Cheap lolz, swashbuckling romance and essay crises

Jenny is a frighteningly bright Philosophy student, Tim is her flirtatious slacker of a flatmate. Come here to follow the life adventures of these two absolutely not stereotypical Cambridge students. You'll learn very little in the process, but I'll get better at watercolour.

The Examined Life



First published in TCS Lent Issue 2, 2011

Not having exams is great but at the same time it's a bit of an anticlimax. You get to May Week and you realise you have no reason to celebrate. Well, right, you've handed in your thesis but it's just not the same feeling. So then you don't really feel like going to May Balls anymore. Or maybe that's just the '4 years+ at Cambridge' syndrome...

    Your little speech at the end seems copyrighted by Hermione. "Oh dear, without exams, it isn't the SAME anymore, is it?! What is even the point?"
    :D

    I want Jenny's computer. You should suggest this alteration to Steve Jobs.


    PS : What is this strange fetish with Lacoste? ;p

    Is it just me, or have you actually replaced the apple logo on the Macbook with a clementine?

    Personnellement, j'aime beaucoup le vert, mais pas le vert pomme, un vert profond. Si le vert roi existait, ben ça serait cette couleur.
    Sinon le bleu lavande est plutôt chouette. Ou violet. Le noir est toujours une option sûre, et je ne vois pas tant que ça de Lacoste noir, d'ailleurs.

    Je crois qu'ils en ont des roses pâles qui t'iraient bien, je pense.

    @Olivia: oh yes. Way to go!

    @Mathilde: pas noir car j'ai l'air d'un vampire en noir. J'hésite entre vert et bleu en effet, et rose...... ...

    Je ne vois pas ton objection à l'idée de te rapprocher encore un peu de Bella, mais passons...
    Anyway, tiens-moi au courant quand ton dilemne sera résolu! ;)
