'Appear weak when you are strong, and strong when you are weak' - Sun Tzu | Newsletter T1W5

We are halfway through the term, what the 🦆

To be fair, so much has happened in the term so far! We have hosted a ton of events and there are tons more planned, so I am quite excited :) (i also hate how many times i used the word "so" in the past two sentences wtf)

ANYWAYS, we have plenty of great events this week! We have our usuals: Milk Monday, Pub Meal, Comp Cafe, and of course Friday Night Gaming!

We also have a few unique ones you should definitely look out for! Circling is happening this Wednesday, with a good theme for whichever celebration you're most prepared for :D We also have our second-to-last xSoc Python Talk happening, so attend while you still can! Finally, we have our first EGM happening during Friday Night Gaming.

We have plenty for you to attend this week, so you better try to attend one >:)

🥛 Milk Monday 🥛

🕔 Mon 30 Oct 10:30am - 11:30am 📍 DCS Atrium

This is such a genuine question, because I do not I understand who is actually just drinking milk because they want to. You add it to things, like cereal or chocolate powder to get chocolate milk or hot chocolate.

Unless, you are one of the people who actually enjoys it, then you should totally just turn up to Milk Monday and drink all of the free milk you'd like!

🍝 Pub Meal 🍝

🕗 Mon 30 Oct 7pm - 9pm 📍 Phantom Coach

For this year, Halloween falls on our weekly Comp Cafe! In order to properly celebrate this momentous event, we shall purchase appropriate Halloween snacks and perhaps show a movie (if no one is actually studying in the lab)!

Pass by and grab some snacks (or even just some free vending machines drinks) and celebrate Halloween ̶b̶e̶c̶a̶u̶s̶e̶ ̶w̶h̶o̶ ̶d̶o̶e̶s̶n̶'̶t̶ ̶w̶a̶n̶t̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶c̶e̶l̶e̶b̶r̶a̶t̶e̶ ̶i̶n̶ ̶d̶c̶s̶ ̶l̶a̶b̶s̶

We are circling at Tbar! We have a booked a spot, so you should get your outfits ready and head on over for a fun circle (don't lie to yourself, Computing circles are quite good and you know it).
