hey guys,

can't believe i've only just done a week - seems like i've been here for ages! so far it's been really gd - meeting up all my old m8s and catching up on what went on in the summer, etc. work hasn't been too bad - we've started lectures and supervisions properly this week. neuro and pathology hav been pretty interesting, but the pharmacology lectures hav been just collections of graphs and equations! and i just got a list of all the drug names we have to learn this year in pharm, great fun!

still find plenty of time to do other things though. got cuppers athletics tomorrow; cuppers is basically an intercollegiate cup competition, which robinson almost won last year, so hopefully we can build on it this year! i'm running the 100m and 200 hurdles, the latter which i've never done before, so should be a laugh to watch! cuppers in all sports are always really fun events, cos there's such a wide variety of abilities, and at the end of the day, wherever you come, it all adds up to valuable points for your college. some colleges always do well esp. the likes of trinity, which is so big it has ppl in just about every event!

workwise i've got two essays to do - one for my pathology supervision and one for neuro. it's not like school homework though; the supervisors actually ask you what work you want set (!), cos at the end of the day it's to help your own learning. essays are pretty much the best way to learn topics, cos to write a gd essay you have to know your subject well (and of course, there are essays in the exams)!

bought a small fridge the other day for my room, but the noise it makes has been doing my head in so i'm thinking of taking it bk! you'll b surprised how little background noises can put you off when you're working in your room.

watched 'bride and prejudice' last night - was really cheesy but really funny at the same time - def recommend going to see it! tonight is rentals cocktails in college; rentals is the drinking society, so rentals cocktails 'all you can drink for £7' is an annual event of extreme drinking with obvious messy endings!! i don't drink so didn't really see the point of going (plus i did it all last year), so i thought i'd quickly write a blog, as tomorrow i'm prob gonna spend the morning finishing off my neuro essay and then running all afternoon!

other than that it's all gd fun, so far so good!

kief :)
