they don't even want the £20 fine now
they want the £60 or whatever ridiculous amount they charge for lost books even though I have the book. And they've frozen my library card so I can't go to the History faculty library, though my college library are alright

My proudest moment at university
was having a library book so overdue that they completely changed their archiving system in the meantime, accidentally writing off about £170 of fines. Hurrah!

I've never met anyone who studied classical stuff
I love that there are two of you on here.

I feel slightly less of a weirdo.

Rome mostly for me in the classics area
I really don't like Greek history. Where did you study it?

That's what happens when the rave scene explodes during your 'A' Levels....

My ideal course might have been Celtic Studies
but it was a bit too language-y for me and was also based in fucking Cardiff so that was a 'no' straight away.

I didn't really think about the whole
university application thing. My other five choices were picked randomly from a list of places. When I actually read them afterwards 2 of the five wanted A-levels in Latin and Greek which I didn't have.

It's a new big-budget series

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Thu 27 May 2010, 14:09, Reply)

Somewhat better than 'Rome'.

(Tugnut Ex of this parish, Thu 27 May 2010, 14:29, Reply)
