Do you think you're going to make your offer? Already did!
What are you most looking forward to about Loughborough? It's somewhere new and exciting, and hopefully even better than my previous uni!
...and Least? The lack of gigs in the students union...
What accomodation are you thinking of and why? The Holt cos it's the only ensuite on for postgrads, and I hate having to take all my stuff to the shower each morning and would rather just leave it in my own bathroom!
What are you going to do on the first day? Hopefully meet some cool people and head for the bar!
Why did you choose Loughborough as your firm? For starters it was the only place that does the course I wanted, and was therefore the only place I applied! But I originally had Lufbra as my insurance choice first time round, so I knew I loved the place anyway.
Is anyone you know also going to Loughborough or are you all on your lonesome? Lonesome Though I know my mum's god-daughter who's been at Lufbra for the past 3 years is staying on to do a PGCE so I kinda will know someone.

Pssh. We just sold our star 20 year old centre back to Fulham for £1m, and do we spend money yet? Nope, keep the loans and free transfers coming! In 11 years we have spent £40,000 on players. Michael Ballack earns that much in 2 days! Grr.

Thats not far at all, I live in Lapworth actually which is even closer to you.

What puts Uncle Leslie into the legendary status? Is he a good laugh?

[baby_emmy]

Lapworth - family love going to that random posh restaurant there!! Anyway, ah it's hard to describe dear old Leslie... here's an example of the typical email you will expect to receive:

TO SEFS

Would the scum who stole the timetable from my notice board have the
courtesy to replace it today, whilst I am in London.

The group will be the losers if it is not replaced.

L

-x-

[baby_emmy]

Lol, was for James... should stop posting off-topic! Just a copy of an email i was sent by Les Mustoe - who is like the 'head' of SEFS which is the course James is going to do!! - to show what he's like!

Cayley rocks. Best hall on campus by far.
- Also, the washing machines are a peice of cake compaired to a normal domestic washer. And even thats not rocket science! Serously, you'll figure it out no problem!
- Although that said, it took steph in out block 10mins to figurer out the reason her cloths where just geting hot, no washed, was becuase she had put them in the dryer!! And that was with her BF helping .
