No, not yet- which makes me feel like I'm slacking! There are 12 texts in total for Spanish buy you only study 6, so I am not sure which ones to buy since my college haven't given me details yet. What about you?

Timothy Gowers. I'm not a mathematician, but I believe he's the only current Fields Medal recipient in the Department. (Also basically defined the debate on the AV referendum within Cambridge a couple of years ago.)

You'll love Caius (It was Caius right?)

I keep using "Emma," without realising it, in casual conversation leading to some pretty confused people. :tongue:

That is pretty cool! I thought it was quite a popular college. I was quite surprised when I found out it was them that accepted you (I had not doubt you'd be accepted :tongue:

)

We'll all have to compare rooms when we're there.

Nobody I've told has heard of it, or knows how to spell it :lol:

So was I - they have a huge languages department and I was the only MMLer they took out of the pool :eek:

Definitely! Praying the beds at Caius are comfier than the one I had during interview time... I used to have a camp bed rather than a real bed and even that was comfier :lol:

Pronouncing it is hard if you haven't heard it said keys before. They must have thought you were pretty good!

Where did you stay at Emma? The bed I stayed in was pretty comfy.
