I like to think that Peterhouse gowns have a certain elegant simplicity to them...
When can you wear your gowns in Caius then? -

For formal every night, chapel every night, superhall twice a term, various other occasions which I can't remember -

gowns > suit unless said suit = black tie, in which case gown = suit.
And ducks are also good. According to wikipedia Emma have Wood Ducks, which I haven't seen before. I need to get round to having a look in their pond again. Last time I saw a pintail which was rather exciting. -

I can't decide between doing a Masters and taking my job offer
I'm becoming less certain that I'd enjoy the Masters and more concerned about the massive difference it will make to my financial situation
Ukebert, suit>gowns because if you just wear a gown you're basically streaking -

But Caius formal doesn't require a suit, hence -

What's the job offer? You could consult im so academic, he'll know what to do.
The job's at the Financial Services Authority, decent pay, decent hours... -

Yeah, I didn't mean a gown on it's own
Ok
But on a serious note, I think suits look smarter than throwing a gown on over a t-shirt and jeans -

Haha, indeed he will. It'll probably be "Apply to Oxbridge", tbh.

Agreed. Caius formal was rubbish when I went.
There's no point comparing our daily "formal" with anyone else's formal because it's just not the same kind of affair. Ours is just a normal hall but with gowns, and is the same price as our first hall (meaning we just give in a ticket).
Compare our superhall with anyone else's then come back and tell me ours is rubbish -

Are you getting any bursaries/financial grants for the masters? If not it's probably not going to be a good investment in terms of future earning, unless you want to do it for its intrinsic academic worth. -

Could do what a girl I met this week is doing, which is to give the FSA a few years of your life, and then let them pay for you to do a Masters full time (rather than part time, as Will is), thus not paying the epic opportunity costs we discussed last night -

though I may be prejudiced by a certain disillusionment with my own master's atm! Plus the difficulty I've had in seeking even unpaid work, let alone paid. -

just cycled 15 miles to check my mailbox at the marina. Quicker than taking the boat out there... And we both had outings this morning. Am bloody knackered!
