I always think 'what the hell have I gotten myself into?' when the NatSci workload is mentioned...

When people mention saturdays I just cry.

Like saturdays are... well, saturdays. You can't go doing uni stuff on saturdays. Next thing they will tell us to get up at like 9 or something ridiculous like that!

If you get up at 9, you're already late for 9am lectures. .......unless you sleep in a lecture theatre. :tongue:

There's an idea - riderless bikes. Sleep while riding to the lecture!

Well that looks disgusting. Why not just send your bike to the lecture and stay indoors where it's nice and warm.

There was a video on King's Parade in morning bike rush hour with normal speed somewhere but I couldn't find it.
But I can assure (read: scare) you it was as bad as that.
And my daughter confirmed that's 'normal' . :tongue:

You might as well take a brain out of your head and leave it in the lecture theatre with your laptop and pen/paper. Then despatch them to your supervision by courier.

Oh yes good shout. Or just skype them, set up your laptop facing the lecturer and sit up in bed.

So, I'm starting to realise that I need to stop being a messy slobby excuse of a person and actually get myself organised at Cambridge. Does anybody have any recommendations for some sort of timetable/calendar app thingymabob that'll help keep track of work/miscellaneous tasks? I've been looking for one for a the past half an hour and can't really find anything useful

If you're on iOS I can't recommend Tiny Calendar enough.

Once timetables are live on https://2016-17.timetable.cam.ac.uk/ you can sync everything with a Google calendar and then use Google calendar in a calendar app.
