Lurking on discord is kinda fun

Funny thing happened while my piano teacher was coaching me on how to present my exam video. She told me to introduce myself and my name. In sleep-deprived confusion I said, "Mihi nomen est Anita."

So we're doing this now, brain.

The epigram in the Geoffrey Steadman edition of Ritchie’s Fabulae Faciles is:

"To make the ancients speak, we must feed them with our own blood."
- von Wilamowitz-Moellendorff

That accurately describes how I feel after I've handed in an ancient history or Latin assignment. 🩸 📜 🏛 🏺 🩸

And even for people who no longer have exams to worry about preparing for – what better way to start your day than reading a passage of Lucan?

The intention behind the project is to provide students with a simple means of reading some Latin and Greek every day.

Daily engagement with the languages is of vital importance for students at all levels, and Classics Every Day gives them an easy means of incorporating such practice into their daily routine.

This looks great, from David Welch and James Patterson: classicseveryday.com/.

(Edited from the listserv post and the website.)

Classics Every Day provides a single, short passage of Latin and of Greek every day. Passages alternate between prose and poetry, most from shared texts on the PhD reading lists of Yale, Harvard, Michigan, and UChicago.

Sed quō asinus it?

(For a movie told from the donkey's point of view, hopefully there's not too much Apuleius in it...)

When I first started learning vocabulary for Latin adverbs two years ago, I couldn't get this line out of my head, so you can have it too.
If I had a ridiculous aide-mémoire for every Latin word, I'd never forget a thing.

Hur sjukt på en skala? Tio minuter efter jag (en halvtimme försenad pga allmän lokalförvirring) satt mig i tentasalen imorse med latinprovet stirrande på mig var jag på vippen att lämna in blankt. 😱

Sen hände nåt. 🤔 Det lossnade, jag skrev som besatt och gick därifrån med känslan av jamen tametusan gick det inte ganska bra trots allt? 😀

Skillnaden mellan gerundium och gerundivum. Försöker fatta och försöker igen. Fattar inte. :blobugh:

Less than a week left until my second exam in Taking every opportunity to study, and reminding myself that it's the knowledge that matters, not the grade.

The main thing, after all, is to lay a solid grammatical foundation so that I later on can open the monastery archives and decipher strange marginal notes in medieval manuscripts. Non possum expectare! 🤓
