Extra Post Cause I'm Learning Latin And I'm Obsessed With Translation At The Moment. Languages Are A

Extra post cause I'm learning Latin and I'm obsessed with translation at the moment. Languages are a big interest of mine, and as I'm planning on studying ancient religion for my postgraduate degree, Latin seemed like a great choice.

(For anyone interested, the text comes from 'Reading Latin: Text and Vocabulary' by Jones and Sidwell. Highly recommend if you need translation practice and want to build your vocabulary, but would need a grammar accompliment if you're a beginner or don't have a basic grasp of Latin sentence structure, cases and basic vocab).

If anyone else is learning Latin pls let me know, I'd love to talk to others learning cause it's not the most popular language, probs because it's dead lmao.

[14/8/24] im writing these posts in a cafe while tryna tame some traces and texting my friends abt the impending doom of phd applications and *gasp* getting a job.

sure i love what i do but i have to remember that physics stares me down like some kind of magnificent beast. and it's hard to keep your resolve in spite of it all. if even the best can't make it, what does that say for the rest of us?

i still believe that i can hear the ocean when i put a seashell to my ear. i still believe that the moon is following me when i'm in the car. i still believe there are fairies living in the garden. i still believe in those fabled creatures from my old storybooks. i still believe in true love. i will carry the magic of my childhood with me forever and it will keep me gentle.
