Amo Latinum.
Yeah, sadly that's about all I can say now, other than practice sentences, like: Fortuna adversa firum magnae sapientiae non terret. Or. Magistri parvis pueris crustula et dona saepe dant.
Translations: Bad luck (adverse fortune) does not terrify a man of great wisdom. The schoolteacher gives little cookies and gifts to the small boys.
And it's so pretty! I'm so excited.
Iapetus duos filios, Prometheum et Epimetheum, habet. Prometheus est vir magnae sapientiae; Epimetheus est vir sine sapientia. Iuppiter Epimetheo bellam feminam, Pandoram, dat. Prometheus Epimetheum de Pandora saepe monet: "O Epimetheu, erras! Periculum non vides. Non debes feminam accipere." Epimetheus Pandoram amat; de periculo non cogitat. Iuppiter Epimetheo arcam dat; non licet arcam aperire. Sed Pandora est curiosa: "Quid in arca est? Multa pecunia? Magnus numerus gemmarum?" Femina arcam aperit. Multae formae mali provolant et errant! Sed Pandora spem in arca conservat. Etiam si vita plena malorum est, spem semper habemus.
Translation anyone? .........
Here ya go, I don't expect anyone to know Latin, except maybe Ariana.
Iapetus has two sons, Prometheus and Epimetheus. Prometheus is a man of great wisdom; Epimetheus is a man without wisdom. Jupiter gives Epimetheus a beautiful woman, Pandora. Prometheus often warns Epimetheus about Pandora: "O Epimetheus, you err! You don't see the danger. You ought not to accept the woman." Epimetheus loves Pandora; he is not thinking about danger. Jupiter gives Epimetheus a box; it is not permitted to open the box. But Pandora is curious: "What is in the box? Much money? Great numbers of jewels?" The woman opens the box. Many forms of bad things fly out and wander! But Pandora saves hope in the box. Even if life is full of evil, we always have hope.
It's a simplified version. But that's about a literal translation.
What else have I been doing?
I also joined the Creative Writing Guild, Film and Theater Club, and the Ping Pong Club! And I'll be trying out for the Repertory Dance Troupe and possibly some theater production a little later.
I'm working at the Information/Technology Helpdesk, woot for work study. And I found people who wanted to go see Wicked!! So now I'm going to see it!!! In Seattle!!! Soon!!!! Am I excited? I believe so.
And I got The Prince by Machiavelli out of the library yesterday. Thought I might read it.
Thought I'd update, so that's that, I'll go read about Popes and Machiavelli and the Borgias and Erasmus and Martin Luther. Oh and who can forget Henry VIII.
I will leave you with some great quotations from my sarcastic Russian teddy bear history professor:
"Wikipedia sucks, by the way."
"Quizzes separate sheep from the goats."
And...
"By 3 o'clock, you should be sober, no matter what you drank the night before!" --Prof. Taranovski
