I woke up with a sore throat and the beginnings of post-nasal drip this  morning.  I might have the guy who coughed unceasingly through class on  Tuesday to thank for that.
Still nothing in the trap.  I'm just  going to assume that the mouse has gone on its merry way, because it  takes very little to trigger that cheapo trap.  A mouse sniffing the  thing would probably do it.
Yesterday I did my first "attendance  check-in," required for all Tier 4 visa students.  It's meant to prove  that I'm actually attending class, and not just gallivanting around  Scotland.  There will be another in February and a third in June or  July.  It all feels very Big Brother to me, but the Home Office has been  on the news a lot lately trying to battle people who come into the  country under false pretenses.  If I get in a writing kind of mood  someday, an essay on what it's like to be a legal immigrant in the UK  might be in order.
I also got my CV looked over at the career  services office.  Basically, they approved, but said I should tailor it  to each opening I apply for, which is good advice.  Today's mission:  applying for jobs!
