Indeed. It does get a bit annoying when people make assumptions like that.

YAY just realised this is now a sticky! :marchmell

And vintage_queen, if you're annoyed with being presumed to be a guy (given your name is "queen" I don't understand why you're presumed a guy), you should ask Willa about his experiences of mistaken gender :biggrin: In his intro his gender is stated in bold :biggrin:

Hehe. No I was slightly miffed at the question about whether people from Bulgaria are home students, when I've lived in England basically all my life!

Oooh I do want to hear this story of mistaken gender!

Woohoo a fellow Fitzwilliamite!
English @ Pembroke :cool:


Hey evryone - kinda feel i've arrived late at the party that's already over but i'll introduce myself anyway! :rolleyes:

My name is David Baker, birthday 21st November 1986
I live near Stamford in Lincolnshire, pretty close to the middle of nowhere if not actually there! I'm from state school - Bourne Grammar - and have an offer to study English at Pembroke college (AAA :eek: )
I do english lit, history, french and spanish for A-level (and general studies of course, but does anyone truly rate that? correct me if i'm wrong!)
Otherwise, i do a lot of music stuff - I play the trumpet (which is, of course, the best instrument in the world even if my playing it dosn't always convince ppl of that!) and sometimes sing at irregular intervals (including in a production of Les Mis in a couple of weeks time! arghh!) - and acting; and of course (though it may seem obvious, being an english lit student!) the inevitable reading... :biggrin:
I'm not exactly sporty, but have been fencing for about a year and want to continue at uni. then again, will always row as long as the correct...ahem...persuasions are used (i.e. money/free drinks, and so on...)
I listen to rock mainly, the heavier the better, although my CD 'collection' also hosts some classical (Sibelius/Wagner) and folk...anything that takes my fancy really!
can't really think of much else to write...open to questions but stopping here for now
Hope to see you all in October,
David

Heylo, may aswell join in too :smile:

I'm Steph, have an unconditional offer for maths at queens' and am currently on a gap year. (applied to Robinson last year and got pooled and rejected. )

im working in an office at the moment so kinda boring, just cant wait to get back to studying! am saving lots of money though :smile:

As for interests... umm Maths obviously :biggrin: , art but haven't done much in a while :frown: and writing songs (just lyrics + melody, i can't write music :frown: ) and attempting to sing my songs badly (can't play any instruments either :tongue:
). would love to be in a band so hopefully will meet people with the same idea at uni :biggrin:

I'm currently wasting away on the internet and haven't done anything remotely interesting in ages. I really should start to revise maths again :tongue: and hopefully take driving lessons this year ?

Well, i should be sleeping, up for work at like 7 tomorrow :frown:

good luck with making offers everyone :smile:

Hmm Hutcher how big is the department? is it like land economy with 40 students a year? Anyway that wouldnt mean anything considering the fact that there are 6 TSR future first year land economists! :biggrin: very surprising that 15% of us will have already been in touch!

Hello everybody!:smile:

I'm doing Maths next year at Newnham (given I make the STEP offer) after being pooled from Emma. I'm currently doing double Maths, Physics, Chem and that useless, compulsory one.

I'm from Birmingham, 18, Chinese - though I'm more English than my parents would like. I'm into watching cricket, rugby u, snooker, tennis etc... and despite being born without any sporting capability, I've worked hard at playing badminton to a national standard for the last 6 years.

I know orangazhang in person (hello!) though haven't seen him for a while.

I went up (actually down) to Cam yesterday for a pool open day, and met the DoS along with other pooled students at my college in my subject - there are a lot of us, I guess with the emphasis that they expect half of us to miss the STEP offer.

My life-long amibition is to become the official scorer for the England cricket team (it's Malcolm Ashton at the moment, but the guy's got to retire some time..), although I'd probably settle for a career in actuary.
