i do like old style surfy jack johnson and the occasional kooks song, i wont lie :redface:

i dont play a zither, but they look pretty cool. guitars and a ukulele for me. so, almost. banjos are quite tempting at the moment too, but should probably save my money and buy pots, pans and toilet roll instead.

really? yeah banjos are fantastic but always look rather expensive (in comparison to £10 ukuleles or guitars that you were handed down)

still... if you do buy the pots and pans they could double as a drumkit. or biscuit tins (glue them to desklights and they're just like the real thing)
not sure what can be done about the toilet rolls. mini telescopes maybe.

good plan. or one of those flat escalator things you get in airports. i should start a campaign. why should students have to walk anyway? :smile:

I had amazing plans for a zipline from accommodation to lectures.

I can't believe how lazy you get living on campus. I have no idea how i'm going to make 9ams this year living in town, when last year dragging myself out of bed for a 10 minute walk was hard enough! everything's so close but when you have to have a lecture in the medical school or arundel or somewhere like that...it's...just...so...far...

Im actually looking forward to my earliest lecture being 9 o clock as last year I had to leave my house at 7:30 most mornings!

you got your accommodation details through this morning?! YAY the rest of us should be expecting ours soon then!! :biggrin:

and that Jetsons thing sounds magical.. I always wanted a waterslide going out of my bedroom window though. That kicks an escalator's ass.

and me! I'm going to be so frustrated every day it doesn't come, I can tell. I almost wish I hadn't read that.. I was quite content thinking I wouldn't know for another week or two, now I'm impatient again!

I live on the top of a hill now, thought I was going to escape hiking up to my house every time I returned home :wink:

yes, ok, i can see how that could become a problem. try mind diverting tactics, like taking up juggling or fire eating. or chess. or something..

My course is media studies :biggrin:

Yeah, maybe all the Norwich (I keep spelling that wrong! I'll have to sort that out before I arrive :tongue:

) house people have been allocated first. Nice to meet someone else in the same building, although I'll probably be on a high floor, if I'm room 70 (Hills and stairs, I'm going to have to get in shape I think)

But I am already the World Champion fire eating juggling chess player :redface:

(I juggle fire and then eat it while considering my next move)

now i'm regretting not sending the form in earlier (for fear that, despite everything they said, a certain amount of sorting out does get done for the people who submit early)

and also for putting holland house as no2... someone recommended norwich house to me, so i put park houses first... but i fear being shunted off campus because i didn't put holland house low down enough on my list..

i dont think i sent my form in any earlier than most, in fact it was probably later than normal, i only decided to come to uni this year in about june or july, was going to go travelling but family circumstances changed. cant really remember when i spoke to them about it. but it was late, but they were nice to me. so dont worry about early birds getting the worm and all that, dont think its true.

I didn't send my form in particularly earlish. I mean it wasn't a last minute deadline rush, but I did manage to put it off for a good while before I got round to do it so I wouldn't worry.

OOO i hope my accommodation comes through soon! I can't wait to rush home from work and check. Libraries can be so dull at half 7 at night. Big snooze fest

Seriously I cannot stress this enough, living off campus is not the end of the world! To start off with you might feel like you're missing out on stuff by not living on campus but after the first couple of weeks people who are will be bored with the whole east slope bar/hothouse thing and be very jealous of those who have the whole of Brighton on their doorstep. I always got the feeling that campus life would be kind of like living in a bubble, especially at the weekend when loads of people go home.

Living in Holland House was wicked :biggrin:

True, and I lived on campus. The bubble effect does get scary by about halfway through the second term.

Still good fun, but a bit scary / weird.
