I was thinking about this.
Now the exams have finally ended, we get a week off (kind of a second freshers week) before semester 2 starts. Well, everyone except the art students, but thier whole course is one long holiday judging from my flatmate so they don't deserve it.
After that it's semester 2 (duh) and during easter I'll be expected to do coursework.
When the final exams end, i have to start paying rent on our house for next year as it's a yearly contract. This means I have to work over the summer - I need to earn at least £250 a month to break even.
Then the next year at uni starts and the same happens all over again, except i'll have to have a job so even when the week off between the two semesters comes around again I'll be working.
The year after that I'm out doing an industry placement, and the year after that I'm back again for my final year and will need to work again almost certainly.
Is it just me, or does that suck?
