Cambridge Chat (previously New Cambridge Students Entry 2004)

Early riser. bed at 12-1:30 , up at 3-4. Few hours work then come on here as there's no-one else online at 4 in the moring except silly americans.

well you're there for 10 weeks though!

are you? how come?
heya scarlet - nice to see ya back

Isn't the idea that you come on here when everyone is online....so you can chat???

Also....how can you manage with only 3-4 hours sleep?? I need minimum 7!!!!

G

8 weeks terms..but the uni encourages students to come up a week early and stay behind for a week after term ends too. Essentially 10 weeks

G

yeah, that is my point. There is no point me being online at 4 in the morning - people tend to come online aabout 7:30. As for having only 4 hours sleep, the secret is to have a very lethargic lifestyle.

hi! i seemed to have missed a lot while I was asleep!

yea, unless you live in cam, you cant go home during term time, too much work for all! Although tbh I plan to go back to london at least a few times. My physics teacher wants me to help him take a load of kiddies to CERN, but that'll be the first weekend of term...dunno how keen cam would be about that. Then on top of that i have to keep in touch with my debating society, and we're planning a meet up once every month or two months. Then on top of that im hoping to get tickets to various things, so gonna be down in london quite a bit tbh

<grin> not really, just discussing breakfast (or lack of)...

the train service down there is great though isnt it? 45mins and you're there. Did you apply to any london unis?

I did...KCL and UCl...what about you?

I do plan to come down to London, especially if there are gigs or concerts that i want to see. Just hope i get time!!

G

only to imperial...and that's my insurance...but i really dont wanna go there....i'm all hyped up for cambridge. If i dont get the grades i can't imagine how terrible i'll feel!

UCL and ICL. ICL's my insurance...which is looking pretty firm atm (runs away from gzftan ) I liked UCL but the geology lecture theatre was well, seventies, to say the least! Did anyone see any of the lecture theatres at camb?

Lol..i'll let you off this time!

Yeah..i've got KCL as my insurance...but i'm hoping to god i don't need it, cos if i do, its almost certain that i'll live at home for the last two years of the course...which i couldn't stand at all!!! I need freedom!!!!!!

G

nup i have to go out and find some crummy mouldy rat-infested student digs for a rent of about 120 a week most likely. i really, really hope i get the grades. London has a great atmosphere though, great place to be a student.

True...just amazingly expensive!

G

i WILL be living on porridge & OJ!
