Latin and my term paper...

So I just turned in my term paper a few hours ago after working on polishing it up for most of the day and all of last night. I was surprised by how much easier it was to fix the passive voice sentences now that I know how to do that, thanks entirely to Latin.

Now I'm just looking forward to Friday! I'm totally free until then, so if anyone wants to study, just let me know where and when and I'll probably be able to be there.

Professor M.
Check your email when you get a chance. :) Feel better!


And for those of you that don't know the test was canceled today. Prof. M is taking our highest test score and doubling it to replace this test supposedly. Good luck on finals guys!

My last posting on here talked about my "brilliant" expository writing class. I have another little anecdote from that class that surprisingly relates to Latin. Today we were going over different types of styles in writing. We have a 15-20 page paper due next week, and most of the class still doesn't understand what has to be turned in (we are in college, right?). Anyways, the professor used "Veni, Vidi, Vici" as an example of a style (heck if I remember it though). One person asked if that phrases was Italian, while another person asked if it was Spanish. I'll forgive the Italian comment, but Spanish? It hurts sometimes, it really does.

I'm going back to studying for a test tomorrow. Expect a zombie to have taken over my body tomorrow in class.

P.S. - And while this has nothing to do with Latin, I can't stop laughing about this. Only in my hometown does this nonsense happen. Seriously.

I definitely posted something yesterday and now it's not here...I can't remember what it was. Oh well.
I used Latin in my short story I wrote today for Narr and Des. It seemed appropriate. I'm going to miss learning more Latin. I hope I make efforts to further learn the language and keep up with it. I'll really miss this class, Proff M, and my classmates. I can't say I've ever worried about missing another class in my college career.
Well my teacher is back to flapping his jacket and talking about the KKK. I'll be at the library around 4pm. See you guys at 1pm!

OK, I love that we've learned the verb nubere. I have been attempting to talk about my upcoming wedding in Latin... and failing miserably. However, I'm designing the programs for our wedding myself and I'm thinking of coming up with a nice little phrase in Latin to include. Talk about blowing away our families!

But on to more important things, for test #3, the vocabulary from chap. 32 will be included, yes? It's on the study guide that was passed out, so I'm assuming that... we just won't be tested on anything else from 32 until the final, correct? Also, since I have been conjugating verbs up, down, right, left, and inside out all weekend, I was wondering about the prefect of confidere. It's not in the back of the book, so is it something to worry about? I did some searching through my treasure trove of Latin websites and found that the first-person perfect is confidavi. Is this correct? Am I worrying too much?

I think that's all for now from me. Thanks!
