I absolutely adore classics, I love the way they used to speak, dress, their morals, I would actually prefer to live in the 19th century.. And I enjoy their works more than any others, Haha you do sound quite odd speaking slang, but it is rather cute
I would love to speak like you, I find myself picking it up when I read classics too, especially the work of Shakespeare who I admire hugely! Ofcourse he is the obvious choice, But as I've studied him more in dept, I've gained a deeper appreciate for his work, and interest in his style.
aw you're welcome

James Joyce is an author who's books I haven't yet had the pleasure of reading, which ones would you recommend? Oh, enjoy the poetry!
I study Psychology too, what other classes do you take?

Hi, I've applied for Biology but haven't heard anything yet. Anyone heard ?

I feel exactly the same way. St. Andrews is my first choice and I am desperate to hear. It's all I can think about. What subject have you applied for?

That's the wonderful thing about classics, they are especially addictive. When you reread a classic, you do not see more in the book than you did before; you see more in you than there was before...it's as much of storhy as it is a self-discovery.
I can relate to your veneration towards the Victorian era, intellectualism and literature was admired and championed amongst all classes, let alone the gentlemanliness which is a rare quality amongst the male population in this day in age

Shakespeare's work is wonderfully elating! I studied 'Twelfth Night' and I found myself truly encapsulated by the vast philosophy, beauty and wonder it caricatured.

James Joyce's A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is a beautiful assemblage, I think you will really like it!

A very popular book that I recently read is called The Stranger by Albert Camus, it's an easy read with a lot of philosophical caveats http://www.amazon.co.uk/Stranger-Albert-Camus/dp/0679720200/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1358099517&sr=1-1

I received a conditional offer based on graduating with 36 IB points; I’m predicted around 40 points. However, I’m applying as an international student, so maybe they’re more lenient? What about you?

I applied for BSc Geography too, still not heard anything though!

how good is st andrews honestly? since the rankings are no good to anyone.

Yeah, at this point, I'm honestly not too sure if I can handle rejection lol. Comp Sci, and yourself?

Applied for Mathematics, reaaaalllly want an offer, will probably be first choice. Anyone applying for maths heard anything?

Applied for maths also! really just want to hear a decision! I havent heard anything yet where else have you applied?

Yep, the wait is killing me! I applied to Durham and Oxford unsuccessfully, got an offer from Bath and still waiting from St. A's and Bristol. You?

I know, i feel the same . Well I applied to Glasgow, Edinburgh, St As, Strathclyde and Warwick. Still awaiting responses from them all wanted to apply to Cam but my school didn't tell me in time, so wasn't happy!

So do you have an option to do further maths when you're doing highers? I'm not sure how it works over the border. What grades did you get? I got 3A's (maths, physics and economics) and a B (archaeology, dont ask) and picked up AS further maths this year. Hopefully we'll hear soon!

Do offers come out tomorrow or do they just start assessing applications tomorrow?
