all of us are doing degrees.
some of us are doing exams.
most of those doing exams are trying to pass.
for quite a few of those trying to pass, who have also committed half their time to dancing all year around, it'd be quite impossible to afford 3 days off (plus 2 days recovery afterwards) so close to exams.
or wouldn't it?

some of the ones who don't have revision to do might be quite poor, and might have spent everything on dancing all year. would they have to sleep under the bridges for 2 nights because they can't afford staying anywhere else?
