Emmanuel College (Cambridge) Students and Applicants

Turns out my idiot bank had blocked my account because of 'unusual spending', gnargh It's fixed now, but it meant that the payment didn't go through for my interrail tickets which needed to arrive today and they therefore haven't so I need to find someone to house sit tomorrow and sign for them! What a nightmare

Alas, anyone who could answer my question appears to have been scared off

What a pain! Though I'm sure you've got a willing friend who will house sit for you (or there must be someone you can bribe )

Alas indeed Ah well, you have me and my definitive answer is: Yes, no, maybe

The boy isn't doing anything tomorrow morning. Or, if he was, he's now house sitting His ticket's coming too, and I have a hair appointment so if he's not here neither of us can go!

Thank you for that Danielle That's very helpful

Black and white laser printing costs 2p per sheet - this is added to your College bill. Colour laser printing costs 10p per sheet.

You can print to printers in the computing rooms from your room if you want to, then go and collect what you have printed, or you can just use the computing room.

I didn't bring a printer until my second year when I lived outside College in Blantyre - the computer room was fine for printing in 1st year.

Another Emmanuelite I believe I have as yet not spoken to

Hi Ben I'm Danielle and a prospective Medic (I'm guessing from this that you're a Mathmo). I'm glad STEP went well with you, I don't envy you poor people having that major hurdle to overcome just when you think exams are over and freedom beckons! Are you all done now?

It has been confirmed, mini-mathmos. Myself and Martin (ad absurdum on here) are to be your subject parents next year, so we will be taking on the role of getting you drunk helping you to understand how the maths course in Cambridge works.

How many are there doing maths in your year? Do you get any particular advantages from being a subject parent or is it just for if you enjoy helping people? I imagine if I do actually manage to hit my offer I'd like to apply when I'm no longer a young 'un

Not any benefits that I'm aware of. I'm just so kind-hearted and love helping people.

Bwahahahaha! Joke of the century!

Hola Danielle! Sorry about the slow reply, I don't check TSR as often as I should, the most time I spend on it tends to be about 5 minutes before exams unfortunately, doubtless a good idea.

I am indeed a Mathmo! Always impressed whenever I see medics, your competition is ridiculous so congrats on the offer, well-deserved I'm sure Well, STEP II went well methinks but I'm not so sure now I did enough on III which has me a tad distressed, I wish results would hurry up! Still, knowing that previous maths candidates didn't make their grades but still got in is a little reassuring, although sure as hell won't stop me worrying the summer hols away

I do think it's a little harsh us lot having to take an extra exam when everyone else with a cambs offer is out partying - perhaps they expect the mathematician's social life is less than busy (bah!) but I'm not nearly horrible enough to wish similar exams on anyone else ^^

The holidays call - I hope you're all out celebrating! Been busy so far?
