Cambridge Chat (previously New Cambridge Students Entry 2004)

I'm taking a couple of cake tins. You can borrow whenever you want.

But you won't have ovens?

This is my biggest worry about being among new friends at uni... I can't just say stuff like that, in case those weird people are right there! gah. Or in case it makes me look like a weird person (how long do you think you should have known somebody before it's OK to admit that you've farted?)

Hey I just looked on your profile and you're a day younger than me! Hurrah.

well I was considering getting one of thosse ones that fit on a worktop if there isn't one in the kitchen - they're very cheap

Erm....how long before saying you've farted.....i never normally say anything...lol...hopefully it won't be a smelly one. Although i do generally try not to fart when i'm in a confined space with other people....lol

But you won't have ovens?

well, this place finally let me register.... took long enough. Have kind of migrated here through various links from the newstudent.org site since this place seems a bit busier. I'm reading philosophy at Trinity Hall this year. Dammit I'm scared now! My first (and really close) friend left for uni this morning and all of a sudden it's so real, we're actually going. *shit.*

But you guys seem nice. A little crazy, but that's good. Myabe you can entertain me wile I wait for any scrap of information the college feels like sending me (am I just being impatient? I am pretty impatient. But three weeks seems a long time since results - surely they could send more than a room ballot form by now. )

All this talk of ovens reminds me......i need to bake some brownies before coming up to cambridge.....if i forget....could you guys remind me too......there could be a brownie in it for you..lol

you planning to lead people towards your room with the delicious smell of fresh brownies eh?

Heya! Nice to see another TitHaller around!

According to an email from the JCR Pres, fresher stuff e.g college families, will be out this week! Impatient? I currently feel like I could do with another few weeks off!


Mmmm, brownies.....I think dinnertime will have to be speeded up!

Thanks for the inside info. There's a whole load of stuff I'd like to know from a current student, but if the freshers pack is coming I'll wait for that, and pester you in a PM for anything it doesn't tell me I didn't even know there was such thing as a college family until reading this thread So, I'm going to be adopted?! Sounds fun.

for most people the freshers packs seem to be such an anti-climax when you get them....they're not all that great.


And I'm still panicing about this silly freshers party thing....i still havent receieved any word back about whether i have a ticket or not!

well i give em a call...if they say i dont have a ticket...then scan yours in an i'll modify it to have my name on it

OK so I have come to the conclusion that not only will I not tell anyone I've farted during the first week, I actually shouldn't fart at all? *note to self: do NOT pack baked beans.*

well surely it's less than 24 hours because isnt each episode actually more like 45 minutes (cos of the advertising they shove in between when it went out in america)?

yeah proabably, but still, 18 hours is a lot of TV! i watched the first 3 episodes today , but that was only cos i didn't have much else to do! if it takes longer than a week to watch them all, i have to pay for another week

You can't beat me. I listened to the whole of Wagner's ring cycle (14 CDs of opera) without a break.
