God, after all this time of not knowing what to do, this is such a goddamn relief.
Next year I shall begin Classical and Historical Archaeology at Sheffield University. A very good and lively university and the best archaeology department in Britain.
I'd previously thought I'd be more interested in the History side of things but the blend of science, investigation and history offered by archaeology is quite tempting. Having done only humanities for two years, I miss science a bit.
I don't know if I'll be any good but damn is it a relief to know what I'm going to do at university at last.
Make sure to tell us about your exploits as young and promising archaeolo... archolo... archealog... tomb raider!

Congratulations. The accents will drive you insane.
I already had troubles on the phone with some of them 
Anyhoo, you still going with your photography next year, right?

Yes. For some strange reason De Montfort university have let me do the second year. I've promised that i'll spend less time and money drinking this year though.

Heck, everytime I speak with someone from around London I have to concentrate really hard, or else I will miss the half of what the person is saying.
I came to the conclusion that the English people are only English speakers that I do not understand.
Congratulations.

Mine too!
I'd considered doing my B.A. Honours (Archaeology) at Sheffield, until I decided to specialise in Egyptology. Your field-work experience will be an absolute blast

It's not much easier when English is your first language.
And X never marks the spot.

Well, not too much to tell, I'm still an undergrad myself, but if you like the idea of figuring out how and why people did what they did hundreds and thousands of years ago, I think you'll enjoy it 
That's one of my "choices if I wasn't an artist".Achaelogoy, marine biology, animal sciences, anthropology...
I'm all into sciences.. I was really good at biology, but sucked at physics and chemistry because they involved math.

Which is why I'm going to be living under a bridge as an artist.

I Didn't Suck at any of them, I was Just Lazy Stupid and didn't do my homework. You ever have that experiance in your life were you look back and go" Well, shit, the Folks were right" ? Yeah, that would be
the whole time I spent in public edujmaction.

I have a good memory for stupid shit. Which is why I excelled at biology, history, and the socials. I never had to study for those to score A's.. Math though.. shit.. I was lost once I hit HS. All through grade school I was pulling 90's in math.. HS started, dropped to low 50's.
Which looked funny on my report with all of my high 80's and 90's. 
But yeah, I sucked at math. LETTERS DO NOT BELONG IN MATH!

See I Never understood why Variblies triped so many people up, The only explantion I can think of is something I stumbled upon From my stepmother. Sitting one day, she asked why it too a little time for me to multiply thing sin my head, 'splained to her I was doing the math in my head, going through the steps like I do for any problem, then she asked why didn't I just remember the answer? And it dawned on me, There might be alot of people like my step mother. When she does Multiplication, she isn't doing the math, but just remembering a times table, so why you start putting stuff that wasn't in all those times tables you rembered, you get flummoxed. Now roots, those are the debil if I am doing the math mentaly.
Congrats, Nik, on finding a career you'll enjoy.
but anyway, good luck with the archaeology. I almost went with that, but went with Geography/Geology instead. Although those disicplines in the UK and the rest of Europe are supposedly different then they are out here in the states, funny fact.

It all balances out once you get to diffEQ, when they remove the numbers entirely as well as replace all the nice, familiar, letters with Greek.

I found mine recently as well. Forensic Investigative Science.
Yes, I will be CSI Candace

Now I just have to hope I get a place in halls.
And don't talk to me about Forensic science students. I dated one briefly this year. When you hear somebody talking about blood spatters in a Welsh accent for god knows how long your brain twitches for days afterwards.
