The Cambridge Chat Thread

Haha I can never remember who I've spoken to so sorry for the ambiguous adding... hello!

Just had my hearing Didn't go too badly. I had a fair idea of what they might ask so could answer pretty well off pat. Interesting juxtaposition between Dr B, who is happy, bouncy and primary-school-teacher-like and Dr P who, erm, isn't

My old school is never getting any of my money! Not after the way they failed to acknowledge (let alone to anything about) the fact that my two sisters and I were all badly bullied

I don't know which college you're at but the 2 single sex ones did seem to generally care about students (along with other colleges before people criticise me)-none offered my subject though

Merciiii Didn't see you today after all! I dragged my hungover self up to Sidgwick at 10:50 to hand in the absinthe essay, then dragged same self back to bed, which may explain that. Did you go to 4pm?

That's rubbish My school was private (I don't know if yours was, or whether it would have made any difference), but I get the feeling my old one had a vested interest in keeping every single one of its cash cows, oh erm, I mean pupils There wasn't much bullying, but when it did occur, the school came down on it pretty hard.


Bummer :/ I'm at the one right next to Sidgewick, so I can't speak for the hilly one...

I missed the whole Purcell Festival at Fitz

Awkward presentation work for supervisions... I thought this was going to be easier than essays.

I'm watching the ITV 'Oxbridge' drama Trinity. It's so bad, it's hilarious - it's completely perpetuating every Oxbridge stereotype.

Although it does have the porters serving wine at what appears to be their matriculation dinner

Why?


(I've just been trying to think of any way in which it could possibly be considered so, and failing. "Not something I want to do" I could understand (since you don't like the way the college is run much) but why/how "unethical"? I'm puzzled and curious

Best guess is either you think higher ed should be properly state funded so donating privately is upholding the current unethical system, or that you don't agree with the college investment policies (arms, etc?) and wouldn't want your money used like that. But neither seem entirely plausible.)

the best thing is they called the "university" Bridgeford - they're not hiding their agenda, are they?

I got dragged along to watch the final episode last night - we decided that the writers must have realised they had no chance of tying up any of the plot lines and so instead just went for broke inventing completely new ones...

Right, one of my mates is organising a Downing Open Mic night on Monday 23rd November. If there's anyone who'd like to perform (after seeing some of the TSR-ian talent at the Clare one, I know we'd be honoured to have you here), please quote me or PM me!

For anyone else, please put the date in your diaries! I'd love to see some TSR people along, and you're welcome for post-entertainment drinks at my place.

Right, I MUST start this reading on geofeminism. I don't even know what it bloody is.

Have just had the most incomprehensible and boring lecture EVER.
