Housing, Workshops and New Characters

[drywitmartini.livejournal.com]

HOUSING

Okay, the votes are in and it seems that almost everyone is willing to at least try the cabins for special occasions. For the time being, everyone will be receiving a dorm assignment. The first week of summer semester (May 22-26) there will be a trial of the cabins. The length is unknown. We're still working on it and will give you further details once we get closer. After that trial, we'll put up another poll and everyone can vote as to whether they want to continue in the cabins after they've given it a try for a few days or whether to go back to the dorms. Housing for the rest of the semester will then be based on that poll.

Graduating seniors are no longer students once they graduate. As a result, all seniors who are staying on for summer will be moved out of their current rooms and to a room on the first floor by the end of the week. We'll give you a room assignment on Tuesday. To let you guys continue to interact, you will still be allowed up on the higher floors to socialize, but you won't be living up there.

Everyone else - new students and old students who have requested transfers - will get their dorm assignments on Tuesday.

Teachers - if you require temporary accommodation, please let us know and we'll assign you a room on the first floor. But please try to eventually look for housing in town.


WORKSHOPS

I am currently working on the weekly schedule for the workshops. Instructors, if there is a day you really CAN'T post on, let me know as soon as possible. Workshop sign-ups for Term 1 will be available for summer semester students some time before the end of the week.


NEW CHARACTERS

I'm sending out invitations to all new character accounts as soon as I post this message. Please DO NOT interact on the communities or arrive in Fandom until Tuesday. Monday is graduation day and it is for the seniors to have their glory day. You can arrive any time from Tuesday morning onwards. There will be a welcome post up where you can check in, get your room assignment in character and start to mingle. Also keep an eye out for common room posts after that as I'm sure a few people will love to get acquainted with you.

There is no 'big brother/big sister' program this time around, so please feel free to latch onto someone and beg them to show you the ropes :) Also, current players, please feel free to latch on to newbies and take them under your wing! Everyone here is nice and would love to help out, so don't worry new people, no one bites hard.

Thanks for compiling this!

Will there be a post on Tuesday for teachers to get apartments at Mauvaise Chance?

[drywitmartini.livejournal.com]

Buzz Quark about that and I'm sure he'll see what he can arrange :)

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

This probably goes without saying, but I'd prefer it if Tick and GOB's workshops took place on different days if possible. Spare my brain and job a little. :)

[drywitmartini.livejournal.com]

But of course :D

[heterodine.livejournal.com]

i will love you forever if Agatha's workshop was on any day but Friday

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

Mondays and/or Fridays would be best for the teaching days of Jarod's workshop.

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

I'd prefer if Veronica's workshop were not on Mondays or Fridays as those are my busiest days at work.

[stargazer-ellie.livejournal.com]

Wednesday evenings, please? :) It obviously has to be a nighttime class, 9:30 PM - 11:30 PM or 10:00 PM to midnight. One night keeping the students up late would probably work best. I'll post a little earlier than that, though. ;)

Tuesdays and Thursdays are out because while I'm on in the day, I can't absolutely guarantee I'll be on after 5. (I frequently am, but it's my roomie's net-access day, so if she actually wants it, it's hers.)

[janet_fraiser]

*raising hand* Okay, first off, I owe you an e-mail. I'll do that tonight. :) Second, workshops are only on weekdays, right?

[chasingangela]

I can do that.

And my preference for Elliot's seminar would be Tuesday or Thursday.

[drywitmartini.livejournal.com]

Yup, just weekdays. There are sessions rather than periods, so it's either morning or afternoon (or in the case of astronomy 'evening').

[janet_fraiser]

Cool! Just double-checking. And any weekday works for me with Jenny's workshop, though on Tuesdays I won't be able to do much nighttime interacting. But you can still schedule me for a Tuesday if you need to.

Randomly: I read that as get your popcorn assignment in charachter.

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

Now I want popcorn.

Thanks a lot.

Any day but Friday works well for me, for Tommy's, as I work weekend mornings and thus should probably have as few reasons to stick around on the computer 'till all hours as possible :)

I can't remember if I ever joined this community as Miho or not, so let's see if this gets screened.

I'd like to request an afternoon session, please. Miho+mornings=/=BFF

I'm sending out invitations to all new character accounts as soon as I post this message.

Errr, when should I start to worry that I haven't received any invitations to the communites?

[drywitmartini.livejournal.com]

According to my list, they've been sent out to you. Make sure you check here to accept them:
