Same! Although I forget to play tactically and just pick the Pokemon I like best to buy :colondollar:

(my college has a 90s night on Thursday so I'm going as Pikachu :cool:

)

I have so much respect for you right now.

For me, a 90's party would be the perfect excuse to bust out a sweatervest and fake moustache and go as Carlton from the Fresh Prince.

For me, the 90's = Pokemon and TFPOBA.

Anyone do/did Classical Greek? I'm way too proud of this. :cool:

EDIT: Oh my goodness I'm going to university today. :s-smilie:

6 boxes, 2 laundry bags full of clothes and snow outerwear, a suitcase full of clothes, various small bags stuffed with miscellaneous items, snowboard and guitar.
I am reeeeally hoping this all fits in my Dad's car tomorrow...

Oh well, off to enjoy my last day at home before becoming an Oxonian! :biggrin:

Feels like I've been here for ages already ... I really want the academic stuff to start though (for some reason)!

I did short course GCSE :teehee:

I know the feeling! I'm enjoying it though, so I'm kinda looking forward to the start rather than wishing it was right now

One day more!!!

(please feel free to imagine the Les Mis song without the unhappy ending of the musical as a whole, I'm feeling quite triumphalist)

Tomorrow I'm setting off, and I can't wait. I hope everyone else is as excited as I am, 'cause I'm floating near the ceiling and it would be strange if no one else was.

I'm also off tomorrow, but I've got more of a sinking feeling :frown:

Not that I'm not excited, it's just nerves. I'm not getting any sleep tonight!

This.

We seem to be in the minority though.

ITS TOO HOT IN OXFORD!!
Also, majorly humiliated myself by having to ask a boy from downstairs where the lightswitch was in my room becuase I couldn't find it in the dark! He was very nice about it though.

So, how are we all doing?

So, i'll be leaving in a couple of hours... just put my stuff in the car, and I have actually FILLED MY DAD'S JEEP, as in the only space left inside is the driver seat and passenger seat :s-smilie:

On another note, anyone here setting off soon to go to Catz??

Oh ok! I have packed all the letters, but they're not exactly accessible.. will I need them for registration?

MrCarmady

how about a TSR meet-up at some point? not during fresher's, that's packed, and everyone will be settling in academically in the first couple of weeks, but it'd be a good opportunity to meet more people from other colleges for those not heavily into societies...
