They've got to make sure they rub in the jet lag :p:

Well, luckily for me it works just fine, because it is actually later in Finland so it would only be 10:45 am. Although they might succeed anyways due to the fact that I had to wake up today at 3:30 am UK time for my flight here, and knowing my need for sleep it will probably take a week to get over that :rolleyes:

Haha, I took one look at the time and decided not to bother with it. I'm fairly sure it's more useful to just hang around your college and talk to people, anyway.

Weird question, but do the colleges (specifically Homerton) have a wireless internet network? I bought a wireless printer so I hope so...

They might have Lapwing or Eduroam but I doubt you want to be sharing your wireless printer with everyone so I don't see how that's relevant. Surely you could just run the printer off a USB port?

I'm an idiot - I bought the printer a while ago and tried to set it up today, only to find that it requires a wireless network and doesn't come with a USB cable. It has a USB port but I'm going to have to get a cable before I use it.

Avoid PC World or other high-street stores, that will rip you off by only providing the £20 Belkin USB cables - unless you're in a hurry, look online instead.

Wow guys!!! Ah to all of you lot who were in the applicants thread last year - I'm so proud of you -sheds a tear- and I hope you have an amazing time! Sadly I mucked up one module of my A2s and ended up with A*AB and so won't be applying Cambridge - sad times :p:

. But you guys are mega talented people and totally take advantage of walking around Cambridge like you own it, and chilling in the colleges and all of that. I wasn't too fussed about not applying again, but now that the deadline's almost here, I'm getting a little wistful about what ifs. I intend on living vicariously through you lot so have a great time and go be geeky for me!
Much love,
Olivia
