Occupation

The uni is being occupied. By students!!

Now, I know that many of you are reading that thinking, umm, so what? Isn't it always? To be honest, that's what I thought. But this is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT apparently. Students have taken over some of the UCL buildings and are sitting tight and refusing to move, despite the uni trying to get a high court injunction forcing them to leave. The students have been there around the clock for over a week. I personally am impressed. But also a little thrilled to have somewhere warm to eat lunch from now on. They have been protesting in the quad, covering it in chalk drawings, and some of the art students have taken over the Slade buildings. They are saying they won't leave until the uni promises not to raise fees. The uni says it will prosecute the students. Who will win this standoff??

I don't know. But I am currently doing a sit in in my living room and I WILL NOT MOVE until I move the sit in to my bedroom, and then I WILL NOT MOVE until sometime tomorrow. Yawn. (But seriously, total support to them. It's the Right Thing).

In other news, there is a few inches of snow on the ground which is causing some drama with the slipping and sliding and the freezing-ness. But I'm dealing. Got my dissertation title approved! Then had a three and a half hour moot meeting. Tres tres tired. Tres.

Tomorrow? Work. In a week? Australia! Sunshine! Yay!
