Living with Congenital Hypothyroidism

Hi everyone I took these photos on Monday, it will be my last day on campus for a while. We just finished with our exams and I think it went well, still waiting for marks. I am currently busy with my postgrad in education, so this exam was the post relaxed of all my exams so far. I wrote exams and my other had 6 assignments to do, one of which was an IsiXhosa oral. I put myself into a routine waking up at 7:30 every day and 5:30 on the days I wrote. I also had minimum stress as I've worked hard, given my best and I only have year modules. It is the end of the semester now and I have a month long holiday till I start with my practical at a school for three months. We went for a school visit on Tuesday and the school is great! I felt welcome immediately. It is exciting and scary at the same time, I am in that period in my life where student life is ending very fast and I am approaching adult life. I have lots of adulting to do this holiday. Jobs to apply and forms to fi...

Hi everyone It's been months since I last posted, things have been hectic. I'm a final year at Stellenbosch University and graduating next week. Although I haven't posted in a while, I've been thinking about ideas about what to post. My blog now has a Facebook page called Congenital Hypothyroidism. Follow my blog on Instagram too: con_hypothyroidism My exams have been over for weeks, but I'm still recovering. I know this sounds lame, but I'm usually very tired afterwards. It's been lovely, sleeping an average of 9 hours a night, staying in bed watching series and just relaxing. No makeup, rarely leaving the house and wearing my pj pants. This is usually how my holidays start, first I hibernate and then I start doing things I never get time to do. So far it's been mostly lots of sleep, pj pants, nail polish, series, movies, starting to blog again and making my graduation dress. I've been sleeping so much and I promise you I'...

Hi everyone As I mentioned in my last post, last week was very hectic, but on Thursday I slept for 12 hours straight :D It was so great, felt so much more like a human afterwards. It was a well deserved long weekend. I had class on Friday morning, but it was only till 10:00 so it wasn't too bad. Looking back at this past weekend I've managed to watch several movies, have girl's night, be out all day long, get enough sleep and catch up on all my work. The last post was about me being "overactive", that is over now. I still felt I bit funny yesterday morning. I was vibrating a bit yesterday morning, like my hands. Otherwise I've been my usual self. After this weekend I'm feeling back to normal, but I promised by doctor I'll go back to her if I get symptoms I shouldn't be having. Exam starts in 2 weeks, writing my first exam paper on the 16th of May. This will be the first exam in 3 years that I'm writing 5 papers in total, first yea...
