I woke up around seven this morning when the phone rang. About ten minutes later there was a knock on the door so I wriggled out of my sleeping bag & went to answer the door to find my aunt there. She'd come to collect Daniel so they could go up to town together but he was not yet ready so there was much Daniel-y leaping about in a bid to catch ( Read more... )

My baby sister has just phoned. She has received her degree results and she got a 2.ii ( Read more... )

Yesterday was the Newnham historians' garden party, at which we said goodbye to our DOS & gave her a pretty bowl... I spent the evening watching the fourth HP with Jennie... today has been spent saying goodbye to people & getting across London (must go and organise/find my peer ed bits)... oh, and I had an email from my DOS just now saying that ( Read more... )

I have finished my last exam. Quite possibly in the world, ever. This has not yet really sunk in, but Jennie & Helen the Theologian, who met me afterwards, assure me it is so. Helen's first exam had gone okay as well, which is good. She has her second, and final, this afternoon. Jennie came bearing wine. It is sweet and sparkly, and she ( Read more... )

Well, today saw a somewhat pathetic attempt at some last-minute revision. It was hot and sunny and I was sleepy. And really, what I don't know by now will probably forever be a mystery to me... Am just hoping the exam tomorrow is okay. I really need a good Wollstonecraft question because I don't want to answer on Mill. And then I need two nice ( Read more... )

Please all be shocked. This evening the vegetarian option on the menu outside buttery had a note (highlighted) next to it, saying it was dairy free. Shame I am graduating in less than a month, really, now they seem to have caught themselves on... It was a rather odd meal mind you: a spinach roulade, with strangely sweet batter/pastry... But ( Read more... )

Yesterday was spent revising Russian, wandering through the gardens, writing to people, staring out of my window, and wondering how Cambridge manages to get away with its rather "special" programmes of teaching & learning ( Read more... )

Once this morning's exam was safely out of the way and I had allowed myself some time to flop about doing-nothing I went and bought food. And a book (from Oxfam...) And some chocolate for the Jennie. I also got some deep freeze gel from Boots to try and get my wrist to behave. While in Boots I ended up having a random conversation with a random ( Read more... )

Well, after some revisioning of Russian til teatime (accompanied by some Vaughan Williams and some Handel) I went to the buttery. And had tea with Helen-the-Theologian and Rosie-the-Classicist and Laura and Betsy and Jo and Liz and Katie. I had potatoes and sweetcorn, which was nicer than it sounds ( Read more... )
