    TSR Freshers' Meet 2011
    UPDATE: Meet on Saturday 8 October at 2pm on Christ's Pieces! If anyone needs directions, let me know and I'll see what I can do!

    Hi everyone!

    I thought it might be nice to have a meet in the first few days before term officially starts so that we can all get to know each other. I don't know whether this will work out since each College has its own freshers' week timetable, but please feel free to come in and say hello and let me know if this is something you'd be interested in (and what kind of thing you'd like to do!).

    Among the current students are:

    Not involved in this in anyway but surely you can meet other freshers on the first day at uni instead of organising something earlier.

    Actually scratch that, I accept how bored cambridge offer holders must be since a levels are over for them

    I'm a current student, and not really - the Colleges are quite insular (and there are 31 of them!) so you have to plan with military precision to stand any chance! :p:

    I initially exclaimed "Where's Jenni?" when I saw the first post, but then breathed a sigh of relief when I saw her quoted in the other list of current students.

    I'm slightly jealous of you guys - from the Wiki, it seems you get mini-fridges and free laundry.

    On the plus side, at least I'm not doing Maths. :awesome:

    I was *really* confused as to why I was invited to a Fresher's Meet till I realised I'm one of the oldies

    Final year :eek:


    Well, kpatb will probably (possibly) see me around college anyhow but I'm happy to drop by as long as this doesn't end like the last TSR meet i.e. me doing 2/3 laps of Jesus Green while my friends destroy/cook pancakes in my house's kitchen

    You can't blame me for that - I was working at the Union Garden party (in the rain...). :whip:

    Besides, the freshers are far too enthusiastic for that to happen. :yep:

    I'd point out you also organised the last one but as I recall, it was me who got it moved to that date because I was too much of a wuss to stay up in the morning after Pembroke May Ball - I'm not really in a position to blame anyone

    Oh yeah, I forgot that the May Ball was the last time I saw you! Speaking to you in the dark at stupid o'clock made the whole thing feel a little surreal...

    The Tab only gave it an average of 3.8/5. :hmpf:

    EDIT: Typo... :getmecoat:

    I found it weirder to be having a friendly conversation with someone in a nice dress when I had a radio in my ear

    That's not too bad. It was a good May Ball - looked better than Jesus anyway...

    Don't worry so much. I'm not sure how many people go for that to begin with (never even heard of it before!). Hmm, college will be quite empty at that point - guess you'll meet the Classicists and know the city though.

    Teehee thanks dear

    But yes, I'm more than happy to be about to meet and greet all the beautiful new freshers! Just so y'all know, from the John's JCR point of view, we've decided to start John's freshers week on 30th sept so if there are any john's soon-to-be freshers, it'd prob be best if it is before then because we have a really packed schedule!
