Im stuck in Sheffield doing coursework and some other boring stuff for another week, but what are all you students out there getting up to?

As far as I know, some people are going home, others are doing the Bummit to Bucharest challenge, and the rest are staying in Sheffield - so whats your story

I'm back at home in the north-east visiting the parents and some old friends for a week or so, then probably popping back down to Sheffield before going ski-ing for the final week.

I have two essays to write in the meantime however... and I'm not looking forward to it!

is this just a thread for students to reply to? not interested in anything that someone else may be doing?

I am going out with some friends on Easter Sunday night. We are meeting in the Dev Cat so might see some forum members there hopefully.

Me and Mr Strix are getting married. :D

That's after the spa day, the quadbiking, archery and clay pigeon shooting. Perhaps a brewery tour.... Plenty of dog walking, and probably loads of politicking (given how many warring family factions we are gathering into one building)

Well, the first week, I'll be spending with dad, and no doubt going out if it's reasonable weather; on the second week, I'll be coming up to S6 to see Craig and Rebecca - :), then towards the end of week two (6-8th) April, we have to go in to college for revision classes :O

Mostly, I'm moaning that 90% of other students I know have left Sheffield for summer. (Though I don't think any one's back in my previous city of Nottm either!)
On Good Friday it's my birthday, so with the few people that are left I'll probs go for a Chinese buffet, have drinks at someone's house then go to Corp for Indie fun and alcoholic milkshakes.
Saturday I'll be drinking for my birthday in local pubs in Nottm, mostly with non students I guess.

Cheers Ruby. My bridesmaid got sunburned during the archery and air rifle shooting :D

And we had Thornton's continentals and easter bunnies in the middle of the tables instead of flowers.... a popular choice!

Thanks CGK:)

We rolled the hen/stag party, the wedding and the honeymoon all into one package and had the most laid-back, exciting, awe inspiring fortnight imaginable.

Full report to follow when I get the time to do it justice :thumbsup:
