she who the river could not hold

Managed to knuckle down and write a few hundred words for my Biblical Studies essay today, which is a good sign. I'm hoping to have it finished on Wednesday, and then have the rest of the week plus the weekend to do my English Literature one. That could work, right?

Elsewhere, I'm worried Sammie has an ear infection. He's been doing this weird thing where he jams his cheek to the floor and shoves himself about with his hinde legs, like he's trying to itch it REALLY badly. Clearly, something with the ear is bothering him. I'm gonna make an oppointment to take him to the vet on Wednesday to get it checked out. There are no other obvious signs of a problem, so hopefully it's not too bad and can just be cleared up quickly with drops or something.
