Mayweek!

Mayweek is the only major consolation for Cambridge students to celebrate the end of darkness. Mayweek is not in May, but it is the week when the final term of the academic year ends. This also means that every undergraduate has finished his or her exams for the year and in other words, its PARTY time!

Well, my san jie said I attend parties like attend classes. It is quite true. I have been so busy and occupied everyday in Mayweek, or since my exam ended. It was about drinking, clubbing, and garden parties. I think I am truly blending into the British culture. Well, I think the highlight of my Mayweek will be Saint Johns Mayball! I am lazy to explain how its like. Basically it is a ball which costs a hell lot for you to drink and enjoy whole night. But, it is something in Cambridge that I would want to experience.

Today was a pretty good day. I was asked by Tom to help out in their medsoc garden party. It was nice to work with Tom, Rob and Kat. I am really glad to be working with them in setting up the garden party today. It is the company which matters. The garden party turned out great! I love the chocolate fountain a lot.

Besides all the fun, there is still something lacking which is stopping me from feeling very satisfied of the mayweek fiesta. I hope Johns Mayball is able to do the job. Or perhaps there is just no way to really compensate all the struggle during the mad exam period.

Well, I am also looking forward to my summer research project! Oh well, maybe the best satisfaction you can get in Cambridge is not the alcohol or music, it is the intriguing knowledge.
