Your typing's fine. If you make a mistake, it's accidental. None of this intentional crappy brutha spelling crap...

It's great. I've been doing a lot of history, as you can guess. There are a few core units (all ancient) and a few options (which area and ancient languages you want to do), as well as electives. My electives are all pretty much historiography subjects (this sem, I'm doing 'History on Film' as well as modern languages (german and french- needed to read all the original archaeology reports).

Yah, uni's great. I'm loving the whole culture of it.

If you're unsure, do a Bachelor of Arts. That way, you can make your decision after you've tried it out. You can always transfer.

Have you thought about non-award at Macquarie, or other universities' equivalents?

Are you serious.... Macq library has more info on Egyptian stuff than any other library in NSW. The state library has nothing, as do the other public libraries, and since no other uni does Egypt throughout the undergrad degree, Macquarie's it.

You must be pretty stupid or something... Are you sure you went to the right areas? You realise that Ancient Books are scattered all around the library- PA is philology, PG is interpretation of sources, DT is archaeology, BS-BT is on religion, DF is historical theory, PJ is on general Egyptian stuff (probably where you ended up...), there's also DS and NA (I think NA's on architecture).

You should have done a catalogue search, rather than just wandering :p - there are over 90 books with just the basic term 'Ptolemy' in the titleship. You obviously suck at navigating big buildings (don't worry, I used to, too...)

Well .. it was my first time.. im sort of a virgin

umm, i went to DS section .. i did find sources on Sparta and Unification period to O.K but i couldnt find any sources on Cleo ..

the sad thing was i asked the azn chick at the info desk, and she told me use the catalougue (also she said that most of the books are upstairs), Since i was all on my lonesome. i was nervous. When i first went on the catalouge i didnt know wtf i was doing .. so i winged it. I had over 6 hrs of studying to do so i might as well look for the books if they're in sections .. I found the Histories section near the photocopying room in the first 5 mins .. yippee :D

I have no idea why, but when you first go into that huge and disorganised library, you get nervous. The first time I went in there, I kept walking around pretending that I wasn't lost. Frankly, I think they should adopt the dewy system or whatever it's called.

I totally understand the whole nervous thing, it's as if you think people will judge you or something. That's why I think they should boost the mentoring system there.
