Got my timetable yesterday... argh... they start on May 23rd :'(
By the way, does anyone know anything about sitting exams in college?
I've had a couple of friends who did it - one had a back problem (so had to stretch every little while) and the other is dyslexic. It seemed pretty easy for them, I think they got told where to go by the Tutorial and Admissions office (this is for Downing, btw).

My question is, whom do I approach regarding sitting exams in college?
You need to have arranged it with your tutor by mid-way through last term, according to that. However if you went and spoke to your tutor asap, and it was deemed that sitting exams in a separate room was necessary given your needs, I'm sure they'd be able to sort something out.
Does this also mean you finish early, and can enjoy the sun when everyone's still revising?
Kind of... So I have 3 exams this week, then my project deadline in week 3 (although my first draft's done ), then a viva, and finally the General Paper (a huge exam on everything in the first 3 years of physics) in week 6!
I usually don't post on here, but I found this website may be helpful to all of you; it contains advice for the Tripos by lots of students with firsts. The website is: http://thetriposguide.co.uk/
