The week of “fresher” events continued on Thursday with a fun bar hop through Jesus, Emma, Clare, and King’s College bars. It was a great time to go out and around and meet with students from other Colleges. The highlight of the night was Clare bar, an amazing underground pub/bar in the basement of Clare College (right near King’s).
On Friday I had my all day induction by the Graduate School of Life Sciences. This 8 hour series of talks by different lecturers was only interrupted by a complimentary lunch and a coffee/tea break. I took advantage of the complimentary lunch, eating no less than 13 sandwich squares (about ¼ of a sandwich per square, in my defense). Needless to say I was feeling quite full by the end of the day, where we had drinks in the Museum of Zoology. The museum itself was absolutely gorgeous, having fossils and samples from nearly every animal that ever lived – now a definite stop for any guests that visit me at Cambridge.
Saturday’s big event was the Grasshopper Lodge party (where I live), which was a great chance to finally meet everyone that lives in Grasshopper as well as the other graduate hostels nearby. Tomorrow – a walk to Grantchester, and hopefully rest from the end of a very long, but unbelievably fun Fresher’s Week.
You are basically living in the plot of The Great Gatsby. Like a boss.
