I've just remembered why I hate Cambridge

****ing workload - boo and hiss. I have about 12 hours set up work for Corruption (huge event at Robinson tomorroe) and then am working at Corruption. Then clear up (I reckon I'll be finished by 4am if I'm lucky). Then I have to learn piano parts for singing auditions for a musical I've just agreed to be the musical director of in week 7/8 and then am doing auditions in the afternoon. I also have an essay due in at 4:30 Monday and a piece of tonal composition due in on Wednesday morning (not to mention the 4 hours of lectures on Monday and another couple on Tuesday). I reckon that's about 60 hours work in the next three days. I'm still not entirely sure why I put myself through it.

My Bristol University Civil Engineering timetable is actually more contact hours than the Cambridge course! Admittedly there's probably not quite as much prep work, but still. Where am I going to fit in all my (many and expensive) clubs that I signed up to at FRESH!?!
I suggest an IV caffeine drip.

I sometimes think I'm going to drop dead from stress and exhaustion. And I haven't even gotten most of my work yet. On the plus side I'm quite liking economics.

You need to lock your bike to "something". But yeah, that is annoying. I wish I know how put curses on things...

Yep. Loving Sidgewick. Everybody's marginally better looking there. Although I do have to look at the Law faculty, and then I feel ill with envy.

Why? It's full of lawyers!

It looks like a leisure centre to me - I keep expecting to see people running (or walking sensibly) around a swimming pool through the glass.

Right, well all is going to plan so far. I have a couple of hours to get this essay finished and then I can relax (night off sitting in the bar).
