    Are there swimming lessons at USYD?

    I'm pretty sure Sydney Uni Sport & Fitness runs some.

    Ancient History Majors?

    Ancient Imperialism? How're you finding it? I liked Alistair better actually. And Ben Brown is brilliant in his own mind-warping way, much cooler in tutes than in lectures. It has been a new development of the last week that we now get breaks in our 2 hour lectures with him. =/ But the course...

    Failing a Unit

    Totally dude, who're you? Well I don't have another major per se, but I'm doing Archaeology as well, so yes I could do that and still be able to major in ancient ya, but then again they don't seem to offer any archaeology ones either. The only other senior subjects I could conceivably do, it...

    Semester 1 Chatter Thread (2009)

    Wtf is this new shit? Microsoft? Outlook? What, pray tell, was wrong precisely with the old one? Beyond the fact that you couldn't view your sent mail. I mean ... I liked being able to log into MyUni and see if I had any new emails without having to go through another login screen. I hope that's...

    Ancient History Majors?

    Are there any Ancient History majors around the place? I'm a second year, doing Ancient Imperialism, Historiography: Ancient and Modern and Greece in the First Millennium BC (Archaeology but still) this year (and Intermediate Italian too :P). Anyone else doing those this semester?

    Failing a Unit

    Well failing Latin being offered over summer school, that actually seems to be the best option (and one that hadn't entered my mind actually). If I do a senior ancient history unit over summer school and then Latin during second semester in my 3rd year, everything should work out rather neatly...

    Failing a Unit

    The problem is that in order to get into Honours in Ancient History you have to do two semesters of an ancient language, so I have to redo that semester of latin. Overloading with latin would make things difficult, and an extra semester at uni is not appealing. When do they announce what...

    Failing a Unit

    Well that's not too bad. I'm not too concerned by it, because it was a one off thing, but given I'm looking into going into Honours (for which I have the required credit average even with the fail, but still need a year of Latin or Ancient Greek afaik) and then post-grad study, I guess I...

    Failing a Unit

    Well, just a question, because I'm ever so slightly curious. I'm a second year doing a BArts, I'm majoring in Ancient History. I've been doing well, with a distinction and 3 credits 1st semester, but second semester was a genuinely shit semester for a variety of reasons and I got 2 credits, a...

    Time available to write an essay?

    Yeah, this is very much the case I'm finding in second year units with History (or Ancient History, as I'm doing), and you tend to have a good deal of freedom to choose when you end up doing your essay for that subject in order to ensure that you don't end up doing them all at once (though I...

    Rules for Customers

    OH! And if you want some tomato sauce or little satchets of sauce with your meal, that's fine. But if I give you your meal, and you, having mentioned sauce in NO PART OF THE ORDERING PROCESS AT ALL then ask me "Did you put my sauce in here?" and I have to reply "No, you didn't ask for any, what...

    ANHS1602 - Greek and Roman Myth

    This subject is kickass. Is Eric Csapo teaching it? He's awesome. It was so much fun when I did it. :)

    Maccas!

    I know front and back area, and let me say that front area can fuck right off. I'm at Uni and since I learnt front area, I do 90% of my shifts there, which has me now considering quitting, because the manager that runs front area most days is a bitch and treats me like crap, and no matter how...

    Rules for Customers

    Fast Food: Learn freaking English. Seriously. Communicating poorly in a manner that butchers any proper pronounciation of the English language and then getting pissed off because I can't line up whatever the fuck you're saying with one of our menu items is the most annoying thing ever. I live...

    Majors and minors, as it happens

    I know that, for a BArts at least, you need 36 senior credit points to get a major in something, but are you able to get two majors just by getting 36 credit points in two areas? Is there a such thing as a minor, or a secondary major? Just to help with context, I'm majoring in Ancient History...

    What is the best uni for studying European languages?

    You are most welcome, and I would be more than pleased to contribute to the same unvarying degree in such a consistently eloquent manner every day, but I only have so much eloquence to spread around, and I simply cannot waste it all on such pearls of wisdom. :) Oh, and it needed to be said.

    So how many days do you spend in uni per week?

    I'm at Uni four days a week, though monday and tuesday are half days (10-1 and 1-3 respectively). Yes, I'm an Arts Student, how did you guess? :P
