A fight

[geekgurlygirl]

So I'm in a fight.  A fight with Latin.  Latin and I don't really understand each other at the present moment and I don't think we ever will again.  I'm tired of sitting in class with people that know how to translate things.  I'm tired of having a professor who expects me to understand everything about the language without ever reviewing grammar

you're giving up?

thats..... unlike you.

nate, who adores you and like you adores language, got one C in his life. in all of his schooling. Advanced Spanish Grammar. yes my dear. nate who spent a year abroad in spanish speaking countries. who teaches spanish as a living. and reads books in spanish for fun.

just becuase you're having trouble now doesn't mean you always will. i suggest persaverence, office hours, study sessions with life long latin studiers, and continued studies of classics which you do so adore.

i do not remeber a time when you couldn't do something you wanted to do. except yu know obvious thigns like: walking on ice without falling and not laughing when people poke you in the ribs.

I have also parted with Greek (we move onto actual English next semester), but it was definitely on friendlier terms than you and Latin. I was lucky my tutor didn't kill it for me, though--he went to Baghdad instead. (I'll tell you about it when I get home.)
