At Least It's Not Snakes

So the shred of sociability I still have this term (after biting off way more than I can chew) was being preserved by doing my work in the computer lab at night, where I could still theoretically pop into the TV room and see people or watch an episode of something before getting back to work. Except now, thanks to the flooding, there are hundreds of river rats from the Thames that have been displaced and swarm around the grounds bumping into the glass wall of the computer lab. I can't handle this, so I think I'll be doing work in my room until the river goes down a bit or until we invest in a cat or a lion or something. (They're big rats.)
