Wolfson College
So, it’s finally official. In less than two months time I’ll be reading Computer Science at the University of Cambridge, Wolfson College. Hopefully that’s the last university in my universities chain – all in all there are not many better places to go to. Not many at all.
I’m already looking forward to it. To the legendary supervision sessions, to the world class experts in the field, to the competitiveness amongst the students. I’m sure I will finally arrive at the place where I’ll be the average guy between the best one’s… not the other way around.
(I’m not convinced that the latter applies to the basketball team, though. Well, I guess we’ll find that out pretty soon).

Confirmation Letter. Cambridge University, Wolfson College, 2009.
