The first time I've been sad about the fact that I'm not going to graduate with my year. Moira's just sent out an email about scheduling group photos. :-(
I guess I should be graduating with James' or Mike's year instead, though, so it's not all bad. I mean, as long as I get back in to uni, I should finish, even if I finish crap-ly.
( Organising the next few weeks/end of 'term' for me )
I dislike the thing of, for student lets, going from 1st July to 1st of July. When there was a group of eight of us throwing our weight around, we could go 'no, we want August to August, thanks'. Yes, it's good to be able to move straight from Uni accomodation to off-campus with some overlap, but so often at the end of the let people are trying to move during term-time, which is no good. At least with a gap between lets you can stuff your stuff into storage, but if you don't have anywhere to sleep during term time, and you're in one of those subjects (like Chemistry, say) that have exams in week 10...
I guess that's part of the reason that you can rent university accomodation for a week or so during exams, or running over the end of term. By the summer term that'll generally have had more people drop out than have been replaced by waiting lists, too.
