Becoming massively,irrationally depressed over deciding whether to take my Jeeves And Wooster or Red Dwarf boxsets to uni.

Bring the Jeeves and Wooster ones, then lend them to me and I can look like I love my college massively. And suck up to my Freshers' Rep (Jeev) too. :cool:

Im up for that! I brought them to make friends, but Im getting to that stage of irrational stress where I think people will judge me for liking Red Dwarf.

^ Won't your parents come and visit? I've resigned myself to the fact that I'll forget half the stuff I need and will have to buy it/get parents to bring/post it up...

Also, Red Dwarf is awesome. You'll instantly make friends with at least half the Computer Science department.

That's not an irrational stress. I judge Red Dwarf fans. :tongue:

I wish I'd bought a doorstop, I might have to improvise.

I'm a nerdy computer scientist! Seriously, let's watch it and be friends!

I'm bringing loads of DVDs, including several Star Trek seasons, Big Bang Theory, superman films, Batman films, x men films, etc.

Same, including the ish. Now I have to sort through all my stuff to move rooms at home on Sunday, since I'm meeting TSR people tomorrow. And I'm sure I'll spend the next three days periodically dashing to the five suitcases downstairs to add something crucial. Ah well.

Yeah I'm going to be living out of my boxes for a while too. I don't see how I'm going to get all my stuff to my room with a 20 minutes parking permit :tongue:

Seriously, lets! Id like that. After Freshers Week and all the crazy madness of that, we should meet up and do nerdy syfy (it has to be spelt after the truely dreadful Sky TV channel, its the law) things. Im odd, I haven't seen the big things like Star Trek or Star Wars or Firefly but I can damn near recite bits of Serenity. And I CAN recite whole chapters of The BBC Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy audio CDs. Im so cool :colondollar:

We could meet if you would like.PM me.S'up to you. Ball is in your court, Im not obliging you to tromp halfway across Oxford to meet a fat weird girl you have only ever talked to through the internet!!! :o:

eek:

I think it might just be postgrads that get it. I thought, given the thickness, it would have included all courses, but the bachelor courses don't seem to be in there.
