Well that particular exam (19th century French) was BRUTAL but it's over. And I wound up having to write an essay about Baudelaire's melancholia/depression, which I know more than a little about. Good to know this depression's got its uses I have 17th century French theatre on Wednesday, then all I have to stress about is packing/summer storage and I fly home Sunday morning. On top of that because I have to be at the airport at an unholy hour I'm staying in Edinburgh on Saturday night so I'm going to leave early and have a bit of a walkabout Edinburgh. I spend a lot of my downtime there so I'm looking forward to it. Definitely one of my favourite cities by far.

Depression-wise I've been doing all right. I got a bit of a "booster" med to supplement my usual anti-depressants for the duration of my exams. One of its side effects is that I'm fast asleep within about ten minutes of taking it, so I've been able to get my sleep more or less regulated, which has REALLY helped. I'm looking into getting some proper psychological support set up for when I go home as well. All in all, just trying to take care of myself the best I can. Thanks for your support, all.
