Norwich is a great city, with some fantastic architecture and atmosphere.

Yeah... no. Been there, nothing special.

To be fair, my hometown is an absolute shithole, so anywhere is an improvement on it.

The atmopshere is good, not so much Norwich but the university has a really good vibe to it. Don't get me wrong I love Norwich but it can hardly compete against the bigger, more vibrant cities in England.

Architecture, I don't see it being particularly special.

The Cathedral, all around Tombland's really nice, Elm Hill, parts of the castle

Uni campus has a great atmosphere

Like I said, I haven't got much for comparison.

Having never been in Norwich, the Elm Hill area looks interesting judging from the pictures I've seen. Don't know how you feel about mediaeval architecture though. Judging from the discussions we've had in the past about the subject, I suspect our tastes differ quite a lot.

I noticed they were selling Beverley Hills Cop on blu-ray in the shop when I went to buy breakfast earlier. I regret not buying it now.

Thought UCAS was when you sent an application to go to a foreign university, no?

No.


It does in Ireland for us though. If I were to try apply for a foreign university, I'd have to apply for UCAS.

Forgot that it was a British admission service, my bad.

Going to submit it to 6-8 places (first choice being Oxford). Will take a year off as you said, and apply the following November. Teaching Classics once a week in local secondary state schools, starting January. Although I'm pretty sure I never want to teach at secondary level (although it's only private schools that teach it anyway.).

GCSE? A Level?

Ok.ok. MOST don't.

The reason that I've got this teaching position is to go into state schools to provide Classics outreach, to get kids interested that otherwise might not. More than likely teaching in my old senior school, still going to be weird despite leaving 6 years ago.
