Why???????
I was just happily watching some SG-1 special features earlier, which reminded me about Collectormania, which Amanda Tapping is attending. I've been really excited about this since it was announced, but it just occured to me that the date of the con is 5-7 of June. I got a bit worried, because I thought that my exams were still on then, and I wouldn't be able to go.
So I checked the dates of the exam period - May 18th to June 6th. So, I thought, it should be ok, unless my exams go to the very end, I can travel down to MK Friday or Saturday, come back Sunday, I should at least get the chance to meet Amanda.
Then I remembered that I get kicked out of my accomodation after exams. So I checked that date.
7th June. At 10am.
So, the only way I can possibly do it is if my exams finish early in the week, so that I can pack and go home before Friday, so that I can go down to MK. The plus side of this is that it's a much shorter train journey from Junction to MK than Aber to MK (there's no way I'm driving).
The negative side? The exam timetable won't be released for ages. Probably in April, though I'm not sure. So, by the time I know if I can go or not, it's going to be bloody impossible to find accomodation for the weekend
Plus, I'm going to have to find somebody to come with me, because I don't particularly want to go on my own.
If it were any other weekend in summer, it would be no problem. But no, it has to be the most onconvenient weekend possible.
