The Cambridge Chat Thread

Anyone a member of the Union Society? I wasn't going to join, but they've got some decent events coming up, and lots of my friends seem to be members. The reduced membership fee of £70 is also appealing.

*pokes head in*

Reduced membership? How do you get that?

You have to be eligible for the full maintenance grant.

I think as long as you can prove your finance came through late they're letting you have it.

Oh, how long is that lasting? I was going to join for the debating, but my finance hasn't come through yet, so I can't really splurge on anything unless I want to be unable to eat for the latter half of term.

Strange question: does anybody have any creative ideas about what to do with lentils? Only I've ended up with tonnes of the stuff - not literally, but almost - and I may get bored of doing my usual thing to them each time...
(Long story short: the Bangladeshi owner of a shop on Mill Road was so overjoyed to discover my loose connection to a village loosely connected to a village to which he was loosely connected that he decided to give me a ton of free lentils, not to mention some chick peas and prayer beads thrown in for good measure; only people from the subcontinent will understand why this makes any sense)

In my lecture today the lecturer told me I looked like I should be in bed.

And then in my supervision my supervisor said that I was looking 'opaque'.

And I thought I was so much better today!

Bah. I'm already emailing a supervisor to apologise for not having the work ready (there would be too little time even if I got every question right first time). Time management fail.

I'm a member of the union, in fact I just came back from watching Jo Brand there earlier tonight. I've also been to a talk and book signing by Eoin Colfer, a pub quiz, and a debate already this term. So it's definitely been worth it so far.

PS on time management fails: I went to choir rehearsal after going to the Union tonight, despite having a Maths assignment due in tomorrow morning which I haven't even done half of. This could be another long night.

Which subject?

maths assignment beats history assignment! (do i moan about this too much?)

Does this mean I might meet you there? I'll be wearing an obvious Cambridge Hub hoodie with my name on it

You'll get the technique for it eventually - by the end of Lent Term I managed to do a History assignment (with 'reading') in around 2 hours.

I'm screwing up my final year. WHY does it take me so long to do one piece of work?! SOOOOOOOOOO stressed right now. When's the end of term?
