Aye, man. We got evacuated out the union. Was incredible.

I'm not taking that sentiment seriously till you turn it into a meme.

Why do you feel ashamed to be a student?

[Ad Lib]

Pretty sure it was GUU memes that started it. Personal favourites include:

[Mushroom]

I fucking love the GU memes - mainly for the inside joke value of them. Sadly now they've become popular shit ones are creeping in. GU were the first I saw, but Edinburgh have 2,000 more "likes" so it may well have been them.

I posted it on the facebook thread but its still my favourite by a mile.




Also, noticed a few mocking the GU accent... strange - most people I know still have... y'know... their own accent.

Do I just pick my firends well or something?

I'm supposed to be doing a presentation in James Weir tomorrow, failure to reschedule the class 'til next week would be pleasing.

I got this email today:

Quote

Following last night's fire, all classes in the James Weir Building will be cancelled for the rest of the week.
We are making plans to arrange alternative accommodation and information on this will be given out as soon as possible. Both the Thomas Graham and Royal College buildings are operating as normal.


The University's Emergency Management Team met this morning and are coordinating our response to the situation. Affected departments are putting in place alternative arrangements for their undergraduate, postgraduate and postdoctoral students

It's nice to have an actual excuse for not turning up to my 9am classes tomorrow and Friday, rather than me just being lazy and not bothering.

[Dunning1874]

As I've still heard nothing I'm presuming a room hasn't been found in another building, but the tutor is pretty bad for not emailing until stupid o'clock. This leaves me with a dilemma over whether to work on the presentation or browse P&B all evening. Hmm.

Are you sure they don't mean send them your certificates if you actually go on to accept their offer?

Once I'd got an offer from Edinburgh, they said I'd only have to send them after you confirm their offer. Didn't have to do this with Dundee until I actually matriculated.

As for the core skills thing, they count for f**k all so I wouldn't bother.

I'm not even too sure, they didn't explain it very well, or in depth. This is what it said:

St Andrews had the first meme page btw, if anyone cares.

Not gonna lie but this fire has been pretty great for me. My 2pm class on Monday has been moved to Colville 511 which is where I'm at for my 1pm class, so I don't need to leave the room after it.

My 9am Thursday class has been moved to Colville 511 as well but it's now at 11am.

Nothing about my Friday 9am class yet except that tomorrow's is cancelled but those two changes(especially Thursday's) is/are pretty ace.

I'd like to point out that the fourth floor of McCance isn't on fire, mainly because there's an absence of thick engineering students who belong in a technical college.

Yeah it's just filled with p***ks like you.

No worries, I'm sure you'll be able to publish your groundbreaking collaborative research, "Fire = Bad Bad".

I met some people from Robert Gordon Uni last weekend up in Aberdeen. A couple in particular were certifiable brain donors.

I'm not a chemical engineer, other than the room displacement couldn't give a f**k. Fire on the fourth floor and the building is still standing, that's engineering bitches.

I dunno, he clearly states it is a fishing atempt and still gets one serious and one passive response. In many respects it is a good fishing attempt.

If that is his level of inverted snobbery at a poly imagine if he was at a real university like Glasgow or Edinburgh!

There's only one "real" University in Scotland and it's in the top 20 Universities in the World.

I agree, I joined Glasgow under false pretenses.

If they weren't paying me so much I'd be furious. As is it I am just passive aggressive to all the inferior students bringing it down.

Also Edinburgh Uni was ripped on the Apprentice fairly recently - deal with it.

I go to Stirling Uni because I'm a talentless waster that can't be bothered with the real world. Cheers.

I'm out on placement just now otherwise my innovative learning week would have been mostly along the same lines. Pretty gutted that it's not in a fortnight's time.
