CUSU Shadowing Scheme

haha, nah I wasn't unfortunately! I was with that Brummie guy and a rather shaky woman - don't know if that rings any bells (we were hid behind the bar so you might not have even known if we were there )
I actually did think that I would have helped whatever team I was on, win, but it turned out that I'm not that great at football

Thanks everyone. I think I may be over thinking this somewhat.

So, basically, take clothes, take money, take toothpaste, shower gel etc.? Just basic hygiene and cleanliness stuff, as well as clothes and money.

Has anyone else got any more photos to share?

I have a shadow! called Shayra apparently. She's staying at a different college to my college though sooooo not entirely sure how that's going to work, but sure we'll get around it! Looking forward to it

Also in terms of clothes - casual definitely! I don't even own anything suit-like here

Yeah, definitely overthinking it. Yes, keep it basic. No one here wears suits for everyday stuff - you'll be lucky if they get out of their pyjamas.

On a side note - I now know I'm being shadowed by a girl named "Lee-Anna" - and nothing else. CUSU like to keep it mysterious apparently.

How did you guys find out you have a shadow? I've yet to hear anything... and I need to give in my CRB check too... I think :s

Got an email today, which had an excel sheet of everyone with shadows on - just checked and you don't seem to be on the list for Downing however there are only 2 volunteers from Downing, which does seem a bit odd! Perhaps try emailing the guy who's organising it (I'll fb you his email) and ask if you're getting a shadow? Have you got your CRB check through the post then? because you shouldn't need to hand it in, as they get sent a copy as well.

I've been accepted for History at Corpus Christi, I'm shadowing Paul. I wasn't expecting to get a guy when all the people from my college have same-sex shadows. Strange!
Hope we get on :']

I'm doing 10th - 12th too, might see you at sign-in

I got accepted for History too I'm at St John's on the 10th to the 12th of Feb

Hey just a quick question...does your first name begin with a D?

If so I think you're my shadow!

Yes, yes it does. Should I be scared?

Yay, I have a place too!

I'm shadowing Sophie at Girton College, doing Modern and Medieval Languages. Very exciting.
(Am I right in thinking that Cececlia in 'Atonement' went there...? <trivia nerd>)

I'm friends with your Sophie, and she'll be a great person to shadow!

Yay! I'm so excited! (And really wanted an excuse to use the Elmo face...)
Has anybody from here been onto the e-mentoring thing? How do we find our mentors on there, or is it just a simplified forum?

I've been onto the e-mentoring thing, but I don't really understand it? I think it's just a simplified forum, but if anyone knows how we can contact our mentors on it, please tell....
