School-type update

My Core 5.1 final went well. Tomorrow is the Core 1. I need to read the Aeneid tonight. *shudders* God, I hate Vergil. And I can still quote the expletive. Listen:

Tityre, tu patulae recubans sub tegmine fagi
Sivestrem tenui musam meditaris avena
Nos patriam fines, et dulcia linquimus arva
Nos patriae fugimus; tu, Tityre, lente in umbra
Formosam resonare dulces Amarylida silvas.

O, Meliboee, deus nobis haec otia fecit
Namque erit ille mihi semper deus, illius aram
Saepe tener nostris, ab ovilibus imbuet agnus
Ille errare bovis, ut cernis, et ipsum
Ludere quae vellum calamo permisit agresti.

*screams*

Stuck in my head, evil thing! That's not the Aeneid, though, that's the Bucolics. Wish it were the Aeneid we'd done last term, I wouldn't have to read it today. We did get through all the Bucolics except Eclogues 3 and 8....

Um. Anyway. I'm going to be busybusy this week. Cleaning. Waking up early in preparation for second summer session. That sort of thing.

Awww, the Aeneid was my favourite piece of ancient Roman literature! I couldn't exactly say why though... I did have a lot of fun illustrating the story with lots of silly little drawings, however.

I barely passed Vergil last term. I deeply loathe and abhor him.

Cicero was cool, though. I liked Cicero. And Caesar, whom I did in high school? I didn't understand any of it, because I was such a bad student back then, but I liked him. Vergil just sucks, in the bad way.
