I guess i should fill this out instead of just talking in the thread :smile:

College applied to: Robinson
Course: Architecture
Conditions: AAA with art
Deferred entry? noparoo
Nationality: UK
Where are you living right now: At home
A few details about yourself: Erm, don't really know what to say...

As far as favourite things go I'm a bit of an art freak, architecture in particular, obviously. I love photography too *strokes cannon 300D affectionately, if not a little wierdly*, and the cinema (favourite films: Pulp Fiction, Being John Malkovich, Spirited away) and music (fav bands: the strokes, kings of leon, zero 7, beck)... And of course Eddie Izzard!

My idea of a good time is just being with my bf or my friends and having a drink and a joint, and listening to some good music, though i like a club after a drink when the urge to dance kicks in :biggrin:

Thats about it really, btw does Robinson have a colour? If not how bout some sort of orange, on account of its vast orange brickwork?

ive already booked a colour :biggrin:. just waiting for nicolo to update it. Dark Green. Orange was taken :frown:

Hey there! I'm a complete film nut, and really into stand-up comedy (Izzard, Moran, Wood - just a couple of favourites!). I think that everyone in the world should read "The Picture of Dorian Grey", and also that I need to stop biting my nails (thanks to Stop 'N' Grow, crisps taste bitter. Ew.) Really hoping that I get the grades, and if so, that I can find some people to go gigging with in Cambridge - there are so many good venues with good bands!)


I'll go gigging with you! Spent an hour today trying to get Arctic Monkeys tickets and failing miserably :frown:

oo have you spoken to kellywood_5 - same course same college :smile:
Yay another film nut :wink: Eddie Izzard is SO funny, I have 2 dvds of his stand ups. Went to see Moran at Hereford - he was a *bit* (...) drunk, which only seems to serve to improve his performance :p:

sassygirl! ahh ive never found anyone else who likes the sly old dog that is john donne!! whats ur favourite poem? i love marvell too, to his coy mistress just has such a lovely rhythmn and sound to it! honestly we really should have been at the same college.


Another Donne and Marvell fan here :p: In fact, I spent a quarter of my second interview comparing 'The Flea' and 'To His Coy Mistress' (badly, I might add :p: ) I like a lot of Donne's poetry but particular favourites include 'The Canonization', 'The Ecstasy', 'A Valediction: forbidding mourning' and obviously 'The Flea' and 'The Good Morrow'!! - how about you?

Oo, snap :frown: Well, when I say I tried to get them, I really just gave twenty quid to friends who tried to get them. But we failed miserably and are now considering a wee trek across the country to see them in Edinburgh instead.. if they're not sold out there too.. My favourite author = F. Scott Fitzgerald, yay.

I just hope you don't meet anyone who got an EE offer :p:

Someone I know did a couple of years ago - she'd been pooled as well!

It must be such a relief. but then i think you only get them if you have worked insanely hard up until your application, ie getting mostly 100% in everything.:frown: :smile:

O yes and i forgot about Advanced highers. I really need to go and work, ill love to chat when exams are inally behind us.:eek: :eek:

Although even some of us doing advanced highers weren't quite that lucky. :frown: Not really complaining though, it's still an offer!

College applied to: Girton
Course: History of Art
Conditions: Unconditional. Applied post-award :p:
Deferred entry? nooooo
Nationality: Hong Kong :cool:
Where are you living right now: London :biggrin:
A few details about yourself:
Hmmmmm what can I say about myself? I like reading, going out, getting drunk, killing time on MSN and TSR etc :wink: My biggest obsession is with beautiful boys (I hope I don't sound like a pervert...???), which led me to the decision of studying history of art as an excuse to examine naked youths in marble :p: :p:
