The Classics Society Mk II

Thats a bit odd (no offence) :smile:

but i guess if you find both sciences and classics interesting... , personally sciences bore me. But to be fair I don't know much about Veterinary Medicine or other science courses :smile:

Surprisingly I've seen odder combinations of subjects.

My friend wants to do Chemistry, Maths, French and Latin, I think that is a pretty odd combination

I did Catullus last year at uni. I do hope they don't cover the same things at GCSE, he's really very, very rude.

Catullus is a great poet. I believe that 'odi et amo' is one of the only ones they cover with OCR, but it is (or was) an option for OCR for A level, but only the early poems and poem 63 (I think)

Nope, but that poem was used as evidence in a discrimination case:

I did Computing, Physics, History and Classics (with Politics AS) (and ended up on an Archaeology degree...) so I don't think its too uncommon to do two sets of 2 related subjects. French and Latin will link quite nicely, and Maths will help with Chemistry.

I did biology, chemistry, maths and German at AS, German and biology A2 and history in a year during A2. Now, that people, is a set of messed up A levels.

And I linked chemistry and biology to ancient history in my personal statement because I am just that ****ing amazing. I am very sleep deprived.

I remember second year Latin where Catullus was one of the poets covered (though from a textual aspect, alas, not a sweary one" and how as a result for the next few weeks most of the composition work was heavily supplemented with the most imaginative swearing and "your mom" jokes in Latin I've seen. Good times. Sometimes I miss Roman Lit. :s-smilie:

Yh we don't do any rude poems we do poems like the sparrow one, odi et amo, what you do with your left hand (we thought this was going to be rude but actually it was about steeling napkins!) and other poems to Lesbia :smile:

The sparrow one (assuming I'm talking about the right one) can be rude if you replace 'sparrow' with an item of the male physique...
