So, if I haven't talked about how much I love the Gates community, let me do it now. It is amazing. Besides the fact that the people are amazing, the community is incredibly active at Cambridge. We have student run events just about every week (this weekend, for example, we had a Dance Party in a club in town on friday night and then "golfing" on sunday). Also, whenever I'm out at a pub, it inevitably becomes a Gates event. Even when I was on the Churchill Pub Crawl, when we ended up at the Maypole, the group was basically half Gates people from different colleges.
Then, on Sunday night, we went "golfing" around to some rooms of Gates scholars. I'll admit this did instill in my quite a bit of envy, especially upon seeing the palatial rooms of a girl who lives in Trinity. She has a separate bedroom and sitting room, with a fire place, and a mural on the ceiling. But I still really like my country house and having a home a little separate from work. Regardless, my point is that the Gates is awesome and I'm so lucky to have this opportunity, not just to be here, but to be around such great people!
