I'm completely shorter than all of you! I'm 4'10"! I have a friend who's that height. She's legally required to sit in a car seat in our state. I've only ridden in her car once and it was the most terrifying experience of my entire life. |

A car seat? Oh wow. I hope I don't have to do that.
I don't even have a permit yet, but I'm sure I will be an appalling driver. I tried to drive a golf cart and I almost ran into a parked car.

Hey, fellow Supernatural fan!  ! I'm so jealous of what you're studying. I hope my university will offer that kind of stuff (when I get there); it sounds perfect! |

Hey, fellow Supernatural fan! ! I'm so jealous of what you're studying. I hope my university will offer that kind of stuff (when I get there); it sounds perfect! I love Supernatural so much.... It combines two of my favourite things: mythology and hot men. And I'm unsure as to why people are jealous of my studies. Is it the mythology bit or the classics or...? If you want to study mythology GO FOR IT. Seriously, if your university offers the class, go out of your way to include it in your schedule. Most schools offer what is called an "overload" where you can sign up for classes past the cap, but you have to talk to your college. Check out your school's website and browse a bit to ensure you can. But seriously, do it; you won't regret it (unless you have a really shitty professor). |

It's both the mythology and the classics and well, all of it! I've always been interested in mythology, and took Classical Civilisation when I first started sixth form because it was the closest I'd get to mythology. Unfortunately, two-thirds of my course was 'archaeology' and my teacher 'taught' this by making us watch videos and that's it. It was so terrible (and I kind of decided I wanted to be a surgeon) that I decided to drop it. Since then, though, they've fired the teacher and changed the course, so I'm really, really sad that I haven't done it and am desperate to get another chance. I am - literally, right now - going to check my uni websites to see what kind of modules they have in this vein. |

I'm always interested to see what other universities offer compared to mine. Also, be sure to look in other departments, not necessarily English. History, classical (or foreign language), or even anthropology could offer courses in mythology, though it may not seem like it. I know our Anthropology department offers a ritual and myth course (or something like it). I should look into contracting a minor in mythology.... |

I have discovered the following:
My 'firm' choice (which I will be going to if I get two As this summer) offers nothing mythological at all. It's actually a pretty crap course (what was I thinking? ... Actually, I know I was thinking about the sea-side and clotted cream (the uni is in Devon); my priorities were somewhat skew-whiff when I chose, apparently), sooo yeah. Boo.
My 'insurance' choice (which I'll be going to if I get worse than two As but at least two Bs) offers a couple of myth modules. In fact, they do an entire Literature and Myth BA! I am changing my course choice there anyway, so I mayyyyy consider doing that one instead of just English Lit (although I still get myth choices if I do lit.); we'll see.
Our universities work really differently to the US, though, so I only get to do modules from the Department of Film, Literature and Theatre/Faculty of Humanities and Comparative Studies. Also boo.

It is the University of Essex, UK! And as far as international fees go, it's fairly cheap in comparison to many other universities. x)

I have a new goal in life....
As far as I'm understanding this, it's course = degree, module = class?
