The University “experience” (if one can call it that studying in virtual isolation, digital solitude and ploughing a most lonely furrow indeed) has been bitter-sweet thus far. Upon reflection their are many things I would have done differently.
1) Had I known that nothing at level one counted for anything whatsoever, I would not have wasted my only free choice on an introductory module.
2) Had I known that Latin is not officially a part of history, then I would have specialised in the classics from the offset, and would have learned ancient Greek which would have been infinitely more useful than "an introduction to material culture".
3) Had I been made more aware of just how tricky linguistics are in comparison to the other subjects I would have began working on it a lot earlier.
4) Had the lectures not been 250 miles away, I might have stood a chance of passing my Latin, therefore not being a failure, destined to live in France for the rest of my days: and instead been of service to my country.
