WOW! man, I just realized something... we are learning all these vocab words in class, and I am like, well I am the latin champion now, I can read everything... but, when I read actual Latin everything is so awkward,lol... tells a lot about temporal and social and cultural change.... for example- non quaro quod capio. - "I do not seek because I capture"?? lol... it actually meant- I do not seek that which I possess...lol? Is this just me?

Yeh, so anyone else bothered by Google monopolizing the internet?lol, I guess I am just a tad bit jealous- it was as if they just bust down the doors to our blogging space and assimilated us into their system!! ahh- images of the BORG from star-trek flash into my mind.. haha...
Anyway sorry about the random talk- just got back from the movies, when we started talking about the superbowl, and we all know what that led to- me translating XLI- made my day! haha...
Peace,

What Has Latin Done for Me Lately?
The weather is so depressing today. I wish I could stay home all day...

Trying to finish my translations...so hard to finish when I work from the time I get out of class until late at night. Gotta do what you gotta do! :) I'm down for a study group. I am free this weekend during the day. I am already meeting with another classmate for some awesome study time! Just let me know!

We are pretty lucky to have such a great teacher guys! We might have more hw and quizzes than other sections but I'm sure we are learning and retaining Latin at a higher level.

Is it just me or does anyone else feel like all they do is Latin studying and or homework etc.? I am recovering from Latin 1 with Campbell. Suffice it to say they have very different "styles". The reason I am posting is to see if anyone else has the time frame after Latin class 1:50-2:50 M-TH. open for a group study/homework doing?
Also I missed class yesterday if anyone gets this before class tomorrow I was wondering what the assignment was for 1/25.

Thanks Illia

Has anyone who is new to the awesome teaching style of Prof. M. (and I'm not saying that to earn brownie points, you are awesome and I think most would agree with me) blogged here yet? I don't think I've seen any new names, not that I don't enjoy reading all the posts because someone usually posts the same question I have. :)

I have a random question from chapter 17. In the passage on page 9, line 11 reads "ad pugnam eum vocavit" which translates to "He called him to fight." With ad pugnam, does that literally mean "to the fight?" If not, could you use the verb infinitive pugnare in the place of ad pugnam? Does that make sense? I guess I'm just curious.

Otherwise, I think I'm getting the hang of the perfect and imperfect after a few instances of wanting to throw in the towel this week. Mia and I are planning on studying Sunday evening around 7 in the library if anyone wants to join. We will be perfect at the perfect... haha, no, lame joke. See you all tomorrow!
