Welcome to Latin


Dear all,


This is a note to welcome you to this space, where you can post any thoughts you have on our classes, on Latin in general, on the Roman world, or on how any of these things interact with your academic careers and lives (you can post anonymously, if you do not care for the extra credit).


This blog is now a little more than two years old (we lost the 2006 postings due to the switch of blogspot into gmail...I am still upset about that!). It has followed the vagaries of the lives of those who participate in it. People, including myself, come in and fade out of it from time to time, but these notes and pictures show that Latin is a wonderful shared experience which casts unexpected light on the mundane experiences of every day.


If any of the old students is still reading this (shout out to Rachel, Anne, Olivia, Mia, Jeremy, Tracy, Sarah, and the rest of the Latin gang) feel free to keep posting---the login and pswd have stayed the same. I am looking forward to another year of Latin, always ancient and poised and always as new and exciting as it has ever been. See you all tomorrow---and let the games begin!


Yours,


EM.
