The teenage girl who is allergic to WATER

"Teenager Ashleigh Morris can't go swimming, soak in a hot bath or enjoy a shower after a stressful day's work - she's allergic to water.

Even sweating brings the 19-year-old out in a painful rash.

Ashleigh, from Melbourne, Australia, is allergic to water of any temperature, a condition she's lived with since she was 14.

She suffers from an extremely rare skin disorder called Aquagenic Urticaria - so unusual that only a handful of cases are documented worldwide.

When Ashleigh gets wet her body explodes in sore, itchy red lumps that take about two hours to ease.

She has to wash. But showering is a painful experience and she can only do it for a minute at a time."

I truly am speechless. Allergic to water?

Exams

Next week my exams start. I have 2 next week and one the week after. It is quite depressing. I am so sure i will fail 2 of those exams (the first 2). It freaks me out. But at this point i don't care anymore. I'm trying to study (as you can see by this post). The thing is, they are soooo boring that i have NO motivation to learn anything! I have to basically learn a whole semester worth of stuff in what, less than a week! Frustrating, yes. Maybe i should've payed attention in class. Maybe i should've actually gone to all my lectures. But it's ok. Next year is my last year (wow!) so i will do just fine! Plus, i have extra units anyway, so it is almost impossible for me to really fail this semester.

Holidays are coming up (hoooray!). After the exams. I can't wait! 3 weeks of me being able to just breath and not have to worry about programming! You have no idea how good that will be.

I don't really know what to blog about right now. I don't want this to be just another "this is what i've been doing" kind of post. I wish i knew what to write about.

Ugh

I'm just so annoyed and angry at everything. I very stressed out and making things blow out of proportion. In my head, they are all over the place. So much stuff due, so many exams, yet i always seem to be thinking about the same crap that just makes m angry n brings me down, while i SHOULD be trying to study for stuff, finish my assignments, learn something good. But no. I always go that way. I seem to constantly over react. Not in reality, just in my head. It makes me angry n pissed off. I act differently n if ppl ask i obviously say everything is good. I act as if everything was good but at the same time i act pissed off. *SCREAMS* I am really sick of this crap. I want to talk about it to the person who it concerns, but i feel stupid just thinking about having that conversation, it is ridiculous, i have no reason to be thinking this way but i just do and there is nothing i can do about it.

This is by far the most emo post i've made in a very long time. And by the looks of it, more of them will come. Disturbing indeed.
