ukebert, are you considering a change in tripos?

In theory yes, although at the moment none appeal. In all likelihood I shall remain with engineering until college force me to stop, which I don't think that they will (my DoS sent me a letter saying that I should be doing better, which is encouraging).

My results really were shocking though. I got 28% in structures :p:

How often does the self-employed Cambridge student get ratted-out for working during term? I'm set on working this year, which I managed last year to an extent ... I work from my laptop, however, which makes it easier. By way of note, if anybody needs any audio transcription done at a low, low price then, you know, just ask for a quote ...

What do you mean by audio transcription?

What do you mean by audio transcription?

The transcription of audio (generally interviews, legal proceedings, medical records) from the spoken word into a typed format.

Now that Wimbledon has finished, my holiday has become a lot more active. :biggrin:

I've become something of a British Library whore to do reading for my Themes & Sources essay. I think I've set myself a pretty nifty question now and I'm really getting into it. Last week I also went to a friend's birthday party in Surrey and tomorrow my friend and I are going to watch a mutual friend (and Cantabrigian offer-holder!) play the lead role in a musical at her school. :yep:

Plus I've finished two novels and I'm halfway through a third. Good shizz.

Missed Terry Eagleton because I didn't queue early enough and it filled up :frown:

He's booked to speak at the Cambridge Union this Michaelmas so you don't need to worry!

In other news, I got significantly below the average in all papers. This is a real nuisance and I'm not altogether sure what to do. I'm going to have to think seriously about this.

By the way, you were in one of my dreams last week. I can't remember anything else about it apart from the fact that it seemed to take place in Manhattan :s-smilie:

Oh well. Lets hope for an effective resetting of the body clock!

The opposite is true for me. I tend to get so irrationally stressed out about who is going to win, no matter who the players are, with every match on TV that I probably walk miles every time I watch it pacing round the room. Now that it's finished, I'm just sitting around again! :p:

I've just realized I got negative rep for this post because it's 'not true'.

I don't care about rep but unless I'm going mad, surely it is.

I think I've gotten food poisoning or something. I was at the gym cycling when I suddenly had massive pain in my stomach and nearly fell off. I stopped immediately and tried to walk home. I had to stop about 10m after leaving the gym and lie on the grass outside some council housing for 5mins. And then I nearly fainted (I lost vision) when crossing the road to Parker's Piece, so I lay on the piece for another 15mins.

:frown:

I was woken by the kind of construction work that shakes buildings apart. At 8:10 am.

I need to start my dissertation, but my material, located at the British Museum, is still too nebulous for analysis. I have no idea what it is, equally, no idea. I've been told it came from Kalat/Makran in Pakistan, at least.

It certainly is true. For mathematics anyway. But it's a NatSci thread, so...

Do you often get these sorts of problems? If so, seek medical advice....

In what? I have an offer from a chambers, but they are just a local set that I don't particularly want to go to, hence applying to more. I've had interviews at 6 different chambers in the past few weeks, and have two more next weekend, but this is the first one I've heard back from, and it's the one I really care about.

For some reason, that :confused:

face looks really accusatory to me!
