As I look back on my Summer, I wonder where it has gone. Then I realize... Latin. Ah, Latin. An intensive Summer study that starts the week after school gets out and ends a week before it starts up again. You have consumed my vacation time by making me memorize, conjugate, and decline. I'm still kind of mad at you.

The pace was unbelievable. During the school year, it would be one chapter a week. In the Summer, it's a chapter a day. There is no time to digest the material, only to stuff yourself fully and hope it works its way out naturally. It's like learning, but hard.

The way things have progressed, it looks like my final is tomorrow. After that, I'm supposed to be able to read real Latin. But from what I've learned in this class, it shouldn't be any problem. I mean, I've gotten really good at pretending I know what I'm talking about.
