Thank you! I definitely went all :DDD when I got the email (DUDE CAMBRIDGE).
I'll be doing something to do with 'humanities', as that is the 'area of interest' I circled on the sheet thing. Seriously, we've had v. little information about it - my friends were in the meeting thing where it was explained in a bit more detail (I assume), and then they gave me a form to fill out and said "do this", so, er, I wrote a little box of LIES in order to answer the "what do you hope to get out of this?" question (my answer is actually "I HEART LATIN CAN WE DO DEAD LANGUAGES MOAR also I need something to put on my personal statement I have never had a job and have no interests or personality halp halp").
I am sure you will have a fantastic time, whatever the hell it is you end up actually doing there! Cambridge is such a lovely place omg. Bizarrely, when I finally decided I wasn't going to apply, the bit that made me saddest was OH BUT THE BEAUTIFUL SPIRES OF THE CITY, I WILL NOT SEE THEM IN MY DAILY LIFE.
Also, your personal statement will be fiiiine. I've never had a job either, and it didn't seem to do me any harm! oh god I wish I had a job why do I have no money Frankly, writing in coherent sentences will probably make you stand out.
Frankly, writing in coherent sentences will probably make you stand out: I AM SCREWED.
See, see, I keep being told that Cambridge as a city is nicer than Oxford, but I have this inexplicable raging Oxford-shaped blind-spot, and just keep going BRIDESHEAD and BIG PRETTY BUILDINGS and COBBLES and JUDE THE OBSCURE only that last one is really sad so no (I watched the film on Christmas Eve, having not read the book and with no-one telling me quite how depressing it would be (OH GOOD LORD), which was a stupid idea).
