Head of Department puts £1,000 behind the bar for all his fourth year students to reward their hard work

The school of Literature, Languages and Cultures at Edinburgh University has sent round an email which invites all fourth year LLC students for a night of FREE fun.

The department have put £1,000 behind the bar at for all LLC to enjoy.

This burst of generosity comes from their belief that students need "something nice to work towards" and should be allowed to take well-deserved breaks once in a while.

That's Lit

The email, sent by Chris Perkins, the LLC Director of UG Learning and Teaching reads: "I am firmly of the opinion that any type of work goes better when (1) you have something nice to work towards and (2) you allow yourself to take a break once in a while. These principles are all the more important when you are working particularly hard, for example trying to get to the end of 4th year.

"But I also realise that it can be difficult to give yourself permission to take time off. Sometimes you need someone else to make the decision for you.

"To that end, this email is OFFICIAL PERMISSION to take some time off on the evening of 14th February, go to the Caves, and have some drinks on us. We've put £1,000 behind the bar for beer, wine, and soft drinks which we won't see back – please go use it to get away from 50 GS and unwind a little."

Cheers, Chris

So, if you're a fourth year LLC student, make sure you book your place fast and use this once in a lifetime opportunity as pres for your V-day party, pres for a date (or as consolation for a bad date), or as a chance to mingle with LLC's finest and bag yourself a hot date for V-day.

Now you can smugly tell all your nosy family asking when you're going to get married that you have plans for Valentine's Day this year.

See you there.
