Cambridge Chat (previously New Cambridge Students Entry 2004)

you look so much older than you sound!

you sound really young...well at least from the way you use loads of smilies and the words you use. It's odd how anything I consider to be ever so slightly immature means that I assume that someone younger than me did it!

Baz... Why does your college have so much against their fellow Oxford students?

And I thought the Cambridge-Oxford thing was weird

It only Trinity. And Oriel. And something Christ Church. And maybe Corpus Christi. And we're not too keen on Wadham.

Which college are you at?

I was at Balliol, at the moment I'm collegeless.

Is it true what Helenia said about you wanting to go to Cambridge for some post-grad stuff?

I'm going to Cambridge to do an Mphil.

An MPhill...? Why? I thought that they were for people who were too crap/too lazy to complete a PhD... Obviously I'm wrong...

Which college are you off to?

It's a bit different at Cambridge because the MAs aren't worth the paper they're printed on, so it's just like a "normal" Masters. It's a taught course.

King's.

Oh... Bouncy

You do like that word a fair bit don't you....

G

I do indeed, mon ami There's a wee gesticulation I do with it (I sort of bounce my body and head from side to side a bit)...

what does it actually mean, is it another saying for good or great?
