22 giugno AnimaliaSo - tired -
 -I tried revising some FP3 but got absolutely nowhere. Maths like that needs energy, and energy is one of the things I don't have right now. I'll have no choice but to learn the stuff later, the exam being tomorrow morning, but I'm hoping that I'll've stopped feeling so damn lethargic in the meantime...
No more General Studies! :) Which would be a cause for celebration if I'd actually started to take note of it in the first place. As it is, it's like "A Level? Just finished another A Level? What did I learn for it? I don't remember what this A Level involves..". Or something along those lines. The exam was OK. The first half of the paper was a bit shit, but I spent the last half hour having a nice little rant about proportional representation, so that was quite fun! Go me and my lefty stance!
Changes are afoot. We are *lowers voice* getting a pet!!! We have never had one before, for a variety of reasons, mainly that they take a lot of looking after and also that Dad doesn't like animals. Well, he doesn't dislike them exactly.. he just has no connection to them. But Peter's been asking for one for some time, and I think that Mum and Dad decided that he's old enough now to take responsibilty. He often gets pretty bored if everyone else is working and there's no-one to play football with, so it would provide something else to keep him occupied!
We're going to get a hamster. Nobody's got the time for something that needs walking, and I think that Dad would rather it was contained to one area of the house, so dogs and cats are out. Then it was going to be a gerbil - like next door had - but one of Peter's friends has got hamsters, and I think that Peter was rather taken with the cute little balls of fluff! So a hamster it is. Hamsters also have the advantage that Dad knows they exist - about five minutes into discussing the pros and cons of a gerbil, he looked up rather confusedly and said "What is a gerbil?". Quite. (Actually, I must go and have a look for a card that he sent while he was in Switzerland. He draws little mice on the bottom of letters as a sort of signature, with extremely long curly tails and tummy buttons. This specimen also had three legs, one ear in the middle of its head and a beard. I'm not sure whether this says more about Dad's inability to relate to animals or just a profound lack of artistic talent..)
The cage has already been bought as it was Peter's birthday two days ago, and we think that we're going to get the animal itself in the middle of the summer holidays, after we come back from two weeks in Austria. It (he?she?) will live in the front room. One possibility was to house it in my bedroom on the basis that I'll be away for at least half the year, but I drew the line at that. Actually, I think it may have been Mum's revenge for Ellen's suggestion - that we get a tortoise while Dad was away and call it Richard as a replacement - but it hasn't come to anything, fortunately! I couldn't get to sleep with something scurrying around in a wheel near my head, and hamsters are nocturnal!
I'm kinda looking foward to it actually. I'm always a bit nervous around animals 'cos I'm not used to them, and I think they can usually tell, but it'll make a change to have something alive and furry in the house; hopefully a nice one! Commenti (1)
