Who are all those little people walking around? Those children have finished high school, believe it or not. Yes, the school year is starting again, and we will have to start sharing our school with the undergraduates once more.
To make this difficult transition easier for us all, the Graduate Students Union has organized a series of events to welcome us back to school. They start this Friday (September 7), and include soccer ("football" I believe it's called in most of the world), ultimate Frisbee (like rugby with a Frisbee and without the tackling), concerts, movies, lots of FREE FOOD, and more. Here is the full schedule:
