Blind Date

All of Cambridge is a learning experience- things like 'you can ACTUALLY live off chocolate and pastry for at least a week', and 'you should probably consider wearing shoes that don't leak when it's raining' tend to be the kinds of things that we consider valuable life experience. As such, things we have learned from our blind date last week:
1) We are TERRIFYING as a group. Especially when over dinner we start discussing giraffes in gimp masks and dissection.
2) Never believe most of a blind date form. Or facebook profile pictures (our guys were surprisingly normal and good-looking).
3) Being a third year makes you more likely to be able to put up with four crazy medics over dinner, while actually maintaining conversation. And to steal dessert.
4) The world is connected by larp. This is a scary prospect.
5) Julia knows someone who is connected to anyone she meets, however obscure.
6) Julia is the only woman you'd ever forgive for being a female Dr. Who.
7) Running after someone out into the ice and snow in only a dress and tights may seem like a bad idea, but actually was a good decision- and I still have all my toes.

See, learning experience.
