Hi all! Thought now would be a good time to surface.

I'm going to be studying History at Corpus Christi (still feels weird to say that without a 'hopefully')

Congrats everyone! :smile:

Amazon may well be the way forward, I got The Skeptical Environmentalist for under 2 quid!

I'm so excited. Currently working my way through one book which is Ploughs, Plagues, and Petroleum: How Humans Took Control Of Climate. Finding it really interesting. How many Geographers will there be at Hertford? Also heard from my college parents the other day!

Just pointing out I'm probably the 0.1% of Tumblr that doesn't fit :colone:

Congratulations! Funnily enough we were told who our college children are going to be yesterday so you should hear from them in the next day or so if they're good parents!

That's 23 for a single unit on the British Isles :biggrin:

I think it's fair to say that everyone at Oxford is going to have considerably lengthy reading lists; getting through it all is going to be a challenge and a half :smile:

Is there anything on Tumblr other than blogs dedicated to Tom Hiddleston, Cumberbatch, and the cast of Supernatural?

I don't think you understand; I have a huge crush on Tom Hiddleston, it was a physical trauma to discover that he went to Cambridge...

He's so lovely! Normally when you actually speak to celebs they're completely self-obsessed - but he's just a nice guy!

Did you read his interview in Elle by any chance? He was so awesome and down to earth, it's like he doesn't even know how smooth and charming he is. So it's basically 5 weeks of Tom Hiddleston before moving to uni :colondollar:
