Transcripts

hi everybody today I'm going to show you

what I get up to you on a typical

weekday studying at the University of

Cambridge I am in my first year studying

Natural Sciences so that means 6 9 a.m.

lectures a week I got up about 10 to 8

I'm not a morning person so it was a bit

of a struggle for breakfast I usually

have a cereal bar because I don't have

time for much else I go between

nutrigrain and belVita usually I like to

just go on my laptop and out for a

bit as I eat my cereal bar excuse the

grumpy face so I still really wasn't

feeling the early morning then I went to

go and have a shower and get changed at

this point I'm usually quite rushed for

time because I've sneezed my alarm one

too many times and here we have my

favorite NASA jumper of course I opened

the curtain so that's some natural light

in and check what the weather was like

outside it was pretty snowy so I was

unashamedly quite excited the next stage

of my morning routine was to put my

makeup on of course now this can be

quite time-consuming especially when

I've got lectures to go to so I tend to

do quite a basic face just to put a

foundation of mascara the aim is to just

make myself look presentable

then I straighten my hair because it

gets really frizzy and I like to think

this gets really some of the first

rather tragically and currently running

low on contact lenses so after wearing

glasses quite a lot for the past few

weeks have been some bit of a clean

because I've got so dirty but yeah it's

all good I have quite a lot of contact

hours on weekdays so I tend to make time

plans rather than to do this because

most of my time is in super visions or

lectures or practicals I type out my

plan for the next day the night before

because I've had to be organised Here I

am just packing my bag for my lectures

and making sure I've got all the lecture

notes I need in obviously I was putting

a scarf and gloves on because it was

freezing outside and I really feel the

cold I like to take a bottle of water

with me to lectures Plaza do get thirsty

and it's good to keep hydrated my bike

did not take well to the cold and the

breaks basically froze up so I've

actually been walking two lectures quite

a bit for the past few days whilst it

was pretty cold the park was also quite

scenic and I kept warmed by speed

walking because of course I was running

late I eventually arrived at my

chemistry lecture and picked up the new

lecture handout since we were starting a

new topic we're doing kinetics for all

my lectures in my course so far the

lecturers have supplied handouts that

you can then annotate with your own

notes and highlight and sometimes do

example questions as you can see here I

didn't find this lecture too hard going

because it was covering a lot of stuff I

don't a level on rates of reaction I am

a big fan of using color pens to mark my

lecture notes as well I have my

chemistry lectures in one of the largest

lecture theatres in Cambridge because so

many people take chemistry Here I am

just leaving the country such as the

Turks it was the only lecture I had

there that day you can park your bike

outside as you can see and then I really

fancied a coffee so I headed down to

Starbucks I would usually go back to

Coolidge and make my own coffee but

since I was on foot I felt like I didn't

have time to go all the way back to

college since I had a lecture in an

hour's time on a nearby site

can confirm the last it was very good

and very much worth it I brought my

physics work with me and worked in

Starbucks for the next hour I've been

set some questions on rotational

mechanics for my physics supervision

they actually want as bad as I thought

they were going to be and you can see

I'm actually writing stuff down instead

of just staring at the question which is

progress for me

then I headed on down downing site where

my Earth Sciences lectures of health

rather handily it's only a five-minute

walk down the road so I could get there

very quickly

[Music]

so the earth lecture today was our first

lecture on climate it was actually

pretty interesting so here is a

physiology lecture theater which I am

sure has some sort of secret power that

makes you want to fall asleep but anyway

I just want about annotating my lecture

notes and trying to take you and what

the lecturer was saying after every

Earth Sciences lecture I always have an

earth sciences practical which is just

upstairs in the earth sciences

department there is a first-year lap

which is shown to you here we often use

the microscopes to look at thin sections

of rocks the last lecture series have

been on sediment so our practical today

was on ocean sediments it was okay we

were just given a worksheet that we had

to work through and that's what in the

case for earth sciences practicals there

only one hour long so they're not too

bad it was quite a lot of calculation

bits and pieces to lose have my

calculator out there's usually hand

specimens on the side benches as well

which you can look at and they aid you

in filling out your worksheet these

particular rocks are formed from glacial

sediments

[Music]

I finished my practical by 1 p.m. so I

headed off out of the earth sciences

department and back to college

here you can also see the earth sciences

Museum I was starting to get a bit fed

up with the cold at this point and yeah

I was being a bit of a baby about it I

hate the cold so much like when it did

Cambridge become the Arctic

eventually I made it back to Jesus could

Chapel court I went to check on my bike

to see if it was any less frozen than

before but no it wasn't for lunch I just

made myself a chicken sandwich I've been

trying to minimize the amount that I'm

going to cap because I feel like two

meals a day at calf is quite excessive

also calf by the way is the Jesus

College cafeteria while I ate my lunch I

just watched a bit of YouTube pretty

much my go-to thing when I want to relax

I actually had a chemistry super at two

o'clock that day though so it had to be

quite a speedy lunch my faith biscuits

are choco blah blah I don't even know

how to say their name but they are

really good and yeah I do need something

sweet to help me get through busy days

like this one I had a quick flick

through my chemistry lecture notes so I

was ready for my supervision and ready

for whatever my supervisor was going to

throw at me

I did a quick file changeover put away

the lecture notes are known on the

needed got out the stuff that I did need

for my soup hose in the afternoon I was

trying to stay organized doesn't always

work but I can try my chemistry c

provisions are held in college so i can

leave my room at like five to two and be

sure i was going to get there on time so

i headed across the court and optima

super unfortunately I was not able to

film in my chemistry super but basically

we just went over the problem sheet that

briefing set for that week around coming

out of it it was quite hard work so you

can see me leaving a sigh of relief

below B my chemistry supervisor needs an

overall comment over top of our work

each week I usually get good in places

but this week was good effort but

variable you know what I'll take that

though like I did put a lot of effort

into it and I can only try my best so I

made corrections to the questions I got

wrong I made a few silly errors

obviously I kicked myself for but what

can you do and look I've got an

excellent for one question get me and

these are some of the notes that I took

in the supervision we derived a few

equations my max supervisions are held

in Selwyn College which I usually cycle

to you but I thought I should quickly

check the walking distance I wasn't

happy that it was 23 minutes like it was

snowing outside it just wasn't the

weather for walking that far what can

you do I got on with some more of my

physics in the meantime

[Music]

so tragic times I have now had to go

outside in the snow and walk to sulwon

which is ages away but here we are we're

walking through Clair College here it

was very pretty in the snow but it just

didn't cancel out the fact that it was

so slushy and I see everywhere

I had misjudged it slightly but I've

learned Google Maps because Google Maps

Tom it was a 23 minute walk here it was

30 minutes in the end but it was fine we

eventually made it to Selwyn just about

in time I cut it quite fine not going to

lie yes we made it my supervision room

is actually at the top of a really tall

staircase so it was quite out of breath

by the time I got up there

[Music]

an hour later I headed back for my math

super the kind of thing it got even more

snow in there before so you can see that

I really what's not enjoying that but

hey check out the really cool frozen

lake river no it's a river page a river

I do Earth Sciences what is wrong with

me

but yeah so here we are we're looking

through Kings very exciting I don't

usually walk through Kings I usually

cycle so not gonna like I actually did

quite doing this get those shots off the

chapel you know

I wouldn't be surprised if people

mistook me for a tourist oh dear it's

always nice to get back to Jesus at the

end of the day I really do view it as

home now in my mat-su prayer we just

went over at the problem sheet that I've

been set for the week it's pretty much a

standard thing you get set with physical

Natural Sciences so a few ticks a few

mistakes and there that I cracked it

what was a useful soup oh I'd say here

is my attempt at a contour plot yep

pretty messy but we can work on it we

can work on it positivity right here

then I went to cap we had curly fries

which makes it great and those covers

mooses are literally my favorite this is

the main hall where the cafeteria is

always held and formal dinners are also

held in here there portrays of the

Masters are up on the wall it's quite

nice place to be really and here I am

heading back to my room after cat I had

the heating turned up full in my room

because it was so cold and it was just

lovely then I got on with some more work

and yes it was still physics the

question sheets we get set each week

even though they usually only six

question take a long time especially

when you get stuck on them but it's all

part of the learning process and the

physics continues

[Music]

and I was really pleased with myself and

I finished here we go I could staple it

up paperclip it together put it in a

folder and all ready to hand in proud of

myself

as usual I filled in my happiness

journal at the end of the day it's

really nice and it makes you realize

there's always things to smile about

even if your day hasn't been as great as

you may have wanted it to be

[Music]

at this point it was now very late in

the evening so it was time to bed so

yeah I got myself ready for bed please

don't judge me when I show you that I

didn't get to bed till one o'clock it's

not a regular thing I promise

sometimes I just get a bit sidetracked

from work and it happens

I did have Saturday morning lectures the

next day so that meant setting my 720

alarm bloop bloop my hands get really

dry this time of year especially in the

cold weather so I use some dipper based

cream and I put that on every night

before I go to bed last thing I do that

brings us to the end of the day like and

subscribe if you enjoyed and I'll see

you soon

[Music]
