another manic week sails by!

hey guys,

this last week seems to have whooshed by... it really is amazing when you sit down and think about how much work you actually cover during a week, and how quickly you move on to new topics! anyway, here's a brief summary of what i've been upto this week:

monday was pretty uneventful, but had a friends 21st birthday formal at peterhouse which was cool... though peterhouse may have the prestige of being the oldest college in cambridge, it's formals definitely haven't got much to show! the food was pretty weird - being a veggie, i had a really weird sweet 'n' sour main meal, which was more like soup than a proper dish... lol - the dessert was also a bit weird (but you get used to it when it comes to formals), but i somehow managed...

wednesday was a completely different story. again i had formal, but this was a scholar's one, so they gave a free drinks reception beforehand, followed by an awesome meal (which was very similar to the matriculation dinner, which the first formal hall dinner you are given in cambridge)... i still remember that - i actually wore a black tie thinking that that was what 'black-tie' meant - in fact it wasn't even black tie - only 'lounge suits'! oh well i guess that shows how little i know about formalities!

anyway returning to the scholar's dinner - like i said the food was pretty good, and they even gave some robinson college mints (cool i know!)... however we did have a really random after-dinner speech on carbon emissions by a professor of thermodynamics... don't really think i need to expand on that further!

thursday was pretty uneventful, but yet again things stepped up last night because we had our mayball launch formal... three formals in one week!! no wonder i got minimal work done this week!!

speaking of work i've got a path essay, pharmacology practical question and neuro essay plan to do (all be it for two weeks time, but hey)!

better get back to it, will write another post soon!

kief :)
