Weekend Bumper Update!!! Woooo!

Hello all!

 

Well, another weekend one – and four days left to the ultimate showdown of ultimate destining  (google it), only less Chuck Norris and funny pictures, and more equations and diagrams. Oh, if only the reverse were true.

And the weekend was a bit of a failure revisionwise – got some solid structures done, but that’s about it. However I did write to 2 companies about work placements, which is a start (too little too late  - oh god I hope not! (:/ Llangollen railway volunteers here I come….)

Well, tomorrow fast approaches, (well, its already here, kind of, but it’s a well known fact that the next day doesn’t really begin till 3am (that’s when you begin to ponder the point of going to bed, and contemplate the merits of powering on through!) So, I’ll make my account of the weekend brief.

Friday: Not much happened, lectures and such. We played poker in Toms room in the evening, which was a good bit of fun!

Saturday, got up latish, assassins game has started, so me Joseph and Foysol went off to St Catz for fun and frollocks, and Foysol losing one of my nerf darts, and Joseph scarin the sh*t out of some poor assassin that wasn’t expecting a 13 stone Welshman with a nerf gun (it wasn’t his target, by the way, just some other random person that was around!).

Then there was rowing (getting better, we are all rowing in time mostly now, and its looking quite a lot more professional), and we picked our cox, Charlotte Hogg,  and have now got a set of ergs to do.  YAY.

 

Went back home, wrot some more of my CV, polished up my covering letter… then dossed around till I wnet to the Hermes/Sirens Bop for a bit, then went to bed. Gay.

Got up earlier today, Yay! Brunch! Then did some Structures, went to find out which nefarious characters were aknocking on Foysol’s door, followed them, and lost them cos Joseph, Ashley and Foysol couldn’t keep up! More Gay!

Anywho, Monday: Boring, lectures, labs, etc, a bit of mechanics revision… not much though L

Bed now J

Byyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Mmmmmm... spicy spicy fajitas :)

Last night Asher finally did his faijitas, and they were very nice... if a little spicy! T'was good fun, and we watched transformers afterwards, which was also pretty good :)

Then I had rowing in the morning, which was good fun, 1st of our 4 cox trials (next one is on friday, then 2 on saturday). Costia did pretty well.... a pity he crashed the boat and splintered the stern. Oh well!

Lectures were good today, and caught up with most of my thermofluids which was nice, then we had formal in the evening, which was good fun. But it was a bit weird... not drinking at formal is strange!!!

Byeeeeeeeeee!

Oooops....

Less of a good day today... missed my Microprocessor lab this morning (its not too bad  - I've rearranged it already - I just hope the let me have the marks!!) and half my thermofluids lecture :(

Weekend wasn't brilliant either. Really struggling to get my head down and do work :/ Should be working now tbh...

In any event it was... eventful... played ring of fire with Joseph, Merlin, Tom, Tom's mysterious other friend, and Steve, which was lots of fun. Then we had the boatie curry on sunday night which was fantastic (made M3 woo woo! although that does mean i have to be out at 6:45) although I really don't want to drink ever again (formal tomorrow night :| ) 

Anywho, just a short one for today, need to do some work!!

Byeeeeeee...

Meh... well at least I got pizza... and waffles...

Bit of a let down today. Got up late, so no work done this morning. Lectures were quite good - I like my new maths lecturer - very understandable, perhaps the pace is a little slow, but it makes for a pleasant change of pace!

Got another maths paper done, but it took ages, which was rubbish not to mention depressing. 

Started rowing training again today, rowed my 2k qualifying erg today (7:54 if anyone is interested) . Then had a meeting with Dr Keeler, finished that maths paper and then waited for the fajitas that I was promised, but they never came :( (something about a rugby match?)

Anywho, then I ordered pizza, pigged out and watched TV-links and wrote this... slight fail...

See you!

A new term, a new chance to start a fresh. Maybe

OK, so I'm back!

After a busy, but not particularly productive, holiday I'm back at Cambridge. Then I remembered all the work I should have done over the holidays.

So, the past few days have been a bit hectic (not least because of a frustrating inability to sit down and work), but I think I've got the hang of it now. The essay is done, the examples papers are by and large done (although new ones just came out! Eeeek! ), I'm making headway with the maths Tripos papers. Only 2 lectures tomorrow, so, fingers crossed, I can get the maths papers done and get some proper revision under my belt :)

Although, I don't plan to work all weekend! My corridor is having another homecooked meal (fajitas, courtesy of Asher :s ), which will hopefully be a laugh! Then there is the boatclub curry on sunday, which I'm looking forward immensely to! Oooh! and formal on tuesday!

Anyhow, its late, I'm tired, and that bed isn't going to sleep in itself. Probably.
