They had a surprise sale on some Sony earbuds, so it was a super nice grab to replace mine that've died in the one ear. These don't have active noise cancelling, but they do have passive noise cancelling, apparently clicky buttons, and 11 hours of battery life. Without the massive halls of undergrad, I haven't really needed to use the active noise cancelling mode anyway, and battery life is more of an issue for me, so it works out nicely. Annoyingly, like a lot of tech these days, it didn't come with a cable charger- but it does oddly work off of my laptop charger? Which is just a bizarre option. Can't seem to charge it off of my phone though.
Also grabbed some AA batteries for my mouse, so I'm good for now, yippee! Will need to buy some Vitamin K after study week, though, I am running a bit low, but have enough until that's over.
Saw the most beautiful thing on my walk up to the apartment. The golden little leafs and helicopter seedpods came fluttering down like gold coins, all shimmery on their way down to the ground. And I saw a rare squirrel (the wild type variant, which is a sort of greyish brown colour.)
