Latina est gaudium!

So, not taking any summer classes and being a bit geekish and a bit wary of the undertaking of Latin, I bought an introductory Latin text and workbook to start on over the summer. I figured it would be helpful to get a head start before the real thing in the fall. Turns out, I bought the actual textbook and workbook required for the class for the first two semesters. Suhweet. And the text was only $21.95. Suhweeter. I should have been a Classics major and saved $9000 on book expenses.

And I figured it out and I can finish 4 semesters of Latin and all of my graduation requirements for both of my degrees by December, 2008. I will have to take classes next summer, but will be able to save some surplus of that sweet, sweet financial aid money to put towards summer tuition and expenses. Since I got f'ed on the summer financial aid this year, I know to plan for the same next year.

I actually might finish this thing.

Completely unrelated, worked today with the person I mentioned yesterday. All effing day, heard all about how (s)he didn't do what people said (s)he did that I can't talk about because it involves government agencies with weaponry if you know what I mean, and all day long I just wanted to say, "Shut the eff up, you did too do it."

Just to see his/her reaction.

And because after all his/her histrionics, I do think (s)he did it.

I'm just glad most of it happened while I was on vacation. Wasn't me!

Bonus fortuna in vestri Latina bulla, Jenelle.

Hopefully you'll use it a little more, and a little better, than I have.

damn dictionary. Bulla should be erudio. I looked up the noun form of 'study', but when typing wrote the noun for of 'stud'. Because I'm an idiot. A bilingual idiot, but an idiot nonetheless.

You're not truly bilingual if you're using a dictionary.
