The Cambridge Chat Thread

Craggy (I'm quite worried that I've lurked enough to know that a lot of people call her that -_-)...

I did my undergraduate degree here from 2002-2005, moved to London and am now back doing an MPhil. Being back is a peculiar mix of weird and strangely normal...

So, because I've been here before, if you've any questions, just shoot. I'm not sure I know any more than anyone else who's on here, but I could at least maybe give another perspective!

I think I followed you into King's earlier, with a big blue board and poles sticking out of your bag?

Well, I dealt with it today by making my way to that Italian place on market square, with the outside tables and green canopies. Once seated I ordered a strong black coffee and rolled a very careful cigarette. I am now feeling pretty good about everything.

I wonder what he would have to say of the internet? A tool which, sure, is standardized to some degree, but otherwise a mess of conflict and contradiction ...

Come to ours-it''s £12! Still expensive...

lolz at everyones prices for formal. Try a fiver

Bad point of the day: finding out I may be spending my year abroad in the German version of Cambridge.

I wish I was studying music.

I've spoken to someone called Rosie whos at Homerton doing Education and English in the second year. Shes going to try to find you and bring you along to Church this Sunday.

Ooh that's exciting-is it a good church?

Funny sermons?

It's not a partnership formed by Cells, me and Rosie, we go way back. We is tight bro'. Our relationship is closer than L- and D- amino acids. She brings my zymogen granules to my apical end. She gives me an advancing pseudopodium.

It seems that there's a free copy of The Private Eye in today's TCS.

In my experience, there's usually about 1-3 people from NI in each year at Trinity. If you want to meet lots of NI people, you'd just have to go and hang around outside Corpus!

This isn't normal? I wandered what the thing that fell out of my TCS was. Glad its not more spam from bloody Careers like everything else seems to be

Oh, my god. If I get one more leaflet trying to recruit me to an investment bank... GRRR.

You should be worried that you know that she is a 'she'

I presume that this refers to the measured and unconfrontational stuff and not the paperclips?

What a day. Skipped a lecture (economics, where she reads off the slides) and went to the library, working almost solidly until my supervision at 5 with another engineer, doing an examples paper almost from scratch. Then dashed to the pub and spent the rest of the evening with ceilidh band, which I needed.

I really, really wish I found this degree easier. I've long since given up all hope of a first, I just want to scrape a 2:1 in my third year and a merit in my fourth and then I've got enough to get a decent job. Except for the fact that I passionately love everything else about Cambridge apart from the work I would wish that this degree would go quicker, as it is I'll almost certainly be looking to work in Cambridge once I graduate.

It was indeed from me

Craggy: is reassured by the overwhelming majority of disgusted status updates relating to Griffin's performance on QT. She is alarmed, however, to note the occasional *sympathetic* status by students of Peterhouse!!! >.<

Yeah, I wanted an early night too but only got up at 10.30am and slept two hours during the afternoon, so am not tired. Though I did four hours of martial arts today, so should in theory be exhausted.

I bet that Griffin doubled his lead in the polls this evening. Yes, his preformance isn't going to sit well with the Cambridge crowd, but the method of straight-up denial will win him some support, especially since the opposition couldn't immediately produce videos of him saying the more outrageous things he did. Especially given the abysmal preformance of Jack Straw, and the mediocre one of the Conservative woman, I wouldn't be surprised if a section of the working classes began to reengage with the "common sense" version of himself he tried to put across tonight.

I suppose that this means that people doing Part III this year won't get it? Or can they possibly delay their graduation till next October to get a MASt?

I just eat 250g of olives

Everybody knows the Cragster How was the picketing?

Where is that, and why? I thought Russia was an option.
