Punting and Pimms... Welcome to Easter Term!

Spring has sprung here in Cambridge. Flowers are popping (and allergic noses are running), coats are tucked away in closets, and the sun rises by 6:00am and does not set until almost 9:00pm.

Easter term will doubtless be our best and most enjoyable course term of the MBA. We'll have two core courses done by this afternoon and a slew of exciting electives ahead. Not to mention formal halls, pub crawls, and May Balls! (Which, curiously, take place in June.)

For me personally, I have decided that this term will be about two things. And no, those two things are not grades and jobs. What are the keys to my Easter term? Why, they are the two P's: punting and Pimm's.

Some of you may not be familiar with the fine art of punting. I just learned how to do it myself last week, having been taught by the master - our classmate Eoin.



See how Eoin brims with confidence as he pushes our punt along? Except...



Yeah, it doesn't work so well when you get the pole stuck in the silt. Fortunately Eoin and John were able to paddle us back and we were on our way again soon.

When we ran into these guys...



Out for a stag do no doubt. We were envious of their hats.

Punting is awesome, people. If you haven't done it, get out there! Here's why:

1. It's an incredible way to see Cambridge's most beautiful and historic colleges from a new perspective.

2. It's lazy and a great workout at the same time. My abs are still sore from punting last week! (Which may say more about my abs than the workout, but still. It's a good one, I promise.)

3. It makes for great classmate bonding.

4. It's quintessentially Cambridge.

5. It's a perfect excuse to drink Pimm's at lunchtime. Or in the evening. Or, heck, in the morning too!

Ah, Pimm's. My second "P" of Easter term.



Pimm's is the best thing to ever come out of England, as far as I'm concerned. Especially now that Prince William is losing his hair.

Pimm's and punting are a perfect pair. And much more fun than looking for a job in a recession.

Cheers,

Jen
