Cambridge Chat (previously New Cambridge Students Entry 2004)

Nope! Oh, I did "do" Joyce but that was this time last year!

Rosie... Do you think it would be easier for you to do Music or your Bio Natsci course? Just wondering...

my course. but that doesn't make it "easy" in a general sense compared to, say, medicine or vetinary medicine (as you were saying to thingybob earlier). at least, I don't think it does.

obviously people all have their own strengths, and mine is definitely not music. i imagine most musos aren't stronger in science than they are in music. but that doesn't mean you can say definitively "music is easier than natsci" or "natsci is easier than music".

There are people (Pollo Loco, a vet, is off to sing in Cantebury this weekend with the choir as he has a scholarship) who are good at both. I am not.

oh ffs, of course there are, i said "most" not every single last person.

Neither am I. I'm not even very good at the one I'm doing.

You sound like a rather irate little Rosie tonight

I'm hooning off to write essays now anyway!

Night all!

I don't quite understand but, unless you get a hard on over hardcore biochem and have a memory the size of a small country for all the anatomy crap they'll throw at you - I don't advise Cambridge medicine.

Maybe an easy (and more "fun") science at Cambridge like Ecology or Cytology, or go to do your medicine elsewhere!

I just went on a mad long right wing rant and now I have no friends =P

dont worry...it's still good here...especially when you are sitting in a lecture (not paying attention to the lecturer) and you think..."Hey..i'm at the best university this side of the atlantic....so many people so desperately wanna be where i am...and what am i doing with myself? Staring at my feet....ooo look: 5 pence"

Getting drunk is fun!!!

I took a walk in Peterhouse today before attending the free concert in Fitzwilliam Museum. Peterhouse has a massive back yard with apple trees . I'm starting to envy anyone who's lucky enough to go to Peterhouse... .

Hmmm, had to grudgingly admit to the natscis recently that they had more work than the medics in the first year. Maybe it's just that I was a slacker, but I didn't find last year too bad (and came out with a 2i and passed all my 2nd MB, so I could have scraped it a lot worse). Yeah, the sheer volume of seemingly irrelevant detail is quite annoying, so I do sympathise if this isn't really what you want to do

"I'm a medic, I am. That is a body, that is. I like medicine, I do."

I thought you were an economist..?!

The quotation marks indicate that it isn't supposed to be said by me. Just taking the piss out of Helen, again; don't worry.

"I'm a medic, I am. That is a body, that is. I like medicine, I do."

Get back in your boat, little boy

Have just been for my first outing in an VIII. Was ok, although the amount of traffic on the river meant that even if we were able to row decently, we wouldn't have got very far. I saw Willa out there as well, making about as much progress as we were. My legs hurt now

Now I have to go and make a poster (yes, point and laugh at the medics - but the Natscis are doing it too! )

Pol - it's just his inferiority complex. Secretly he wishes he was as cool as the medics.
