Hey dear all,

Don't mean to be slipshod with my updates but i am sure you will understand
if this update is not as exciting as it usually is..good luck and best of
luck for the exams! just a bit more to go! :)

~~~~~~~~~
Here is a supposedly true story someone found regarding exams at Cambridge
University. It seems that during an examination one day a bright young
student popped up and asked the proctor to bring him Cakes and Ale. The
following dialog ensued:
Proctor: I beg your pardon?
Student: Sir, I request that you bring me Cakes and Ale.
Proctor: Sorry, no.
Student: Sir, I really must insist. I request and require that you bring me
Cakes and Ale.
At this point, the student produced a copy of the four hundred year old Laws
of Cambridge, written in Latin and still nominally in effect, and pointed to
the section which read (rough translation from the Latin):
"Gentlemen sitting examinations may request and require Cakes and Ale".
Pepsi and hamburgers were judged the modern equivalent, and the student sat
there, writing his examination and happily slurping away.
Three weeks later the student was fined five pounds for not wearing a sword
to the examination.

err so, this is how you get ur free pepsi and burger =]

Hi clever and diligent CUMSA members,
 
"Yesterday"
Yesterday,
All my finals seemed so far away.
Then I realized they start today.
Oh, how I long for yesterday.
Suddenly,
I no longer have the grade of "B".
Now it's looking closer to a "C".
Oh, finals came so suddenly.
I can
cram, althought I can blow
it off today.
Come to-
morrow morn, I'll get on
my knees and pray...
Yesterday,
This was such an easy tune to play.
Now my chops are all but gone away,
My jury's half-hour away.
What I
have to show
I don't know,
the prof won't say.
I'll spell something wrong, or I'll bomb..
... there goes my "A"...
Yesterday,
Thought of graduating come this May.
Now it looks as though I'm here to stay,
oh, how I long for Yesterday.
