I got set an essay on Kant on my second day as a Cambridge student.

Was that at a DoS meeting? Our DoS just took down our options and introduced us to the course - a nice, easy introduction. How distant those times now seem!

I was set my first piece of work pretty much in the first lecture: maths problems, which I am currently doing as a form of procrastination from my essay. :rolleyes:

At least he will not know the difference and therefore will not be annoyed with the machines because they're so crap, even compared with your bog-standard home washing machine. I sure am - our machines have 6 programs, the colours program spins way too fast for fragile stuff, the delicates and knits program way too slowly to get enough water out to be able to dry them in a reasonable time. (At nearly £2 a wahing token, you don't really want to do many small loads either...) Oh how I miss my washing machine at home.
Any of the people who actually remember me free on Saturday? I'm coming up for a 65th birthday party (rock on!) so if people want to meet before/after for tea and cake somewhere, that might be nice...

I got set an essay on Kant on my second day as a Cambridge student. My supervisor seems surprisingly relaxed though- he even said we could, if we found the essay too difficult, just come to the supervision with some notes and he "wouldn't mind one bit" :eek: .

I've never used a washing machine before in my life and I'm too embarrassed to ask anybody else how to use those massive machines in our college laundry :ninja:

I haven't really put a load in myself-I think that's because my mum didn't trust me with the clothes/her machine though rather than her spoiling me.

I'm quite confident in my ability to do laundry though. It's okay to ask for help because every machine's different-just sound confident and say ''gosh this is crap compared to my washing machine at home could you lend a hand?''.

I just pick a setting at random and hope for the best :o: I've done two loads so far and none of my clothes have become horribly shrunken or disfigured! :p:

Plus Caius laundry is free :yep:

When will you be around? I recommend the new library cafe(!) for coffee and cake :biggrin:

Party is from 3-4:30ish, so either side of that is good depending on when people are free. And which library cafe?
Urgh, hardware is... um, hard. :erm:

Wrong thread, but yes - it's so they can identify you at interview.

Not technically free. These things that they report are free are always included in fees like the accommodation fees

sorry- + rep for that- thanks :smile:

True, but its free at the point of use, so I don't notice the cost :p:
Its like the caius meal card - I keep spending loads of money at lunch, I'm going to get a bit of a shock when I get my bill in Lent... :sigh:

Clare laundry is very nice apart from the driers which are apparently completely and utterly sodding useless.

I wouldn't know, I have a fold-away clothes horse in my room. On the plus side, it means I don't have to pay to use the drier. On the minus side, it means I have to sleep with my windows open :<

:lol: I am the same with my card. Its so nice not paying at the time but I will probably not be so happy at the end of this term when I get my bill in. Good times all the same. :biggrin:

Cool. Will see if anyone else responds and come up with a time after work tomorrow.

I am the same with the clothes horse. Means a laundry card lasts you for 5 washes instead of much less with having to dry things in the driers.
Our driers didn't seem awfully effective (but then, my drying included a pair of jeans and had come from that delicates wash cycle mentioned earlier... hm) but converting my room to a dry sauna seemed highly effective.
