Good: I think I've found a flat. It'll take a week or two before the reference (actually, a guarantee from my parents) clears and I can sign the lease, but it's a lovely little place just off Leith Walk, with a gorgeously spaceous kitchen * that's also a dining room, a sitting room with two brand new sofas: one red sofa bed and one white (!) three-seater, and a bedroom with a skybed! Excellent! The bathroom is insanely small, and this British habit of putting carpet in the bathroom confuses me, but it has a proper bath, electric shower, and a toilet, and the whole place has been recently refurnished, including spanking new kitchen stuff, so I don't even need much in the way of kitchen appliances.

* Keep in mind that when I say "spaceous" I mean, compared to my old place. Those of you who've seen the place (that'd be the Belgians and elfie, really) know that doesn't say much. But still.

Also good: I had my "halfway excercise" today, which is this sort of test-that's-not-a-test at the halfway point of my training, and I aced it! Missed some questions because of inaccurate phrasing of questions/wrong information in the database, and two because I didn't read the questions correctly (story of my life), but overall, I did great. I'm also over a full day ahead of my training schedule, so I've been getting compliments lately. Yay! *preen*

Bad: I have a terrible headache that doesn't seem to be going anywhere, and I fear another migraine attack. Arrrgh.

SO MUCH WITH THEW YAY: England - Portugal tonight! Must go buy credit for mobile phone so as to spam certain people with text messages.
