The archaeology department of york emailed me yesterday and asked me to reply telling them why I want to study archaeology and what atracts me about the subect. ( in case you don't know, I was accepted for Politics with Economics but changed my mind and now want to do Archaeology). i wrote something like a mini essay. wonder what made me do it? about 500 words. and I ended it with this corny lines (I share them with you but you must not laugh or giggle)

"I dreamed of finding ancient monuments and of unearthing dinosaur bones... Also, I like to dig"

immediately after i clicked on the "send" button, I whacked my forehead and said,"oh shit! why did I write that corny conclusion! dammit." Wonder what made me do it. was I too tired? Was I rusty at writing essays? Or was it a reflection of the true me? The subconscious lame ol' corny self that had been repressed for too long? We can only speculate...

Then, a few hours ago, I received an email from the uni:

"The admissions tutors have agreed to change you course from joint
Honours degree course LL12 Economics and Politics (Equal) to single
subject Archaeology (V400)"

Corniness. It works.

But am I making the right choice? And what's an Honours degree course anyway. why are some course honours degree courses and not others. Am I giving up fame, fortune and an Honours degree for dino bones?
Please, somebody, tell me. I have no zoinking idea what I am doing. I might be zoinking up my life for all I know.
