I really appreciate you sharing that you had a similar hiccup and recovered– it does really help me to know that! thank you!

kat, you're so lovely! i hope to come up north and see you soon!

This honestly made me cry a little! What a kind and compassionate person you are. When I’m back in the US please let me take you for a tea!

I am sorry that your bravery in shoutingly offering a seat did not receive monetary remuneration. I'm really sorry that failure struck you, and sorrier still that your doctor isn't taking your illness and the needs it creates seriously. You're doing a hell of a lot of things between the learning, the travelling, the dating, the wearing of amazing clothes, the speech therapying itself, the music – and you do it all so very well.

Best of luck with the resit; any help or advice you can get from your tutor, grab it and use it. (I got a waaay lower mark on the first essay of this, the final year of my undergraduate degree, and used every bit of essay advice I could get my grubby mitts on, after my initial grumblings of "I've done so well on essays up to this one, what the hell, four years of good work and *now* they think I can't write an essay…" – and the following essays have been much better. Which I hope sounds encouraging rather than boasty. I've also been messaging my tutor whenever I've felt that my work's been compromised by my anxiety, and have had some very kind responses which have encouraged me to keep going when the going's been tough.) I really hope you'll have good support from your uni, if not from your (alas, probably not terminally) unempathic medical professionals.

Also, your fashion is AMAZING and your song is SO SO GOOD. xxx
