Latin

Anyone who says that senior year is all fun and games is lying! lol One would think that one’s last semester would be spent enjoying time with friends that one is going to leave but in actuality, the classes one takes in his/her last semester are some of the most important. Or a least that is the case for anyone going to graduate school, like me. That’s right! I’m going to grad school! I’ve been accepted to my top two schools and now I’m only waiting to hear about scholarships. But back to my subject… the classes I’m taking now are really the last chance I have to absorb information from the professors I’ve spent the last three and a half years getting to know. I’m scared about grad school. I do not feel ready! Grad schools are asking for certain classes and I need to absorb everything I can this semester from these professors. One of our AMAZING religion professors has designed a course just for those of us planning on going to grad school. It’s a 4 week crash course in Latin! Two hours a day for 4 days a week but only for 4 weeks. We do one to two chapters every day!!! Talk about a crash course! Latin sucks too! One day we were all getting a little frustrated and someone asked why we were killing ourselves over a dead language. We have to work really hard for this class. I’m spending at least 2 hours every night on this stuff. After only two weeks, we’re already translating full sentences! It’s a good thing I’m half way through this! Below is a picture of all the books and study guides we are having to use. Ahhh!
