Lovely.
(This will most likely not interest you, but I'm very happy and want to ramble about it).
The official acceptance letter from Cambridge Tradition came this week. I found out a lot of useful and useless stuff from that booklet, and today I looked up Jesus College in Google. The name of the college didn't appeal to me too much... but it turned out I was very wrong, and the college is simply GORGEOUS!
(The pic on the left is some picture from the 1800's... on the right is a pic taken in winter)
(More pics... left is some random wing, the other pic shows the chapel, I think).
...If I could, I'd pack my bags right now and leave. Ok maybe not, but still - I was sceptical before, but now I see that this will be, without doubt, the bomb.
I'm on such a high, I only see the good things. (The cheesy part comes...now). I can already see myself strolling through those damn parks in between classes, with a coffee in my hand from that cute little coffeeshop... *sigh* yes please.
Another good part is the fact that we will have a lot of freedom there. Breakfast at 8 am isn't too bad after all. And classes only start at 9! Then the afternoon break from noon till 2 pm (that's when the whole image of me strolling through the parks will happen). We will be free again at 4 pm - to do whatever we want (literally); they even provide aerobics classes and bloody croquet. We have a chilly dinner planned for 6 pm. After that, we can do whatever and whenever - so long as we check ourselves into the college before 11 pm. We have to be back in the rooms by midnight (notice the chillness) - but the Common Room will be open 24/7, so if anyone wants to socialize, or watch a DVD alone can go there.
All that I'm actually stressing about are two things. The first one is kind of minor - I'll be gone from home for a whole month, without any real connection. There's no internet there... and no phone line in the rooms. But I guess I'll be fine - after all, I'm a big girl now aren't I? I can take care of myself.
The second thing is REALLY stressing me. What if I'll be the outsider in the corner and won't make any friends? I'll have to chill by myself... I really want to meet cool people I can hang with... I don't want to chill alone... God I hope I won't.
But both things are kind of ok since people will come hang out with me. Fiona told me that it shouldn't be a problem since she'll be in London anyway sometime during the month, and Lara (Ayuso) said that she'll come chill if she's in London. IF ANY OF YOU GUYS WILL BE ANYWHERE NEAR CAMBRIDGE between July and August, tell me pleaaaase. If I don't make any friends, at least I can have someone there to hang out with for some time.
Ok I'll go now. Wow I wrote the longest pointless entry ever, I think.
