Hey! So as you can guess from the title, I am not only alluding to my hectic week but also telling you that you need to go see the Owlet’s production of Crime and Punishment! My main occupation has been rushing around trying to get the Monday 0th week charge on first years battels cancelled. The bursary has told me that this will be finalised by Friday of this week. If you are a first Read more…

Hey! So for some reason 6th week has been a surprisingly quiet one for the JCR (though it looks like 7th is going to be as busy as ever). I started of the week attending a pretty awesome President’s Seminar from a former Corpuscle working in public policy at Google. Keep an eye out for these seminars as this was my first one and have only just realised you can get a free meal if you Read more…

On Monday we had the dreaded Rent Negotiations that actually turned out to be ok! We have accepted a rise in rent by 2.71% in line with VNI on the basis that we do not want to see a massive hike up next Read more…
Hey there, If you don’t know it yet, this week we have Corpus Cares!! If you’re a finalist make sure you sign up for FREE care packages to get you through that final revision push.
