Cambridge Chat (previously New Cambridge Students Entry 2004)

damn it....why cant i get any of this information about comedy and the such!? is there a regular schedule?

YOu got lucky this time.

17th Oct, Clare Cellars, students and pros for the hilarious Clare Comedy.

Cheaper and better than footlights! I expect everyone there.

I went rowing today

i went rowing today as well....it's good fun...but i think i probably suck. I was in a pair, and I was annoyed at the guy in front of me cos he obviously set the pace, and I wanted to go slower because I was trying to focus on my technique, so obviously I ended up all out of sync and so looked like a right idiot!

Also for bops expect fancy dress. And if you're at Clare, drag.

all 3 biology and QB! go me!

it *SHOULD* be ok. i have checked with all relevant people (I think? all the websites, both DoSs, and this fellow dude who interviewed me and is a professor in biochemistry..). and yeah it shouldbe okay. so ignore yoru nasty terrifying whoever-he-was

What rate was he setting? I remember at Balliol when they used to get the new intake in every year we'd put a novice in with a Junior international and do sets, which is basically a minute at 25, next minute at 35, next minute at 25, next at 35, ect, ect. Anyway, what they did was start off as normal:25, 35, 25, 35, 25, then you'd put a blast in at 50 and watch them panic. Too see their faces once they got back to the boathouse was priceless.

errr well the rythmn he was setting was probably less than 35 tbh....but what i wanted to do was this rhythmn: 1 second pull back, 3-4 seconds recovery. Because I was really trying to focus on: arms down, forward curve, bend lowerback, bend knees, pull, straighten back, straighten legs, bend arms....and so on. And I wanted to make sure I was getting it right...but instead I felt like I was being forced to do whatever came naturally...which was probably technically poor!

I wanna go out again though...but with someone who would allow me to get the technique right and slowly build up the speed!

I haven't been drunk in so long.
