Hope things are going well for you! ^^

I start uni next year, I'm really worried about it >.< I think its the thought of being alone that scares me most, I don't make friends very easily xD

Hope this year goes better for ye though!

I know. I felt very alone last year. Hardly anyone in my flat talked to me, ditto with my course. I'm not sure if this year will be the same (I hope not!)
I'm a terrible real life socialiser. I'm always clamming up in crowds and I get worried that others won't like what I like...I've been shouted at online by someone I don't know well (it was an forum PM) because of my Egypt love-she told me to 'stop being so obsessive'. The cheek of her...

Exactly the same here, I hate large groups of people >.< And I always worry people don't like me which makes me very anti social.

I really hope this years is a good one for ye ^^

Hehe well people like that arn't worth worrying about! If someone dosn't like it and can't respect your intrests then they obviosuly arn't a nice person.

I think people get bored by my obssessive rammblings sometimes, but i'm actually going on to Uni to study Egyptology so hopefully it'll be different there, still scares me to death though.

What uni do you go to. If you don't mind me asking that is! I'm looking at Swansea in Wales.

Hmmm, now I regret taking astrophysics. I only declined Egyptology/archeology as a choice because I didn't do a history GCSE/A level, and I thought something scientific would get me a better choice of careers in the future. And it interests me too. I honestly thought my love of Egypt was a superficial phase at the time but now I think differently...

Surely if you seriousl y wanted to take it you could stay on and do it? Or is that not possible, my knowledge on universities isn't very good >.<

I don't even think my uni (Hertfordshire) does an Egyptology/archeology course in the first place. I do enjoy my studies though and don't want to stop them...
I just thought I'd keep Egypt as a hobby, not a study. But now I realise that this severely decreases my chance of ever going to Egypt at all! And it almost seems like fate is taking the piss out of me, in that everyone's going to Egypt and I'm not-even my godmother went and didn't think of taking me with her...(she said it was crap and told me that I shouldn't go-all that stuff about her 'enjoying it' that I wrote about previously was a lie she told to 'please me'-I mean, how nasty is that? Lying to your god-daughter?)

I think the only Universities here that do are Swansea and Liverpool. And Liverpool is more biased toward archaeology in general from what i've read. As long as your're enjoying your course though. I was really torn between computer game design or something film-ish as well, but I think Egyptology is my first and definate love. When I went to visit, the Egyptologist there did say you hafta be 100% sure your heart is set on it otherwise you won't enjoy it, so maybe its best to keep it as a hobby?

And you can still pursue it well enough as a hobby, and i'm sure you'll get to Egypt someday!

If I go out and live there which I hope to, you can always come stay with me (thats if I do go out there and live and can afford to for that matter xD Looooong long way off at the moment though, but ye never know)

But really you will get out to Egypt, if you want to visit it that badly then a chance will come I promise ^^ And it is worth it, ye can read about it all in books but the place itself is just beyond words.

Are you taking a gap year or anything? Thats probally the time to go I wager, I really want to go back in my gap year after univeristy and maybe drag some of my friends with me xD I also wanna visit Cambodia O_o
