I... did well.
May. 25th, 2004 01:19 pmI actually did well on my Latin final. As in, I not just had the passages memorized, but I was able to translate the ones I didn't (I think he snuck some in from the first half of the book, because I know I didn't read some of them recently).
Of course, I couldn't scan the damn things, but apparently neither could anyone else, and they couldn't on the midterm either, and, come to think of it, nobody ever got the scansion right in class either, so that's okay.
And, due to some good natured cheating, I now know that those words I didn't know are the same ones Michael and Tina didn't know, so that really IS good, because he can't possibly hold that against me when I didn't do worse than the rest of the class.
But mostly, I did well. I'm happy. I really am. I'm going to sit in awe.
