Still Here...

Mon Jun 22, 2009, 12:58 PM
Thought that I'd better update this thing :)

My AS Level exams are finally all over! They were hard - sort of made me wish I was doing GCSEs again instead! Hopefully they went OK?!
I'm still not really prepared for the A2 lessons (which we've already started) - I'm still in "post-exam brain-dead mode". I wish it were the holidays now!
I've also got a load of Uni open days to go to, hopefully I'll be able to make up my mind as to where I want to go.

I've bought a few new cameras from my charity shop scavengings - some rubbish, some rather nice (my personal favourite being a Polaroid 104). I've been lazy and haven't processed all of my 35mm and 120 films yet though :P

Unfortunately, for the first time in 7 years I am gerbil-less! Brothers Rufus and Felix both died within the past week, which was sad :[ Felix stopped eating once Rufus died, but I managed to keep him going for a while through a combination of a heat pad and syringe-feeding - nice and stressful :/

So, in short, it's just Herbert now all by his lonesome (well, Herbert and his goddamn wheel, which he still insists on using at 3am - has he no manners?)

I've also got my South Africa trip next month (a wildlife research expedition). Sooo excited! I hope my camera behaves!

I'm still working at the Cat Survival Trust (where I've learnt that Jaguar urine smells especially bad) and at the Vets. Hopefully I'll have enough work experience to get onto a Vet Med course in the end!

Again, a big thanks to everyone for favs and comments :] They're much appreciated!

Good luck on your trip! I'll be looking forward to some photos :) sorry about your gerbils though. I am also gerbil-less now too :(

Thanks! Yeah the trip should be good :) Hopefully I'll be able to get some nice snaps of the African wildlife. I'm so worried that I'll catch some weird disease out there and have to come home early though!

It's so weird seeing all the empty tanks in the shed and the empty shelves now :( They were funny little animals and I'll miss them a lot.

Just make sure to boil your water before drinking if you arent drinking bottled water.


Yeah, I get sad every time I see my empty cage. When I get back from Chicago I'm going to buy a 20 gallon long tank and get some gerbils again >w< I learned the hard way those 5 years I had gerbils that wire cages aren't good for them. They get bedding EVERYWHERE! xD

Yeah I've had vaccincations for just about every disease under the sun, so hopefully I'm covered!! I'll probably get bitten by a poisonous snake or something though now!

Haha yeah tanks are best - they love burrowing. I learnt the hard way too after having my first gerbil in a Rotastack - seriously bad idea! It got chewed to pieces and the tubes always reeked of urine! XD
