like i don't know that. i'm the one always tired, not her.
