The Cambridge Chat Thread

i saw you in the trinity bar tonight through a window!

and tomorrow may not work because andy and fleur claim they have too much work, ben has some jazz recital and ploop has some badminton match.

Nah, you're just not listening to it loud enough

As for this early, abortive christmasfetish phenomenon, my only other reaction, apart from horror, is that it does look pretty good at dusk and during the night. Probably hell for moths, though.

Cambridge scrubs up well, it seems.

For the next phase of my kitchen dispute, I've made a poster.

I've got too much ******* time on my hands . And a slightly unfortunate sense of humour.

There seems to have been mass panic for college engagements all week. And there have even been two examples of proper drama...

A man of conscience

Peterhouse has got an Advent Carol Service on Sunday evening with mulled wine and mince pies And I should be done with my essay by then too

Really? What were you doing in Trinity?

Thats fair enough. That means I will hopefully get the work done for next week tomorrow, leaving the rest of the week for partying. You out most nights next week?

next tuesday and wednesday i'm definitely out. probably thursday too. you?

i was visiting a friend.

I just saw 'Going Short' at the ADC (late show) and it was really good! (About investment banking)

Just got confirmed I'm an interview helper!

Since I vaguely remember you having done the same before, how do I deal with someone who's all happy going in to their interview and really distraught and crying their eyes out when they come out?

I just read that 1A Natsci exams are graded on a curve (25% to get 1sts)...is this the same for all Cambridge subjects/parts?

Really? Might go tomorrow then

Really?!

Please don't tell me that he actually left the jam in those places?

Actually I have kitchen woes as well, in that my teatowel, once pristine and white has been used to mop up god knows what (mostly coffee, but also grime and grease and so on) and so is probably never going to be white again. Despite the name, teatowels are not to be used for mopping up spills, they are used for drying dishes. And there is now only one usable teatowel, which is fairly grim itself.

Great playing on the Open Mic night as well! I think the instrumental acts on that night were some of the best I've heard, including yours!

On the music front, my 'Baroque pig-out' fortnight is drawing to its close. It's been absolutely brilliant though And tonight's countertenor!

You should know the curve is a normal distribution top 20% get firsts in medicine

Might go to that In fact will go to it.

Just say "don't worry, must people think its awful. of course some of them people will get offers. just wait till january... then tell some story about someone who did something stupid who got in anyway"

Nah it's not the Christmassy theme that interested me - the Cambridge Night Climbers (presumably) have been up to their tricks and put santa hats in high places. It's great fun santa hat spotting.

Not a big fan of grading curves, kind of reduce the incentive to work.
