Hey all,
Just wanted to say cheers for the friendly and intellectual atmosphere i’ve experienced here for the last six weeks or so. I’m off back to varsity tomorrow, and things no doubt will be as hectic as last term when I didn’t find any time to loiter on the board.
I hope you all have a good Jan/Feb/March and will be sure to return during the Easter holiday, when I have another five weeks or so off.
Thanks for keeping me on my toes!

it’s really hard to decide but i picked greek language since that is what started it all for me. 
Hey whither are you going! We need you! If you must however, thank you for all of your benevolent words and critical analyses of dodgy topics that you have given to me.
I chose Latin because it’s great. Sometimes the expressions and omissions and general style annoy me (that ties in with history and philosophy, how these people thought) I ignorantly think that Philosophy is pointless (but then again I don’t know what it is about exactly) and I suppose (putare) History to be quite boring. Unless there are televisional recreations of, say, a gladiator’s journey “ab salute” if one might call “servitutem” “tutam” as it were. Thanks BBC.
Philisophy definitely! 
There are some other aspects that interest me too, but I think I can safely say Philosophy interests me most.
I’ll admit it - I’m sorry to see you leave. Your posts have been great and you’ve been very helpful. But school calls and there is your duty.
But return soon. When you do, bring more of your kind back with you!
all the best at school,
Jeff
Definitely Philosophy (you go, Emma! 
)
Good luck with the upcoming term, Dave…
I also chose Greek language for the same reason as klewlis.
History for me, ‘those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it’ or words to that effect. I find that the more I learn about what mankind has been up to in the past, the easier it is to put what’s happening now in perspective. (Or perhaps I’m just getting old and cynical)
Thanks, too Dave for all your input - I hope you enjoy your next term, and I look forward to more of your posts when you’re able.

I thought the reason textkit had so many Greek books compared to Latin was Jeff’s bias towards the language he knows better, but I guess Greek is pretty popular after all.
I was torn between choosing Latin language or Linguistics but I’m glad I pitched in for Latin or else isti barbari might be winning by even more.
vale bene Dave, una dum commisceamur
I picked philology and linguistics. It was the closest they came to pure love of words and knowledge…
