Peterhouse (Cambridge) Students and Applicants

I'm thinking that I may scrape into the lowest possible team. It looks fun anyway, and it'd stop me wasting my entire life sleeping as I seem to be programmed to do

I don't like sleep. It seems to waste an awful amount of time, the natural sleep rhythms are easily moved (in my case at least), so you end up tired all the time, you can't get to sleep for ages, and waking up in the morning is one of the most unpleasant things I know of. I wish I didn't have to sleep

Yep, row then, and get in the highest boat you can (I'm pretty sure there's only two anyway - if there's an M3 I haven't heard of it). You won't be doing much sleeping.

We do have an M3, and a W2 - but M3 are the 'beer boat' and therefore very low commitment. Hopefully we'll get a low commitment W3 next term...but not sure it'll happen. And yes, rowing is definitely the best way to go about not sleeping. 6.30 at the boat house anyone?

yeah i wrote back, other than that all i had was the cambridge bursary thing, and hep B letter

Has anyone written to officially confirm their acceptance of the offer though? Are you supposed to?

Ah, I'll warn you now not to worry too much about hepB. A lot of PCTs have decided to stop giving the jabs to prospective students and say its the job of the university, while the university thinks it's the job of the PCTs... Ask your GP/nurse if you can have one. If you can, that's hyper ace. If you can't, don't worry, they tested us all when we got here and people who hadn't had it just got booked in to have it here. Just a heads up about arsey PCTs.

btw has anyone had a letter from peterhouse recently? someone on another thread said they had one about coming up to cambridge or something.

I've had a hep B letter and a photo letter.
It took me a very long time to persuade my doctor to let me have the jabs. Everyone says its someone elses responsibility! I now swear the nurse uses an extra-blunt needle with as much force as she can muster! I'm also now waiting to see how much they charge me for it

Craghyrax - one of the letters is probably the one asking for a photo for your student card by the 1st of May.

Oh yeah that was me. I've got two since my offer letter. The first was just asking me to choose which scheduled papers I wanted to do in first year (for MML), and the second was about accomodation prices and requesting that I send a photo for my University card. Has anyone written to officially confirm their acceptance of the offer though? Are you supposed to?

There is a very real possibility that i'll get a B in Electronics, so I'm taking precautions now

Silly medic, sleep depriving yourself. She forgot to add rowing is the ultimate bestest way ever to make sure you get monumentously drunk and vomit all ovet the shop at least once a term. Apparently. Eugh.
