RAIN

So both my house and work are under flood warnings for tonights high tide - YAY

(Looked at the map and my Trench is literally in the flood zone :( )

Tomorrow may be interesting.

It'll be a lovely addition to the week (the BBC reporting on the ongoing situation is.....bemusing at times - also I do not understand how there are US colleges doing online only, but UK universities...they be going for as much money as they can. Students doing 90% online courses, but having to be in uni accom....yeah not about the money at all).

I might be deleted off the Uni system tomorrow as well - because the terrible no good handling of everything has gone to actual comedy levels. I emailed by tutor with the required documents and the advice I've had, but I am not holding my breath that he will actually submit them in time for me not to basically get struck off the course. *sighs*

One upside, I finally have prescription safety glasses! No more safety glasses over glasses.

Yikes, that's scary. Hopefully you managed to stay semi dry and not have any lasting damage!

So far, it's...alright for online classes here? They're technically still 'open' for in person class, which lets them charge you as if you were there, but 99% of everything is online.

Omph. Hopefully adding you back in is an easy thing to do?

Mostly survived (the mobile phone mast is dead..again mind, but this is what they get for putting it next to a river)

Over here they have been aiming for a minimum of a day a week of in person courses (so 70%/80% onlne...), so they could say the students had to go to the uni (they get the tutition fees whichever way they deliever the courses, but they all also invested in accomadation, shops and other facilities, so making the students have to come to uni makes them more money - this has been raised a lot in the last few months as the unis had large covid outbreaks within a week of the return)


apparently it would have been a full wipe.....but it's getting sorted...slowly. Not deleted yet as I had raised my issues, but will see.

Hooray! Though yeah, building any tall things near a river is just asking for it XD

Huh. The justification they had here was that as long as any class was on campus, they could treat it as normal, even if a student was taking classes all online since uni is 'open'. Though dorms are also open, but I have no idea what capacity students are using them?
