New instance, new #introduction.

I am a mature-aged ancient history and classical languages student at the Uni of Queensland (in Brisbane, Australia). I've just completed two years of Latin, which I'm trying to maintain while I start ancient Greek in 2023.

The broad plan is to pursue postgraduate studies in the next few years, depending on the day job and other commitments.

Watching Call Me By Your Name, one of my favourite films, tonight :). I particularly love the allusions to Classical history throughout the film.

While we work out where corporate social media is heading, and whether new town squares are needed, this is a greeting to any classics and ancient history people who are looking around this network.

I was a small but enthusiastic fish on #ClassicsTwitter, as a mature-aged student who returned to university to study ancient history and classical languages. But I'd be keen to connect with any teachers, students or enthusiasts looking around this platform too.
