Fossils with the OU

Well i'll be starting my course on September 1st. I could already be studying apart from the fact that one of my cats is currently "in-season" and is calling sufficiently loudly that i was kept awake a large amount of last night. She seems to know when i'm about to do something which requires a certain amount of quiet, then she sets off yelling and trying to break down the spare room door. We're trying to keep some kind of airlock system in the house, hence her living in the spare room (incidentally this is my study room).
I've been a very good bookworm and only bought 1 book this month ("Doomsday Book" by Connie Willis).
TOH is currently trying to shelve the remaining walls in the house, unfortunately the house is 200 years old and spirit levels hadn't been invented at the time. The walls are currently causing all the shelf units to sit just on the balance point over the staitcase. This along with the fact that they're all on the wonk compaired to the "vertical" walls is causing me to look at the floor constantly so that i don't fall face first down the stairs. It really isn't fair to put this much visual strain on a person who the lady at SpecSavers said, "Well we can't do anything about your eyesight, you'll just have to hold your head at a funny angle so you can see straight"! I have an astigmatism, my left eye doesn't look up very well, my right eye doesn't look right or down very well so i'm pretty well stuffed.
Anyway, that's enough of a rant for one day, i bet you wish i stayed away permanently now.
