All the many feelings from the past few days are finally dying down now, which I think is because I haven't talked to him at all today. Surprisingly I am not upset that we have not talked, instead I think it has given me some time to calm down and think about it properly. I can't see the next time we meet up going well though, as it will be at a gig night where I will be drinking and his possible hoe will be there. If she is, I will be so mad and will end up getting absolutely hammered. I'm planning to get hammered anyway, but her being there
would just make matters worse.

I have to build a hamster maze for a college project; the effect of sex, age and housing on a Syrian hamster (Mesocricetus Auratus) in a spatial maze. It's been a long evening of battling with coursework, but the design for the maze seems to be all finished, and now all that's left is the actual making of the maze. The maze will work out to three feet by three feet wide and either five or six inches high. My assumption will be that males will do better than females in the maze from past research, and that younger hamsters will do better than the older, however I have not yet got an opinion on if there will be an affect from housing. It was a project that I thought up and researched about myself, it's a long piece of coursework and will last until April.

My final baby hamster was taken away today. I'm feeling a little sad that they're all gone now, but it puts me at peace knowing that they're probably in a better home now. I say this because I'm sure they'll get more attention at the other homes, as keeping just six hamsters is a lot to give attention to. If I just gave them 10 minutes attention each, that already takes up an hour of my evening. I do love the babies, but I feel they have gone to good homes.

In all honesty though, I have not got much done with my day. The whole day was supposed to be spent doing coursework, but I managed to allow websites and television to distract me for most of the afternoon. All that is safe to say, is that I am not looking forward to tomorrow! It is my first day back to college since the winter holidays, and I don't appreciate mornings one little bit.
