Lies, Damn Lies

Freeing Tibet

Again, please go to www.savetenzin.org and do something to help this guy- you might just help save his life; it has worked in the past, and hopefully will work again.

Anyways, as a way to promote this, we are having a showing about the guy's life- wednesday, 3:15 in 4E 3:38 for those who are interested- please come along, we'll have letters for you to sign afterwards which we will fax direct to the Chinese embassy. Uh, please come along if you go to Bath university.... asking you to come from across the world is probably a tiny bit too much to ask......

Anyways, we were putting up posters to advertise this (myself and Ben, the head of Students for a Free Tibet), and we split them in two and headed off, with our little guide of allowed places to put posters; apparently just plastering them over student accomodation, as I was up for, is not on, so approved places it was. This led to quite a search. Some boards did not exist anymore- they had been torn down long ago, by mean hearted lecturers or drunken students. Probably the latter, but sometimes the lecturers get this funny look in their eye....

Worse yet, one of the locations did not seem to exist. Bottom floor of the maths department, it claimed. I went there to find three rooms. None of which were described on the sheet. After wondering round aimlessly for a while, I finally figured out that they actually the second floor. Bastards. But, such is the life of the politically active one.

Grah, apparently we are getting some coursework in statistics. This is a blow, as I picked my modules to avoid coursework, so imagine my surprise when the lecturer himself did not know we had coursework, so it was not mentioned in the sodding course description. I detest coursework- it takes up valuable time, and it ALWAYS coincides with the tests themselves, which is painful.
