I'm feeling rather no zoned in at the moment, there's very many feelings and thoughts on my mind. Although I've had a break from everything today, it doesn't mean that I'm any less stressed than I was before. I've been in London today, with my darling mother. It's something we tend to do every year around Christmas time. We visited multiple places, one worth mentioning is Harrods. It's a beautiful place, filled with lots of money where you can buy just about anything. It's really for the richer customers, but Christmas time comes around and there seems to be something for everyone. We use to visit Santa and his grotto every year when I was younger, I remember it to be a beautiful and magical place. While in the queue for Santa, free gingerbread cookies and whistle lollies were given out, but sadly they've changed it that you have to book to go now, meaning no queues, thus no gingerbread men or whistle lollies. The outside of the building has beautiful featured windows, and this year they went with a Disney princess theme. I enjoy going to Harrods a lot, especially to pet kingdom where they have animals such as dogs, cats, and hamsters on display. Two animals that caught my attention today were two kittens, but sadly it didn't state their breed or price, I can imagine them to be around £17,000 each though. The animals there are pure-breed and very elegant. Hamleys is another place we tend to visit, but sadly did not today. It's a huge toy store, for all ages. We visited Winter Wonderland today for the first time, it was nice, however I felt it was too market like, with more expensive products. I didn't like how all the shops were repetitive, having at least two stalls for each business. I wouldn't mind going again, but if so I would get tickets to see the circus, the ice sculptures  and tickets to go on the ice rink. I've had a nice day in London, and I thank my mum greatly for it.
My first hamster has gone off today, to my best friend Lean. I told her about the situation of the hamster being on edge and not very well, and she mentioned about giving it orange to hydrate it (which they cannot eat). As she now works in pets at home she thinks she is all knowledgeable, but this most definitely is not the case. Pets at home isn't very good for their welfare of animals, and I don't support it at all. She seems to think that having a hamster wheel in the cage when they first move in will stress them out, but with logic I can say it will do the opposite if they're use to having a wheel. She's leaving it out for a week, and I'm feeling terribly sorry for my hamster that will be bored and will chew on the bars terribly.
Another thing I'm stressed about is coursework, where I only have 3 days in which to complete it. I'll probably end up getting a referral on one piece though, it's only expected.
Things with Alex and I are still strange, however we're seeing each other tomorrow so hopefully it can get sorted out. He's being far too social at the moment, leaving next to no time for us to talk properly. I don't like it at all, and hope this changes soon.
