I too have returned to my hometown, although I appear to have only one problem in common with Armstrong and that is the ever-present packing/unpacking annoyance that is the worst thing about going to university. However as I am home for only a couple of weeks I haven't unpacked too much as i have to pack up at least four more times before next academic year.
While I have said that the above is the worst thing about university there is another strong contender and that is having to say goodbye to lots of people that won't be returning next year. Durham's going to be a very different place without a lot of the people that I've met over the past three years, and it's sad that I wasn't able to stay in Durham to see tham all graduate. Please all come back for returners and save me from the House of Maths!

The adventure begins!
These are the rules of the blog:
Rule #1: There is no blog.
Rule #2: No poofters!
Rule #3: No names.
Rule #4: No poofters!
Rule #5: There is no rule 5
Rule #6: No poofters!
We selected rooms today. I did surprisingly well. Number 6 did less well having been relegated to the sheds. There were rumours of some argy-bargy between Chuck and Boozy about the room ballot, but these were swiftly quashed. After an emergency negotiation session (in the bar) all was well. Unfortunately the Engineer was too busy getting his yearly dose of culture, but he was probably too drunk to remember what it was.
In other news, project choices are in with me and Armstrong on the same project! Unfortunately Supervisors #1 and #2 were not present for this joyous occasion; hopefully not a trend that will continue.
And finally, Eden is graduating at the end of this year marking the end of an era. Fortunately, Durham will be graced with his presence next year; although whether the Inland Revenue is aware of this fact is a different matter.
One small thing the reader may want to be aware of is that we are limiting the number of posts* we are making in order to avoid the inevitable "post war".
*Actual numbers may vary.
