Nope I don't think so, just on Facebook I'm guessing?

News from your college SU (We're not a JCR at Jesus, that's far too stuffy and old fashioned :wink: )

Nice- I was also considering Taekwando. I'm just looking for something with a fitness and self-defence component really, but there are so many to choose from :teeth:


Yeah, I'd like to get fit and I used to practice Taekwando many moons ago, so I really want to get into it again. I'm sure the reality of membership fees will help us whittle down our choices eventually! :tongue:

Haha probably, especially with insurance and stuff. Still I can imagine myself as one of those people who signs up to everything at freshers' week :tongue:

Edit: is it even a freshers' week at cambridge, or is it like a freshers' couple of days?

Oh man, nearly forgot about insurance costs! Yeah, I see myself signing up and then quickly trying to get out of stuff. :tongue: I think it's around three days, actually, I'm not sure.

That seems so weird :rolleyes:. It's weird that I have to stop saying 'hopefully' when people ask me where I'm going to uni :colondollar:. Someone should organise a TSR meetup- that would be cool


It is so lovely to give a straightforward answer, haha. Yes, that would be brilliant! Will have to wear tags with our usernames to identify each other... :lol:

I met my offer for History of Art at Jesus! I got A*A*A so I am over the moon! But I haven't seen any other HofA Camb students about.. they're probably off doing cooler things, like a gallery visit to celebrate..

Anyway, such a relief! :smile:


Haha, fellow Jesuan here! :smile:

Thanks :biggrin:.. My offer hasn't been confirmed yet though so I started getting a little paranoid and thinking "did I really meet my offer? Or did i just mishear the school secretary when I called for my grades?o.O"
