C'est jeudi français!
Depuis deux semaines, il neige. À Newcastle, toutes choses sont blanches.
De toute façon, je suis allé à Cambridge cette semaine. C'est une belle ville. Je serait heureux si j'y vais pour mes études.
Maintenant, j'écoute de France 80 en ligne. C'est très amusant : la musique pop français est comme… fromageux qu'il est en Angleterre.
À bientôt!

Les offres
Mardi, j'ai reçu une lettre de Newcastle University qui a dit qu'il me donne une offre! De plus, hier, j'ai reçu un émail de Cambridge University qui a dit que j'ai besoin de visiter pour une interview. C'est le 7 décembre, et je suis nerveux.
De toute façon, j'ai eu une réunion pour discuter l'aviron Mercredi. Nous avons parle au sujet du programme hivernal d'entrainement. C'était vraiment agréable ; j'aime la responsabilité d'être « Junior Vice-Captain. »
Bien, c'est tout! Bonne nuit, fais de beaux rêves, si c'est logique en français.

Maverick can be my wingman...
On Thursday I was filled with adulation, having completed my UCAS application, and, hence, my Cambridge application. Unfortunately, dealing with Britain's top academic institute is never that simple! I have to fill out the SAQ, which, much to my relief, isn't too long. That'll be sent away by Tuesday, and then I can concentrate on MIT, Stanford, Princeton and Harvard.
Tonight, I've downloaded – thanks to wget and Oxford University's Open Source Software mirror – Ubuntu Server Edition 10.10, known colloquially as Maverick Meerkat. Lovely. I'll be trying that out on a wee laptop soon, so expect complaints of a total failure in tomorrow's post!
Regards,
Love and kisses,
Yours sincerely,
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Robin James

"There's a rhythmic ceremonial ritual coming up!"
Great Scott! Tonight, I went to the cinema! There was some kind of audiovisual display at the Silverlink! I think I remember! It was Back to the Future!
I love Back to the Future. It is undoubtedly the best film I've seen at the cinema since Inception; although, I hold Back to the Future with more affection. Doc Brown's eccentricity clinches it.
In other news, nothing interesting happened, however, I am closing in on a finished personal statement, just as the Cambridge deadline closes in on me. What fun!
Anyway, nobody cares about that tonight, certainly not me, as I have rekindled my love for Marty McFly and Doc Brown! Gee, that's heavy.
Night interpeeps!

To be a rock and not to roll.
And so, with three weeks to go until the deadline for UCAS applications to Cambridge, my personal statement is still leaving something to be desired. That something just so happens to be a personal statement.
I made a start on it, but, seriously, do they want modesty and showmanship, personality and humility? I can do all kinds of things with words†, but writing a personal statement truly is a challenge.
Anyway, tonight was Alex's first gig! It was awesome - the band played some right good tunes. Not left good, but right good. Led Zeppelin, ZZ Top, ACDC, Fleetwood Mac, loads more, and even 2 4 6 8 Motorway.
Tomorrow, that formidable regatta in Durham. I'd best get some kip before the 0700 rise. Oh, and I've committed myself to writing a newspaper article about it. Stay tuned!

The Lie-in, the Book and the Whiteboard
All right, so maybe 0800 isn't that much of a lie-in, but the C.S. Lewis reference wouldn't work nearly as well with anything else.
As for the book, that's real. I'm referring to the Harvard Prize Book I was awarded on behalf of the Harvard Club by my school today. No Small Matter by Felice C. Frankel and George M. Whitesides. I also won the award for French in my year, and received the certificate for the Open University course I completed last year.
Finally - and, man, this post is short - I come to the 1.2m*0.9m whiteboard which arrived today! I bought it on Monday, on eBay, and it's ridiculously big.
I've got a month left to finish my UCAS application, due to the early Cambridge deadline. 108 days to go for MIT and Harvard.
