Kitten!

As the title so cleverly hints, I have acquired a juvenile cat. Kitten, if you’d prefer.

He’s called Bertram, or simply Bertie, after P.G Wodehouse’s Bertie Wooster. He suits it.

We have had him for a week, and he is nine weeks old. he seems to have only two “settings”, so to speak. His “sleep” setting, and his “play with ALL the things” setting. I prefer the sleep one, as it contains less painful claws.

Recently, he discovered that when someone is peacefully sleeping, it is excellent fun to sneak into the quilt and attack their legs. He is also very bad at sneaking, being black and white he stands out rather a lot.

This was the first kitten instalment, probably the first of many. Yay!

hah sideways kitteh

 

Procrastination is fun

I am seriously running out of title ideas.

I am only writing this now as I have some rather important coursework to do. Yes, I am a procrastinator. And a professional at that.

But seriously. I am one of the most terrible procrastinators ever. In history. Literally. Actually.

Every essay that I have ever had to write, ever, has been written the night before the due date, or sometimes the morning it’s due. I don’t think that I have ever been prepared for an exam.

I always just keep thinking “There’s always tomorrow!” every day. EVERY DAY. Until the exam comes and I panic, then fail.

*Sigh…*

 

Exams. You know you love them.

I hate exams.

And I always seem to have too many of them at once.

I never have just one, or have them evenly spaced out. For example, last Friday I had three in one day. And then I have one next Monday.

Now this seems strange to me. Why have three in one day, and then a week of sheer NOTHING, and then another exam?

BAFFLING.

The person who co-ordinates these things is strange.

I know that I am not the centre of the universe, or anything, but I totally should be. Yes, I am that adorably self-involved.

 

Happy 2012, insert optimistic comment here

So, it’s a new year.

(It’s a new dawn, it’s a new day, it’s a new liiiiiiiiiiiife….fooor meeeee…..)

Sorry, slight musical outburst there. It happens sometimes. Uncontrollable.

Technically, it’s been the new year for two days now. It feels exactly the same as the old year so far.

I will now present a small list of important and significant things that I have done so far this year.

1. Experienced a horrific nine hour night flight in which I did not sleep much, and when I did, I had really strange dreams as I was listening to music.
2. Eaten too much Christmas cake.
3. Dyed my hair.

Only two days in and I have done all this! I can’t wait for the wonders to come!

Before I forget, I have bad jet-lag. I fully expect to accidentally fall asleep on someone at college tomorrow. Hopefully someone I know, and not a complete stranger as that would be somewhat awkward.
