    As far as I know, people changing courses at all is a rarity. I don't really know anyone who has. Maybe someone dropped their joint honors or something, but that's about the extent of it.

    Oh, also, if I can give you any advice about the French, kill yourself through Grammar over the summer. I'm actually fluent already having lived there for a number of years, but the grammar made me look like a giant useless gob****e.

    Well, when I say I'm fluent, I mean, I did a french Baccalaureat, completely in French. But yeah, I've had people say that they are more confused by the grammar this year than before they came. Apart from that, there is nothing at all to worry about!


    ^And for the person above me, I only know of two people doing Maths, and they're doing it with French (weird combo right there) or Music (which makes sense). But yeah, maths seems to be rare...

    You have been downgraded to the pig version due to your lack of enthusiasm.

    How are your exams going?
