Day 261: Latin is scary

[nagi_schwarz]

Gamila, now I know why every now and again Latin would totally freak you out. Verb conjugation I can handle. Noun declensions - what are those? I may email and beg for your phone number and pester you so I can try to come out of this class alive. But Latin is still looking fun, at least. Rae didn't show up to the cinema class, which was a plus. I think this class is going to be one of the fun ones as well. Professor Franklin cut us loose early again today, not that I care. He's a funny guy. Del and I ran into Panda, Aya and Casanova after lunch and talked, and I got the same bad (crude, mean, generally insensitive) joke from the Franklin men twice in one afternoon. But from the looks of it we're still down for some Vampire, and Del and I are down for some Tristan and Isolde this weekend. Glad to know I'm not the only one who thinks James Franco is at least mildly attractive. I was feeling a little better last night, headache-wise and all, but I'm still feeling a bit puky and whatnot. Meh. I'm keeping food down again, however, which is a definite plus.

I talked to Dr. Tvordi today, and she said she'd be willing to hire me as a grader next fall, which would be really really nice because I like her. She's intellectual and intelligent, but funny and down-to-earth as well. All of the best professors are like that. And she makes me believe in myself, too.

This semester is going to be tough. Thanks to Del and BenTen, I will survive.

Thanks guys.

ah, you didn't know about the declensions. Don't stress too much. If you know how to diagram a sentence then the concept is pretty easy after you get use to it. You'll start analyzing what kind of genitives are in your English homework. :)You use the declensions all the time so you'll learn them quick. But I am here...only a phone call away. Just email me and I will send my cell and apartment phone to you. What text book are you using? Wheelock? Wheelock is fun because it has a bunch of classical sentences in it.

Be sure I will email you. And yes, we are using Wheelock! :D

cool, cool! I used wheelock too. You probably have the newer edition that just came out that looks freakin' cool on the bookstore bookshelves. But this will facilitate me helping you. It will probably be mostly the same and so we can be on the same page so to speak. Email away!:)
