Just FYI, a friend of mine got rejected by Peterhouse for Maths, just incase anyone's counting.

:biggrin: Awesome.

As an aside, that means there's about a 1/3 chance that one of you will be calling me 'daddy' by this time next year. :smile:

(I assume you've heard of the 'college parents' system? Otherwise that last bit would probably be fairly disconcerting :wink:).

ooh, what day were you there for interview? I doubt we've met, but it would be cool if we had.


The 'parent' system might explain why the two helpers were calling someone I knew their 'son'. Or maybe not... sudden thought, we don't actually have to call you 'daddy' do we? Because I'm sure I couldn't do that without cracking dirty jokes on the side. Honestly. :redface:

Yes, it's a requirement. In the statutes and everything. I might condescend to 'pop' or 'pa', but if any child of mine dares attempt to transcend the parental boundaries, I'm telling Mr. Mandelbrote.

Argh, you mentioned his name. I can accept calling someone 'pop', that seems casual and a little suave. Or not. Whichever.

I can tell I'm going to go to Peterhouse for a term, go back home and my mother will gasp, "Mata, what have they done to you!"
By the way, on the 'what have they done to you' theme, here's a link for people to our college magazine, The Sex. Just to confirm to everyone that they did indeed choose the coolest college ever.

Remember kids, it's not innuendo when there's no subtlety at all. :smile:

Oh, I got an offer. Might see some of you in October if I'm lucky.

*Returns to STEP papers*

Well, seeing as all those past STEP papers paid off - just! - I thought I'd bump this thread! Who else is coming in October?

You too!

I'm in too! Yay.

Excitement very short-lived. Reading list very long. Very long. Ovid, anyone?
Reply 32
Me too!

My reading list is pretty outrageously extensive, quite difficult to find the motivation to read all these "Introduction to some philosophy topic..." keep getting distracted by Philosophical Investigations and other such genuinely interesting books.

Anyway see you all in October, congratulations every-one!

I'm in too. I think I got a reading list...it said 'you might like to read one of these books...'. then suggested two books. But maybe another one has arrived since I left for Oz in mid july...

Excellent! Nice one! The letter was a bit scary, with all this 'I hope you have made a start on your reading list' and 'you should prepare extensively before coming up' etc. Luckily, maths doesn't have a proper reading list, just a couple of suggestions and an admonition to 'do not, whatever you do, allow yourself to become mathematically stale'.

Congrats to everyone else as well!

I'm probably having a historian baby - could be Juan or Trundle :smile:

Not plugging anything at all........

As far as parents go, if you're a lawyer or a medic then you've got the 1/8 chance of having the misfortune of having me as a dad....

Don't pay too much attention to Ross-Russell's reading list. They might be interesting or useful for the course, but they probably aren't. Definatly not worth buying by any means.
