Instead of working on my assignment yesterday (which is due tomorrow, and which I still haven't started), I got myself a present.

Ta-da !



Two mice !

Caprica:



And Galactica:




They're completely adorable, and lovely.

Last night, being nocturnal, they kept me awake for hours running on their wheel, and shuffling their bedding. But I was expecting that. And I expect the same tonight, and every night until I get used to the sound of them.


Now I suppose I should go make a start on my assignment before bed.

Firstly, I suppose, an update.

I'm back at uni, externally.
Yesterday was my first day of the semester, although I didn't do any work; I spent the day attempting to donate blood (but couldn't because my haemoglobin was too low), then running errands, then napping.
I managed to make somewhat of a to-do list in the afternoon (mostly a list of readings, and finding out assignment due dates).
Then I had a panic attack for no apparent reason, and hyperventilated myself to sleep.

I woke up this morning with the worst migraine I've had in over a year (nausea, aversion to light and sounds, vertigo even though I was laying down, the whole shebang). I had another, far less severe, migraine this afternoon. I guess I'll just keep an eye on it, and go to the doctor if I have another one soon.

I did manage to get some work done today, though. I did one of my readings (although I didn't absorb much of it, and will probably have to reread the entire thing at some point), and did some research for an assignment.


Hmmm. I'd planned for this update to be longer, but I've suddenly run out of steam. That happens a lot lately :(

I've just realised that, with the exception of my post last week, it has been over a year since I last made a post on LJ.

So I am going to attempt to get back into the swing of things. As of now.

(If nothing else, I will end up using this journal to bitch about films I see and hate.)

Over the last 2 days, I watched all 5 Twilight films in less than 48 hours, and survived to tell about it. My brain feels a little mushy, though.
