Brewery? Piss up?

Well if you're Leeds Metropolitan University it's highly unlikely that you would ever manage to organise one.

Today was our first day back for lectures. Someone in charge decided it would be a mighty grand idea for us to submit our module electives by 31st March (ie 6 months AGO, not in 6 months time) so that 'they' could decide the timetables and let us know where we should be and when.

The last 4 times we have had a new timetable we've have been given the times for lectures and tutorials for each subject less than one week before semesters started, and then we decided where we were going to be and when.

And it worked.

So now they have had our requirements for 6 months. Do I have a timetable? No. Does Jonathan have a timetable? No. Does anybody else on our particular degree course have a timetable? Do they fuck.

Actually that's not 100% true. I do have one subject on my personal timetable. But there's a slight problem. I'm not doing that subject.

Given that our bit of the uni, the Faculty of Business and Law, has such great modules on offer such as 'Management of Change', 'Business Strategy', Business Decision Making' and - a particular favourite of mine - 'Innovation and Change' it would be really nice if they practiced what they preached, but they don't.

So Jonathan and I have planned our own timetables and are going to turn up according to that and if they don't like it they can all bugger off.

So there.
